Chugging along

Well, we're into the 2nd trimester now!

There isn't much of a baby bump yet, mostly a food belly, haha! But things are good otherwise. I am much less nauseous. I'm still exhausted though. I'm glad we just passed midterms at work so the semester is over halfway done. I need a break!! My doctorate is going well, though that is time consuming also. Hybrid kindergarten with Gabriel takes a lot of my time, too. I'll be thankful when everything can get back to normal -- and not this 'new normal' but the old one. I want to be able to bring Grace to storytimes and to get together with friends whenever and wherever. The one thing I have appreciated during this crazy pandemic is being with my family. These kids and Craig are the most important things in the world to me, and it's been a blessing to be 'forced' to be home with them more this year (as much as we might also drive each other crazy sometimes!). 

My next doctor appointment in next week, but it's just a brief one to check on baby's heart rate. I was finally able to hear it on my own doppler machine at 14 weeks + 2 days after searching for weeks. That was exciting and relieving.
