Baby Update
Just thought I would post a brief baby update...
My last appointment was January 20th and I was 17 weeks (I think!) I had gained 3 lbs. total and the baby was doing great! My next appointment isn't until the first week of March. My doctor has been letting me come every 6 weeks since we have a 4 hour drive to get to him! Yes, that leaves lots of questions and concerns come "Baby Time" but since I am historically a very slow laborer, we are hoping the drive won't be too much of a concern-- we will have to wait and see what God has for us this time! Ryan does have his First Responders training which includes basic baby delivery and he has all the necessary supplies so if worst comes to worst, I guess the baby can always be delivered safely between here and there! (I wouldn't mind so much but Ryan is horrified by that thought!! :)
I can tell I have had some rapid weight gain and growth the past two weeks but that is also "normal" for me. With the other three pregnancies, I gained between 10 and 15 pounds between my 4th and 5th months!!! One day there is no bump, the next, I will have no clothes that fit anymore-- literally!
The coolest thing is that I have been feeling lots of movement! This is probably my favorite part of being pregnant! What a blessing to be able to feel this miracle moving and growing inside me! I am so thankful God is allowing us to experience this joy once again.
I did say this would be short right?

I love being pregnant and feeling my baby move...What a special bond! It is neat that God gives us the opportunity to bond with our babies before they are even born!! :)
Annette, so glad to get the baby update and that everything is going well!! It is so amazing feeling the little ones' move, that is the ONLY part of pregnancy I enjoyed....and of course the bundles of joy that come afterward!!;-)
yay, movement!!!! oh, what a joy to be pregnant! we're praying for you all. xoxo
Aw, Annette! What a special time for you and your precious baby. I love when you can feel the movements. That is one of my favorite parts too! I'm so glad y'all are both healthy and doing well. I am so excited about your coming birth story too! I can't wait to hear all about it! Love ya!
Be glad over the 4 hour drive to the doctor there is a town every 30 minutes. We pray for you & Will-B every night.
