Today I am 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. The 1st trimester is almost over, and I will enter into the most comfortable period of my pregnancy. I received the baby doppler on Monday and I've been listening to the baby's heartbeats everyday.... I showed it to the boys, Philip and my mom, all of them were very excited to hear the baby's heart beating so strongly. It is a wonderful device, making me feel so much better because I can't feel the baby's movements yet. I think i've been feeling some flutterings, but I am not sure if it's the baby because it's still so early. I plan to rent the doppler until maybe 16 weeks when I start to feel the movements regularly.
The baby's heartbeats have been high... about 178 per minute. It's a great sound to hear to, I have to restrict myself not listening to it too much.
It's a long wait until we can find out the baby's gender. I am used to thinking the baby is a boy for some reason. We are thinking about changing the boys' room to another one(the guestroom) so the baby can be in their room... but I told Philip the baby will probably be 1 or 2 before he moves out of my bed into his own room, so really no need to hurry.
This week one day I forgot the time and picked up Jacob late. He was crying, I felt SO bad.. He went inside to Big Springs to go potty, and after he came out he still didn't see my van, he started to worry. Gladly there was a lady who was with him, she is a volunteer to help the kids cross the streets. I felt so sorry to see my big boys in tears. I totally understand the feeling. When I was in grade school I remember having to wait forever for my mom to pick me up, after all the kids were gone, it's so scary and lonely. I promised Jacob I will try to never be late again. Now I make sure I leave the house at 3:15pm and I'd rather wait for him then having him be scared. I've been trying to take them either for a bike ride or playground after we got home these past few days. The weather has been wonderful, and I don't want to the boys to stick in our house for so long. Fresh air and exercise are good for them... and me! Yesterday we went to Crowley park, the other side where the big kids playground is. They had a great time, didn't want to leave after 30 minutes of play, and were so dusty from playing. We came back home and I gave them a bath, and they felt so relaxed but I still had to give them their homework time.
I went in for Jacob's report with Mrs. Huggins on Wednesday morning. I was so proud to hear that Jacob is doing great in school. His math is excellent, got 95 in the test(he missed only 1 question which his teacher said everyone missed because the question was poorly written). His behavior is also excllent. Mrs. Huggins said Jacob is one of her favorite students, always listening carefully, helping out and knowing what to do at the right time. I really can't complain. I know Jacob is a wonderful child. I can only praise the Lord for making him such a good nature. I pray the Lord will always keep him this way, and that he will grow up to be a useful vessel for the Lord's building.
Timothy is also doing great, both at school and at home. He accompies me to yoga class and when we are home alone, he is very quiet. I know he misses Jacob's accompaniment and everyday when Jacob gets home from school Timothy is full of energy again. I am so glad they have each other as the best playmate. Thank you Lord for giving them each other.
Next Friday I will go in for my 2nd OB appointment. Can't wait ! Hopefully I will be able to schedule my ultrasound then for probably late Feb or early March.
