20 Week Update

I cannot begin to explain how fast the time has FLOWN during my second pregnancy.  Between working, cooking, cleaning, laundry, caring for the hubby and a puppy and daily shots there is little time for fun....

I am swooning over the tiny kicks that I am starting to feel on a daily basis.  I've been anxious to feel them and now that they are starting it brings a whole new aspect to things.

I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...
