Second Trimester!

Today I start my second trimester!! I'm beginning to feel less tired, but still having a little morning sickness (and in the morning too). No puking though! This is the first pregnancy where I haven't actually puked. However, most of the time with the other two pregnancies, I puked when I was getting ready for work, which means I had to get up before the crack of dawn. I wonder if having to get up early might have had anything to do with it? Hmmm. Anyways, I can feel my uterus now and I 'm obviously pregnant. Still nervous though since I'm not as far along as I was when I lost the last baby. I still have 2 more weeks to be out of the most dangerous time.
I've found that doctors have different ideas of when the most vulnerable time for a miscarriage is. When I lost baby David I was told by the emergency room doctor and my midwife that most miscarriages are lost either before the woman knows she's pregnant or 12-14 weeks. Then I've heard some doctors say, you're in the clear once you've made it to 10-12 weeks. I also was given some literature to read about miscarriages and you can actually miscarriage up to 20 weeks (that's half way done!) So I guess you're never really in the clear. So much other stuff can happen during the pregnancy to cause a loss. I thought about it alot with Faith, not so much last time, but now I think about it alot. I know God is in control and what ever happens is for the best. But that doesn't stop me from praying for the health and safety of this baby, and it doesn't stop me from being excited either.
Anyways, enough jibber jabber for now.
