14 Weeks= 2nd Trimester!!!

Well today, Halloween officially marks the beginning of our 2nd trimester.  Last week I began to feel much better.  I am having less nausea which means I am able to actually enjoy food again and Irby's cooking. :) 

I am having to wear my  belly bands with everything I wear because nothing fits.  Also, I am starting to have the pregnancy bump instead of looking like a "beer gut".  Irby and I are getting more excited now that we can really see the bump, knowing our baby is inside.  :)

12 1/2 Week Dr. Appt

Irby and I were soooo excited about today because we thought the doctor would be able to tell if our baby was a boy or girl.  I followed Claire's advice and drank a little caffeine so the baby would wake up and "spread em".  Little did I know that I would have to wait an hour to get in... so by the time we got in to the doctor all the caffeine had worn off and I was sleepy... and so was the baby.  :(

The baby was in a little crevice all tucked in... it was sooo cute to see!  It's long arms and legs were moving around and it had the hiccups!  We tried to get it to move and wake up but it was comfortable where it was and not moving... I think the baby is just stubborn and will let us know what it is in it's own time (sounds kinds like it's daddy, uh?  haha)

The heart beat was 149 and the baby was completely healthy.  :)  Looks like we are going to have to wait until December 20th to find out what it is.    This is the best picture we got because we were so concentrated on trying to find out if it was a girl or boy.  You can see it's long legs and little fingers.  :)

11 Weeks

Here is my 11 week bump!  I took it Monday... sorry I'm just posting it now.  I met my doctor today, Dr. Divine, and I am really excited about her.  I also heard the heartbeat for the first time.  It was amazing!  The heartbeat ranged from 154-160's.
