Second Trimester, Heartbeat and More!

So Monday started my second trimester (week 14)...1/3 of the way there! At the time of the doctor's appointment I was feeling a little better, BUT that didn't last long...was pretty sick by mid-week again. Hoping that good days will over take the bad ones.

At the visit we heard the baby's heartbeat...it was VERY fast and good...159 beats per minute! The baby did NOT like the doplar being rolled around it either because it kept moving to try and get away from it. Our next visit is on August 3rd and we have a big ultra sound then...yes, we're finding out what the little one will be and I'm so excited!

Last week we also got a contract on our house, so the house hunt began for us and we have a contract in on a house as well. Both contracts have contingencies until July 3rd, so until that date we don't know anything for sure, but feel pretty good about everything. We'll close on the 23rd of July on our house and then a little later the next week on the new purchase. The home is in the same neighborhood, just a few blocks north of where we are now. Let the fun begin...pregnant and trying to put a new house together...FUN TIMES!

Next week our friend Doug comes to visit AND it's our 1 year anniversary! I can't believe it's already here...more to come next week with fun events next week!

12 WEEKS!

So, yesterday was the start of my 12th week (no photos this time...I haven't changed much). Rumor has it that things may start to get better soon, but after this past weekend I'm not so sure...I really didn't know someone could be this sick!

I was thinking today about the thing I miss the most...Diet Coke...I used to love that stuff! I think it will be the first thing I ask for after the little one comes. Along with missing Diet Coke, I don't like much of anything...no more love for burgers and fries...hate ice cream at this point...like I said, there's not really much that I do like right now, AND if I do, it's not for more than a few days (I hear this will get better soon). If anyone has any advice at all on this, PLEASE let me know.

Next doctor's appointment is on the 22nd...can't wait to see what they have to say!
