Baby Eight - The Second Trimester of Pregnancy

Week 16

My midwife had her mastectomy this week. She's doing really well. And her prognosis is good. We did a blessingway for her before her surgery and it was nice to simply be around women who cared for other women.

I also had to travel again - more airplanes. It was a conference and I was speaking. I managed to not throw up from morning sickness or nerves during my presentations. LOL

I even ventured out a bit and told some of the people I work with that I'm expecting. They were very happy for me - such a nice reaction! I've gotten a few cards in the mail from my friends which is super sweet and makes me feel really loved. I worry sometimes about me really connecting to the pregnancy because I feel so defensive sometimes. It's nic eto be able to let my guard down occasionally. KWIM?

My client/friend is at home on bedrest I hope she stays pregnant until I get back. She had better! I offered to come home now, she and her dh declined. I've also got a friend who had her baby at home while I was gone. Gotta love a good homebirth story from a snow storm.
