Currently hanging out in my obstetrician's waiting room, doing my three hour blood glucose test. What I wouldn't give for a ham sandwich right now! Later this afternoon we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat again. I'm a teeny bit nervous but mostly super excited.
And now that we know it's a boy, I think we have a name: Leo! It's my great-grandfather's name, and I think it's awesome.

Fourteen weeks, two days
And all of these things that make this pregnancy so different from the first one.
Like the perfect twelve week scan with a beautiful, wiggly little guy flailing his tiny arms and legs and doing flips in my uterus.
Like a terrified late night rush to the emergency room which ended in tears of joy rather than tears of sorrow, after a scan revealed a perfect baby with a perfect heartbeat.
Telling people. Saying it out loud, making it official. Watching my body sprout the beginnings of a baby bump.
And finally being in the second trimester. It's such a relief. I kind of never thought I'd actually be here. Now, I just can't wait for April so we can meet our snuggly baby boy. And this time, I actually believe that we will.
