Now that I'm 17 (almost 18!) weeks into this pregnancy, and since several people have asked how I'm getting along, I thought I'd do a quick update here:
Firstly, I am SO THANKFUL that God has allowed us another pregnancy, and for us to become parents again!!! Praise Him for His goodness!!!
Physically, I am doing great; the nausea passed at around 12 weeks and I am slowly regaining some energy. Though, I have noted that I don't have as much energy in this pregnancy, as I had at this stage in my last. I can't really think why, as I am getting the same amount of sleep each night, eating the same way, and taking the exact same supplements. Perhaps, it is just the obvious fact that I now have an extra child to care for, as opposed to then, and am also two years older! Ha!
In the last few weeks, I have begun to feel Baby's movements, which is such an exciting time!!! I feel so blessed to be a woman and get to feel this precious, new life growing, wriggling and kicking around. ♥
For this pregnancy, we have employed an independent midwifery firm, so that I can finally have the homebirth, that we feel will be safest for both Baby and me. This service wasn't available to me last pregnancy, but I am so thankful that it is now. I have two midwives assigned to me (one whom I have already met) and they will pick up my care at 36 weeks. Up until then, I am alternating between seeing our family GP and a lady OB at a local hospital.
We have an ante-natal appointment coming up at the end of the month, and then just a couple of weeks later, are going for another ultrasound! We are all so excited to find out what the gender of the Baby is!!!
