Coming Out of the Fog

I had a couple of weeks there when I didn't feel like doing much. I was totally unmotivated to do house work, or work on much of anything. I didn't even turn on my camera for about 2 weeks.
I realized the other day that it's probably pregnancy anxiety.
This is my 7th pregnancy.
My first was ectopic, which I found out at a routine OB when they couldn't find a heartbeat at 10 weeks.
The last three were all very brief. Most of my friends and family don't know about them, but they're always there in the back of my mind.

Today I had my 12 week OB appointment and heard the heartbeat after an agonizing wait of 15 seconds which felt like 5 minutes.
Everything is going well, I'm healthy, the heartbeat is strong and fast.
I can feel the fog lifting.
And just in time for fall.
I hope to be here every day for the rest of the week to share some fall photos, and get back into the swing of things.

See you soon
