seventeen & eighteen

due to the ridiculous amount of snow, i was forced to reschedule my 17 week appt. and saw Dr. K a little closer to the 18 mark.   holy, almost halfway.whew.   this kid is already throwing curve balls with a heartbeat that is fluctuating, that even those who believe in wives tales couldn't make an accurate assumption about the sex of baby k #2.    we started our appts with a 178, then 164  and now a heartbeat of 152 just shy of 18 weeks. i looked back to week #17 with Banks   and his heartbeat was 158. this game of numbers is just plain crazy. i've been feeling baby K#2 move quite a bit this week, especially after sweets!    i'm so thankful and so blessed for this movement as i pondered upon this blog    http://ohmifam.blogspot.com/2014/02/big-things-come-in-small-packages.html   last night as i scrolled through Facebook before bed.  don't read it unless you have a box of tissues in hand. but, please read it and please pray for this brave family who experienced something so awful.
