Throughout this pregnancy, I've been setting little mental milestones of what to reach next. First it was 12 weeks where the risk of miscarriage goes down, then it was 20 weeks where we got to see if our little peanut was healthy and next up was 24 weeks, the age of viability (not that I would want out little one born at 24 weeks but it seemed like a good next marker to have).
Everything continues to go well... no illness and I definitely have more energy than the first trimester. I have a great appetite but not to the point that I am eating a crazy amount and feel like I've been gaining weight appropriately. Other than chocolate (which I love no matter what), I don't really have any food cravings or aversions. I still am able to work out. I tend to life weights, do some cardio and other functional fitness type moves. I love the website Crossfit Moms for ideas of workouts during pregnancy and good modifications. I haven't had to miss any work and, other than not eating or going to the bathroom frequently enough on busy days, feel like it is going well. All in all, no complaints and we feel so blessed this has been an easy pregnancy!
It is exciting to feel our little girl growing. She is active and busy... and I love laying back and watching my stomach roll with her kicks. It is such an amazing miracle to have her growing and developing!
On a sad note as well, Chet's grandpa passed away after aortic aneurysm surgery. He was an amazing man of God who prayed for all of his family daily. We know he is with the Lord now and filled with such joy but I'm sad that he won't be here to welcome our little girl in December. He was so excited when we told him and Gram the news a few months ago.
We did get a chance to see everyone though which was wonderful. Our nephews are getting so big and have such fun personalities!
