Loved
I am loved. And sometimes it is hard to accept.
The last few days I have been especially aware of how much Paul loves me. When I am cranky, tired, in pain, lazy, sick...the list goes on, and I pretty much always am at least one or more of those lately...he does his best to take care of me. He offers to go to the store at 11pm to get me something, or make me something to eat. He gives me lots of hugs and tells me I'm cute. He just offers to do whatever he can for me when I don't feel good.
A few nights ago I was really miserable and Paul was being so sweet, I finally started to cry. Feeling like a lazy blob on the couch, I didn't feel like I deserved to be loved so well. And later I began to think about my relationship with God and how I sometimes feel the same way, that it's hard to accept such a perfect love that I don't derserve.
So, to my God and to my Husband I say, "Thank you for loving me so well. I love you, too."

February
Wow, it's February already!
The good news is that I am not feeling sick! A few times I have not eaten for awhile just to enjoy feeling hungry without being sick.
The bad news is that the last few days I have been having a lot of lower back pain. Well, at least it's something different to deal with.
I am also feeling an incredible urge to reorganize all our stuff. First, because all our junk is a mess. Second, because I know that with a baby coming we will be accumulating so much more stuff. And finally, because we will probably be moving in the next 5-9 months.
I have started going through some things, but feel like I still need an overall plan of attack. I am thinking about getting some new plastic storage containers, but it's hard to know what size would be best. Hopefully it will start coming together soon.

2nd Trimester!
My 2nd Trimester is here! While I've read several different dates of when the 2nd Trimester exactly begins, it is sometime between the start of Week 13 and Week 14. And today the ticker at the top of my blog moved to the 4th month! So I am deeming myself officially there.
Some of you have been wondering why I haven't written anything on here for the last week and a half. The short answer....my last post said about all I have had to say. I've been so tired of feeling sick!
I wrote several weeks ago that my new favorite food was Cheerios. The last few weeks I have kept a baggie of Cheerios next to my bed or in my purse most all of the time. Paul laughs at me, that whenever we want to go anywhere I have to have a snack first and bring a snack (or two) with me.
I actually haven't been eating the Cheerios quite as much recently. My new favorite food seems to be cheeseburgers from McDonald's. Yum. Now, I have always been able to enjoy a cheeseburger, but now I want those things a lot more. One of the reasons I like them is because after I eat them, for some reason I don't feel sick for most of the rest of the day. I'm not sure if it is the combo of carbs and meat, or just the amount of fat? I don't know, but is seems to work.
Last week I bought a few new-to-me shirts at Value Village. Some that I can wear now, and some that I still need to grow into. I can't remember the last time that I bought items of clothes that were too big for me, but I was hoping to grow into.
I'm so happy for the two women from our Sunday School class that have had babies in the last week! Congratulations Jamie and Jessica! I look forward to meeting their new little ones. And I still can't believe that I will soon be the one in the hospital with the new little one!

Heard Baby's Heartbeat Today!
And it was a beautiful sound!
In the last few days I have made my first two trips to my Doctor's office. I am so happy that a friend from church was able to recommend this Doctor to me, as she is a really nice Christian woman.
Thursday I went in to fill out all my paperwork, meet with the nurse, and give a lot of blood. Then this morning I went in to meet the Doctor and get checked over. I found out that my levels of Vitamin D are a little low, just like most people who live in the Seattle area, as we live without seeing much sun. But other than that, nothing to worry about yet.
The best part of course was hearing Baby's heartbeat for the first time. After warning me that she might not be able to find the heartbeat right away, she found it immediately. It was a strong 174 beats a minute. Then to show me the difference between that and my own heartbeat, she moved over a little to listen to some of my blood vessels. My heartbeat was about 90 beats a minute, almost half of little Baby's. Then she moved back to let me hear Baby's precious heart again.
Of course, after hearing such an amazing thing, I cried off and on for about an hour! It does help me realize just a little more that there really is a tiny person in there, and I am really a mommy.
