Second Trimester

Today I am 14 weeks pregnant. I have officially enter my second trimester. I had a OBGYN appointment scheduled for today but had to reschedule for next week due to a very sick little boy. So far, this pregnancy hasn't been much different from Garrett's. The nausea/vomiting is getting better with each passing week. I still throw up first thing EVERY morning. I did that the whole nine months during Garrett's pregnancy so I think I can handle it.

I'd have to say my favorite thing about this pregnancy so far is being able to hear the baby's heartbeat whenever I want. Jamie purchased a fetal Doppler during her pregnancy with Hayden and graciously allowed me borrow it. I'm obsessed with it! It's so comforting and reassuring to be able to turn it on and listen to that sweet, sweet sound. Thanks again Jamie!

As of week 14, the baby is now about 3.5 inches long and weighs about 1.5 ounces. My belly is definitely pooching out much quicker this time around. My abdominal muscles just aren't as tight after giving birth to Garrett. Yeah...it's all his fault. It had nothing to do with the FORTY POUNDS I packed on during that pregnancy.

Please continue to keep our family in your prayers.

One trimester down, two to go!
