14 weeks tomorrow!!! That’s what I’ve always considered to be the “true” 2nd trimester beginning. I have had a few cramps today and thought I might finally be popping out a bit- no such luck. Besides throwing up breakfast yesterday and the ever-present evening headache, the nausea and morning sickness seem to be mostly gone. My appetite is much better.
Something eerie happened today. Sam and I had our Little Gym session today. One of the ladies there had an infant with her too. I chatted a bit with her and asked how old the baby was. She said 6 months. I counted back the months in my head and came up with the baby being born in March. So, I asked and she said she was born on March 3rd. That gave me chills, since that is when I think our baby will be born. Remember, it was seeing a baby promptly after my IUI that told me my luck had changed and I would be pregnant. SO what are the odds that the one baby I’d asked about since finding out I’m pg was born on the date I expect to be my day of delivery?? Then of course, I had to laugh at myself and shake my superstitions off. Many babies must have been born on that day!! But it was neat to get an idea of what I’d have this time next year!!
So, we get ready to go and follow this lady and her kids out to the parking lot. Her toddler starts to drag the baby carrier and her Mom tells her to hold her hand, not Katelyn’s carrier. KATELYN’S carrier?!! That is the one name I SWORE I’d name my child all throughout my childhood. I never even had a boy’s name. Is it a sign?? Let me tell you this baby was adorable… and a girl! I have been thinking this baby is a boy based on one dream. I may change my guess now.
Thankfully, the one year anniversary of the September 11th crisis passed uneventfully. Big sigh of relief.
