Absentee Blogger

I have been an absentee blogger. I feel guilty over this since I have lots of thoughts on things to write about. However, going through the 1st trimester this time has been VERY exhausting. The fatigue has been bad. By lunch I start crashing. Often, I am in bed by 7 p.m., not necessarily sleeping but resting. It is amazing how you "forget" how tiring pregnancy can be.  So, because of this I really haven't had the energy to be a mommy and a blogger.  I just have enough to be a mommy.

The good news is that the 2nd trimester will be starting in just over a week. Hopefully that will mean a return to having some energy.  Until then, I will try to at least attempt to blog once a week. If my energy returns, I start blogging more regularly, I hope.

In other news, I went in for my 12 week appoint with my Ob/Gyn, Dr. Quinn.  All looks fabulous! Our peanut's heart rate was 162. The baby is measuring a bit ahead by a couple of days. By the way, one of the best sounds in the world is hearing your baby's heart! Amazing!!

Also, Ginny is doing wonderful. She is our happy little girl! She isn't walking yet, but cruises everywhere. I honestly think that walking isn't interesting her much, not when she can get everywhere by crawling! She was with us at the appointment today and couldn't quite figure out what was going on.  She will when her new little brother or sister enters the world in 6 more months.
