Happy and Healthy


11 centimeters and counting! Our little baby Morsel is growing steadily day by day--and so am I! Although I really need to get serious about gaining some weight, now that the first trimester nausea is almost gone...
She or he was bouncing around yesterday during the ultrasound, flexing little fingers and toes...It was incredible. The first ultrasound wasn't quite as exciting since it really just looked like a jellybean with a fluttering heartbeat. Now it's an actual baby with limbs and all!
I have to remind myself now and then that everything that I'm going through will be so worth it. The nausea, sleepiness, mood swings, etc. And the bills. Oh the bills. I just found out that our insurance only covers X amount of dollars for office visits, and I've just gone over that amount, so from now on everything is going to be out of pocket. OUCH! And a certain amount of our insurance money will go towards delivery, but we're still going to have to pay a large sum out of pocket for that as well. But God is good, and He will provide. He has blessed us with this baby and He's not going to just leave us hanging here.
Unless the baby decides to be shy, we will be able to find out the sex on January 21st! I'm pretty sure it's a girl, but I will be thrilled with either a little boy or girl. Any bets? ;-)
