The Doppler I have is my saving grace. I've been feeling somewhat "off" about this pregnancy, and being able to listen to the Baby's heartbeat any time I want has been a great sanity saver.

I can't figure out why I can't bond with this baby. When I was pregnant with Ian I spent all my free time reading about pregnancy, going on message boards, etc... With this pregnancy half the time I forget I'm even pregnant! Don't get me wrong; I'm excited about having another baby! I just can't fall in love right now.

I'm assuming that a lot of it has to do with the fact I'm trying to protect my heart. I know the truth now about what can happen, the heartbreak of losing a pregnancy, and the horrible reality that you aren't 'in the clear' until you're holding your precious baby in your arms. The ignorance of pregnancy is gone for me, so I am counting down the days, hours, minutes, until my baby is here and safe!
