When you're pregnant, you find so many people that really care about you. Every day when I walk into work, everyone that I see will ask me how I'm feeling. It's pretty strange at first, to be honest. But now I'm really appreciating it. Every person in church, neighbor in the laundry room, supervisor at work, and friend at school that I run into really wants to know that I'm doing okay. And if I'm not doing okay, they'll tell me about how their mother-in-law's niece found a cure for morning sickness and proceed to send me the recipe. And I more-than-appreciate all of it.
The first 14 weeks of this pregnancy have been pretty good; disregarding that I have nothing to compare it to. I've been pretty consistently nauseous the entire time. I've had killer headaches that I've never been close to experiencing. I've been tired at any given moment. I've also seen and heard my own baby's heart beating. I've made endless plans and goals for our near-future children. I've watched my husband smile as he describes the dream that he has about our daughter jumping on the bed with us. It's pretty amazing. And I'm awfully excited.
So, thank you to everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes. We love you an awful lot. And our little baby is already the most loved baby in the world because of you.
