Moms Journal Entry 1

20 weeks

Well here we are at twenty weeks already. Thank goodness! Those first couple months are Gods way of making sure you don't want too many kids. Well anyway, enough complaining, especially now all I have to do is ride it out for a while. This baby, I hope it's a boy, is extremely active. I don't think Annahalle ever kicked me the way he does already, and he's only getting started. The good thing is that's my only real problem. I feel great except for getting a little tired chasing my toddler around forever but thats just how it goes I guess.

Monday I go for my ultrasound and I can hardly wait. I'm dying to know the sex and also to be sure everything is fine. Anyway I find that blurry little picture of the young man I will someday know to be truely facinating. It's even better than hearing the heartbeat of a being who does not yet even have a face. Incredible isn't it?

One of my favorite things about being pregnant is my husband. The thrilled look on his face when he feels the baby kick is a true delight. I can hardly believe what a wonderful father he is. Annahalle adores him, as do I, and I know the new baby will too. He's also a great husband. He puts up with my ravings and rarely complains, and he gives GREAT backrubs. I love him dearly. Anyway, more next week and watch for pictures!
