We are currently 14 weeks into this pregnancy thing, and it is amazing how fast things happen! Some of my pants are getting tight, but other than that I normally don't feel pregnant. I have been very blessed as I know a lot of women are very sick while they're pregnant. I did have about 2 months of full-time nausea, but now I'm feeling much better and am very excited about all the changes that this 2nd trimester will bring.
We've been to the doctor twice so far, once at 9 weeks and then again last week (week 13). We were able to hear the heartbeat both times, which was so exciting.
We took our first positive pregnancy test on Mother's Day (May 13th). I then proceeded to take a 2nd test the next day, and then of course a 3rd test the next day, just to be sure. We had our first doctor's appointment on our 3rd anniversary, June 12th. It took a couple of minutes for our doctor to find the heartbeat, since the baby was only 1 inch long, about the size of a grape. Once she found it, Jason said that it sounded like a train. Then he asked the doctor if that meant our kid would be a train wreck. The doctor started laughing (does that mean yes?). On our 2nd appointment, it was very easy to find the heartbeat, because the baby had already grown to about 3 inches - about the size of a peach. The heartbeat was really strong and about 158 beats per minute.
We are very thankful for all of our friends & family and appreciate all your prayers & support during this exciting time in our lives! We'll keep you updated on our progress!
Here's a picture of me at 14 weeks...can you see the baby yet? I can!
