The Next Big Adventure~


What you are looking at is a picture of , as Jason put it, our family's next big adventure.  Yes, this is a picture of baby number 2 in utero at 12 weeks and 3 days with its little hand up near its face.  Amazing isn't it?!

It was such a relief to hear the baby's heartbeat yesterday and see that the baby is thriving and doing well.  I felt like I was in a holding pattern with this pregnancy due to the fact that the last two have not been viable.  I didn't want to get too excited for obvious reasons.  Now that we have made it to this point, I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief and let go into the experience.  The risk of a miscarriage at 12 weeks with the baby being healthy is only 1 or 2% .  The statistics are nice to read but the good feeling I have inside is an even better indicator of this being a happy, healthy pregnancy.  

It is so nice to actually be able to enjoy this experience now instead of feeling I am waiting to do so.  In about 6 weeks or so we will get to find out whether this little bean is a boy or a girl.  My feeling is that it is a girl.  I say this because I keep calling it a "she".  I haven't had any dreams during this pregnancy yet.  However,  I did have a dream during my last pregnancy of a little girl with lots of dark brown hair and big brown eyes.  She was a happy baby in my dream.   I will be sure to share any dreams I have of this little one.  So far my dreams are just plain weird.  

All in all, I feel good.  Jason is back home from Costa Rica and things have slowed down, which is a nice change.  It is hard to believe that the holidays are here and the end of the year is near. I have much to reflect on over this past year as it seems a lot has happened.  2010 has been a wild ride and not an easy one.  To be honest,  I am ready to say so long to this year and open myself up to what is next to come. 

So here I am making the most of the moment, welcoming our next big adventure, and loving every minute of it all.

Peace Out,
Marcia
