14 weeks

Tomorrow I will be at 14 weeks.  This means I am in my second trimester!  I've read that the second trimester, for most women, is the most comfortable of the three.   Charlie and I had another doctor appointment this past Friday.  We didn't see my doctor, but we saw the nurse pracitioner.  All is going well.  I have gained about a pound and a half since we found out.  We heard the baby's heartbeat again (the heart beat was fluctuating  around 150) and the baby's heart beat kept getting louder and softer because the baby was moving around, which was really neat. She said the baby should be the size of a grapefruit.  My next appointment is Febuary 5th and my sonogram is Feb 18th! We are very excited about the sonogram.  Here are some belly shots:

Week 13

Yesterday was my first day at 13 weeks.  Starting next week I will be in my second trimester.  This week my baby is 3 inches long and roughly the size of a peach.  Baby's vocal cords are developing and baby's intestines and starting to move toward the his/her abdomen.

We are Expecting!

   On Saturday November 21st, 2009 I was beginning to wonder if I was pregnant.  Charlie and I decided to take a pregnancy test.  We took the home pregnancy test and it came up positive!  We had a doctor appointment on November 24, 2009 where it was confirmed and we found out the due date.  We are due July 20, 2010!  Here is the picture of the positive test.

Since then, we had another doctor appointment on December 23, 2009 and we heard the heartbeat!  That was a beautiful sound.  As of right now I am 12 weeks along and nearing the end of my first trimester.  I have quite a few symptoms including the nausea and sleepiness.   I've been constantly reading up on pregnancy and all the changes that will happen over the course of the pregnancy.  Here is a picture of me today, I am 12 weeks pregnant. 

 

Also,  a few weeks ago, Charlie and I moved out of our room and moved into our big loft room. Our old room is now going to be the baby's room.  We painted the room a nice neautral color since the baby's gender will be a surprise to us!  We decided to do all this early because it was winter break and I'm still early enough on in the pregnancy to help out.
