We are finally in the second trimester!
It is such a glorious feeling... elation, relief, excitement, and nervousness all rolling around in me all the time. Elation because we have made it this far! Relief because we are past the dreaded morning sickness and super scary "anything can happen" phase. Excitement and nervousness because we have 6 months to make sure things are ready because Baby V will be here!
However, while I am excited to be in the second trimester, I am still waiting for another milestone - the ultrasound where we might find out the gender. I mean, the 2nd trimester is a big milestone in itself - you'd think I'd be completely happy, but I still can't feel Baby V moving around in there, and I still haven't been sick (not complaining about that), so sometimes I still think, "Are you in there?" That is why I want that next ultrasound, to make sure things are ok; that Baby V is growing and developing well!
Has anyone reading this felt this way? Am I the only one to make it to one milestone only to immediately look forward to the next?
Baby V is growing:
Baby V is about the size of a lemon. He can squint, grimace, and even pee! His facial muscles are moving as he practices one expression after another. And Baby V's kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. Ishy - thank goodness we don't have to buy diapers yet! Just 182 days until we get to meet Baby V!
Nope not at all! Every time I got to one milestone I was ready for the next! Even when I was 8 months pregnant I continued to worry even if I'd just had an u/s done and saw that everything was alright. I wanted to have an u/s daily just to make sure everything was okay. All I know is from the moment you get pregnant and even once the baby is here and you see they're healthy you can never stop worrying!
