I had my 14 week Dr. Appt today. My group of doctors opened an office right here in the town I live in which is SO much more convenient! It was also very relaxed as an atmosphere because there were about 4 people in the whole building as opposed to 400. The doctor I met is new sice Grace was born and was wonderful. I like her a LOT. My belly is measuring just right and the baby's heartbeat is nice and strong. It was so nice to get to hear it again. She had a hard time following it for long because Tyler was talking her hear off and the baby was "swimming all over the place." :) Active is good at this point but i hope (s)he isn't TOO active! :) We discussed my history and she thought i might be able to be induced again if I want to at 39 weeks. Something we'll definitely consider and pray about. Ultimately I need to talk to my preferred doctor (who induced me and delivered Grace) to see what she says. I figure she knows me "best" and I want to get her input. I've gotten this from the nurse practitioner and a doctor now though so I think in the end it will be up to us.
This past couple weeks I've felt much better and stopped losing weight. Getting out of the weight loss mindset is very hard when pregnant! You go through those months where you can't eat anything and after 4 years of steadily losing weight (with a break to have Grace of course) and increasing my health, I can't deny that seeing the number go down gave me mixed emotions. It's a thrill to see it, but immediately fear enters- is this good for the baby? I've finally got my appetite back so it's nice to just be in "control" mode. I also like that if I want to cheat (a little) I can without paying for it in the gym! Assuming I don't cheat every day! So with my new ability to eat more than just crackers and bagels and apples I've also got glimpses of energy and the sunshine has been a huge help. So last week we traveled to PA on Wed. for Lori's birthday, I took Grace shopping with me while the boys went to the Tribe game, I went back to PA to have a girls day with Lori on Saturday and we played outside a LOT the next few days! This week I took the kids to Galion to see the Pierce's for the day and tomorrow I head to Mansfield to have another girls day out! It's nice to be human again. :)
Wednesday was so much fun. The drive was a little under 2 hours and very easy from here. Bethany has 3 boys including a 3 month old baby. It was a nice treat to have a baby in my arms and encouraging that I enjoyed it so much. :) Her boys played really well with Tyler and Grace and we even got all 5 kids in beds and quiet for 2 hours so we could visit! We left around 8:15 and got home a little after 10. I wonder if i need my eyes checked because I had a harder time than usual seeing in the dark. I think it was the headache of listening to the kids sing along with our Elmo CD combined with just being exhausted. :)
In other news we've contacted our realtor again and put our house up for sale. We ask anyone who reads this to please please commit this matter to prayer. It's the Lord's house and wish for Him to do with it what He wants, but in our human desires we want it SOLD. We want to break even and be able to begin saving so we can buy a house someday that we can actually live in. We don't feel at this time like God has any major location changes ahead for us so we feel ready to 'put down roots' so to speak. However if He keeps us mobile it could be for a reason. We need to have complete trust in Him and his timing. Have a great weekend!
