October 24, 2000

14 weeks, 4 days

I haven't written in more than a week. Sorry. I was away from the computer. I took Brendan to Iowa to visit my grandparents. They hadn't seen him since he was 6 months old so we were overdue for a visit. We had so much fun. Brendan is really into tractors so he was thrilled. He saw at least one in every field.

Greg and I went to the doctor last Tuesday. It was a pretty uneventful visit. I have gained 3 pounds. I figured I had gained a little since I'm able to eat more since the morning sickness is almost over. The doctor spent a long time trying to find the baby's heartbeat. The baby was moving so much that it was really hard to catch. He left after about five minutes to get a better doppler. We heard it eventually, but not for long. The baby just scooted away. I go back on Nov. 7 for another check. I can't wait.

I have noticed that I have much more energy lately. I am so glad. I felt bad that I didn't have the energy to play with Brendan every night like I used to. Now we're back to playing trucks and coloring every night. I am also growing out of my clothes. Greg said that my stomach really popped out while I was in Iowa. I am still squeezing into some of my regular clothes, but the maternity stuff is so much more comfortable.

Greg and I had a talk last night about his family. His family ignored my pregnancy with Brendan, and they are ignoring this pregnancy. When Brendan was born they didn't come to see us even though they are only about two hours away from us. They waited a month before we came up there. It bothers me, and I know it bothers Greg. When we saw them a couple of months ago they were taking a bunch of family pictures in the living room and everyone was included in the pictures but me. It's like I'm not a part of the family, even though we've been married for six years. I don't even know if they realize how much they hurt my feelings. They are nice to Brendan, but they aren't always so nice to me.

Enough of that. I don't want this diary to be depressing. Hope everyone is having a good week.
