I am happy to announce that my husband and I are expecting! We are nearly 17 weeks along, and everything is wonderful. The baby has a strong heartbeat (I did get to see it a few weeks ago due to an early ultrasound), and all the necessary parts so far. Now into the 2nd trimester, I’m feeling outrageously fabulous. The first three months were easy (some tiredness and nausea), and now I have energy to burn and fewer mood swings. Hubby bought me Eat Right 4 Your Baby, and I’m following the advice therein layered with the advice of my midwives. I feel healthier pregnant than I ever did not, and I can feel my priorities shifting already…little things that bugged me before are forever lost in the “glow” of impending parenthood. I am so happy to be present and joyful during this amazing time; I must credit some of the mental benefit to the BTD. I also firmly believe that we would not have conceived without both of us eating right for our type. I look forward to the coming adventure, body changes, and learning that lies ahead, ever thankful for the quiet guidance and support of a healthy, balanced, beneficial diet. I also plan on always trying to conceive in the spring or summer so that I don’t have to be hugely preggers during a hot, humid summer, because the heat bothers me enough now…wink

Be well, take care, and enjoy the breezes when they come…
