The hearts of little children

Nothing in the world has touched my heart like the sound of my baby's heartbeat. My only wish is that Ryan could have been there with me.  He had to settle for a recording from my phone.  So, my second appointment was yesterday and Dr. Stafford says everything is going great.  My energy is up (a little) and I am no longer experiencing the constant cold, thanks to the synthroid.  Now that I am in my twelfth week the nausea is starting to subside - slightly.  My tummy is starting to feel more firm and (supposedly) Baby Lang is about the size of a plum.  Hopefully I am one of the lucky ones who gets to experience a smooth sailling second trimester :) 
I know I am not the first woman to be pregnant but this is my first time experiencing it.  I felt that I knew a good deal about pregnancy and babies but I am learning so much now that I think I barely knew anything!  I am so lucky to have my mother, mother in law and grandmothers (including Grammie in law) who all gently give advice and offer suggestions.  Being so far away from all of them is tough. 
So only two more months before we will have an opportunity to find out - Boy or Girl!  I just can't wait.  I am excited to know if we need to buy baseball bats and golf clubs or barbies and golf clubs.  Ryan is so excited to teach golf to Baby Lang no matter who comes out!  He might have a harder time if we end up with a prissy little girl (like I was) who doesnt care to get dirty.  But we shall see! 
Love you all!
