I'm now at 15 weeks and still counting the days for the “morning” sickness to pass. Other than that, I feel good. I should admit I took some type of short nap and slept in late every day during our Virginia vacation- which was great! My belly is growing, but I don't think any stranger will be asking me about my pregnancy quite yet. This belly shot is from 2 weeks ago- week 13.
My third appointment with the doc will be in 2 more weeks. At the last appointment, I had the chance to hear the baby's heartbeat, which is so amazing. Hearing it for the first time is so special- it helped to make this pregnancy more exciting. The doc would like me to gain a bit more weight in the next two months, but I'm not worried as my current weight gain progress is very similar to the last pregnancy. I think she's comparing me with the lucky Mom's who enjoy eating during the first trimester. I enjoy thinking about the days when eating will be fun again, but until then, I expect to be on the low side of of the weight gain averages! I will take my second trimester blood screen next week and we will have our next ultrasound in week 20. During that visit, we COULD find out the sex, but we are going to try to hold out and be surprised!
