OB Visit

On Thursday October 16th I had an OB appointment where I was weight, given a PAP smear, a breast exam, and was told the results of my blood work were all clear. However the best part of the exam was getting to hear my baby's heart beat for the first time. Using a doppler machine we got to hear it's little heart racing away. My doctor told me that it was beating strong and fast all indications of a very healthy baby. My next appointment is in 4 weeks and my next ultrasound in about 9 weeks where we should be able to find out the baby's sex! 

Now in my 13th week (since my due date has been moved up to April 24th) of pregnancy this will be my last week in the first trimester. I can't believe how fast all of this is going by! Things I look forward to in the second trimester are: having more energy, aka not having to go to bed at 8 p.m.!! Getting rid of what nausea I do have left (hopefully this one happens for me!), being able to feel my uterus grow, and beginning to show a bit more of a round belly rather than what seems to resemble the reminiscence of a large lunch, lol.
