Not much to report right now. We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday this week - just a check-in. No sonogram this time, but they did have a hand-held ultrasound to find the baby's heartbeat, which we're told is at a rate of 155bpm, which is good and healthy! I told the doctor I feel great and it's unnerving not really feeling pregnant yet. Apparently, I'm starting to show quite a bit, but the only way I really feel it is in the way my clothes fit. I've moved into some maternity clothes that are much more comfortable. The doctor told me I'm in the most comfortable phase of pregnancy - the 2nd trimester - where you don't really feel sick like the 1st trimester (which I was lucky enough to not experience), and feeling uncomfortable because of size in the 3rd trimester. I will enjoy it while it lasts!
The next thing we have to look forward to is feeling the baby's movement. I haven't noticed it yet. I guess there is still enough room in there for me to not notice the summersaults the baby's already been doing! I'm told it's around week 20 that you start to feel it. I'm scared and curious all at once!
We'll have a special ultrasound done on May 28th. That's when we'll get the sex of the baby (but not told!) so we can have our reveal cake made for a BBQ Reveal Party we're planning for June 9th, so stay tuned! We'll have another series of ultrasound pictures to share after that appointment. I'll be sure to post them as soon as I can!
We've been out stroller shopping... I think we've narrowed it down to a decision finally! After we learn the sex of the baby, we can start registering! It's getting very exciting!
Love to All...
