this is the second blog i've started today

but i don't really know how to say what i want to say, or how to express how i am feeling. and some things i can't really say, either...probably to the point that i don't have much of a blog to write at all.

what i can write about is pretty much already available in facebook statuses. i have been feeling tired, nauseous, and this week i had a short-lived stomach bug. i haven't slept well for the entire break, which is a bummer because i wanted to rest and catch up before going back to work. sometimes it is pregnancy-related, other times it is circumstance, other times i'm just wide awake for no reason.

i have been feeling rounder as time goes on. what to expect says that i should be able to feel my uterus sticking out just a bit in my lower abdomen, and i'm pretty sure i can, and i'm pretty sure it is getting bigger. i am twelve weeks today, so i'll be in my second trimester in a week (by some counts i am already in my second trimester). i hope it brings a break from nausea and that the headaches that are becoming more frequent don't intensify.

i have the thought i think many women in early pregnancy have - is there REALLY a baby in there??? at this stage i can't feel the baby move, and i won't be able to for several more weeks. it has been over a month since my last ultrasound, and it just seems like it can't be real still. i am very ready for our monthly appointment this week to make sure that baby and i are both doing well.

otherwise there are a few rough patches that i am wandering through right now, and i would really appreciate prayer in that, as well as prayer for baby and for a good appointment this week.
