Second Trimester

Well, I finally have some energy back! And the morning sickness is much better. I know that is what is supposed to happen, but I'm just so glad that it did!
We have our ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow. I want to cry just thinking about it. Happy tears, you know.
People keep asking whether I want a boy or girl. I haven't really thought I had a preference, but I keep catching myself calling it a "he". Mostly, I just want to find out so I can start shopping some. I thought I would be able to find more unisex clothing, but everything seems to be very boy or very girl.
A couple of weeks ago our family received a blow. My sister-in-law was expecting around the same time I was. She went in for an ultrasound to pin-point the due date and check on things. That is when they found out the fetus had died. They soon had her deliver. I can't imagine how bad that hurt. It has been a worry of mine that after waiting so long to have a baby that I wouldn't go to term. I ached for her, and was scared for me. When I had a check-up a few days later, hearing the heartbeat led to tears of relief. I also was worried that she would have a hard time being around me, but she has assured me that she's okay. Can you believe how strong this woman is?!
