8 & 12 Weeks Pregnant

Hi All, 

I was 12 weeks pregnant on Wednesday 15 April.  I had my second Dr appointment.  The Dr said everything looks good.  I got to hear the baby's heart beat again.  It is so amazing to hear it gets me every time.  I also lost a pound.  That was such a surprise to me but they said that that was not unusual.  They also said that from now on I should start gaining about a pound a week.  I know that gaining weight is what I will be doing from on but for some reason it is hard for me to grasp and accept.  I am so excited to be over the worst part of morning sickness!!!  

My first Dr appointment was 20 March.  This appointment also went really well.  They did a ultra sound which was so amazing!!  The heart beat was 169 beats per min and was 2.19 cm long.  Hearing the heart beat brought tears to my eyes.  It is amazing to hear the heart beat of your own child!!  I really missed having Glen there but one of my best friends Slyvia was there to hold my hand and be excited with.  One great thing that the ultra sound tech did was gave me a video of the whole ultra sound so Glen can watch it when he gets home!
