Baby at 13 weeks 1 day!
Heartbeat 150 BPM


Had another appointment with my OB yesterday. Everything looks great. I've even gained a couple pounds and the doctor was happy about that. I can't say I was to excited LOL. She told me since I started to pregnancy at a healthy weight she wants to see me put on around 25 pounds. It was a quick and easy appointment. They checked my blood pressure which was 108/60 which is good for me! Then the doctor did an ultrasound and my little baby was moving around so much that is was hard to get a good picture! I can not even put it into words how cool it was to watch my baby kick, roll around, and wave it's tiny little arms. Between 18 and 20 weeks I'll have my screening ultrasound done at the hospital and we should be able to find out the sex. I am super excited to find out but I don't care either way. If it is a boy I'll be so happy to dig out Wyatt's baby clothes. He has so many cute outfits I saved that he only wore once or twice. Boys are a blast and I love the idea of having a house full of boys. But if it is a girl I'll get to buy lots of pink and do lots of girly stuff. I will be so happy no matter what, I just want my baby to be healthy. My next appoinment will be in 3 weeks and I'll have my AFP bloodwork done. Then we'll go back to visitng the OB every 4 weeks until later on in my pregnancy.

12 weeks 3 days pregnant

As of Monday I will officially be in my second trimester : )
I have been feeling A LOT better. The morning sickness is almost completely gone. I still have those moments where I feel like I might be sick though. My energy is coming back and I feel great if I get a good nights sleep. But the past two nights I haven't slept well at all. I am trying really hard to sleep on my sides but I usually wake up with a sore back. So I spend the majority of the night tossing and turning. I know that isn't going to get better as I get bigger. Just one of the many joys of pregnancy! Next Tuesday I have another OBGYN appt and I am super excited. I always look forward to those appointments because all my thoughts are on nothing but my baby and that makes me happy.
