Secret's Out!

Tears were shed, hugs were had, and advice was given! We are so excited to have shared the news of Peanut with family and friends. Now we no longer have to hide our elation, and we have many ears willing to listen to our excitements and fears. Although we are still reveling in the excitement, this is thus far the worst part of the pregnancy. I am happy to report that many of the annoying symptoms of pregnancy that were present in the first trimester have now dissipated. On the other hand, we are impatiently waiting for some movement from Peanut. This in between stage is the most difficult because I don't "feel" pregnant, but I also know I will long for these days in just a few weeks. We are counting down the days until our 16 week appointment so we can hear Peanut's heartbeat again. In the meantime, we watch as our Lemon grows into a Naval Orange, and each week we read what Peanut did last week and what the activities will be for the next week. Tim sends text messages asking how Peanut and me are doing, so we are already feeling like a family. Peanut, mommy and daddy love you so much and can't wait for you to feel the love of our family; Baxter and Ginger want to give you kisses too!
