Am I ready?

So just now approaching my 2nd trimester...which by the way has gone by so much faster than when I was pregnant with Kevin...and I'm feeling great! Never experienced any nausea or morning sickness - I can even drink orange juice (which I love) on an empty stomach. This is great. I just know it's a sign that God is going to bless us with an easy going, laid back and quiet baby! Sorry Kevin - the complete opposite of you. Love ya kid but you weren't an easy baby.

Kevin is experiencing what I'm being told is "growing pains" in his legs. It started last night and kept us up all night long. I think the pain went away but getting him comfortable and back to sleep was a challenge. After being up all night and being woken up several times I kept asking myself "am I ready for this again?" My heart says yes but my tired body says no! I would have thought by now the shock of being pregnant would have worn off....it hasn't! I'm thrilled to be pregnant again don't get me wrong but it's still amazing to me that I was even able to get pregnant. Maybe that's the shock that hasn't worn off yet!

Had a check up appt yesterday and baby's heartbeat sounded great! It's so wonderful to hear the heartbeat and know everything is okay. My doctor said he/she was sleeping because the heartbeat was 150 bpm compared to 170 last time! I'm very ready to start feeling the baby move. That was my favorite part last time - especially the hiccups : ) That never got old!

We're in the process of picking out names. Nothing set in stone yet but playing around with a few. Kevin says we're supposed to name the baby Kevin....or mommy or daddy. He prefers names he's already familiar with. When I suggest a name to him he says "nah, that's not a good name!" On the way home he suggested "car, tree or nana" so I'm not sure what Kevin is going to actually call the baby!

Another appt in 2 weeks. No sono until September when we should find out what we're having. My early prediction is a boy....everyone else says girl!
