Second Trimester

I finally entered my second trimester. Not only have I reached a new milestone in my pregnancy, I feel so much better! My energy is coming back slowly each day. I am also working out more and running around a lot more lately. Recently, we started to get things ready for the baby. Over the weekend, we went with Aunt Tonya to Babies R US and got started on our baby registry. Today, we got our carpets and tile cleaned before we start to turn the guest bedroom into a nursery. I am definitely starting to realize time is flying by so I am trying to stay on top of things that need to be done before Baby H arrives.

Pregnancy Update

Many of you have been asking me how I have been feeling lately and I thought I would do a quick update. These past couple of weeks I have been so fatigued and a little nauseated at times. I think it has a little to do with the wonderful Florida heat we are experiencing right now and the rest is just normal first trimester symptoms. I am still working out, but not as much or as heavy as I was doing pre-pregnancy. Many of you have been telling me it will pass soon because I am almost at the end of my first trimester and I sure hope it does, but I know if it does not it will be all worth it in the end. :)

Doctors Appointment

We had our second doctors appointment this afternoon. Everything went really well. I got some more optional blood work done and I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time using the heart monitor. The heartbeat was great at 168 bpm. We go back in September for another check-up and then I can schedule another sonogram to find out the sex of the baby!

First Sonogram

Our first sonogram was Monday July 13th at 7 weeks and 2 days. We were so excited to see our baby "sweet pea" for the first time and even more excited that everything looked and sounded great. Our next doctors appointment is next Thursday for more blood work and I am definitely going to schedule another sonogram because I am dying to see how much the baby has grown.
