2nd trimester is here!

I know I have not posted in a while, but not much has changed. So I am not sure what to say? When the whole process started there was always something to update. I was thinking about a picture, but my iphoto is messed up. Plus I am not sure if I am ready for that or not? Hehehehe :) This is week 14. That is hard to believe sometimes. I want to enjoy every moment, but it is very nerve wracking to me as well. I am trying to relax and enjoy it, but I am VERY aware of everything going on in my body. I wonder what everything is. Is that a cramp? just gas, maybe bloated, am I getting big too fast? Whew! My mind is exhausting. A big concern the last few days has been how I sleep. Is it OK to sleep on your back? Do you need to alternate sides? etc... I have heard until 16 weeks your back is fine, but reading the Internet can just make you go crazier! I go to the doctor next week so that will be on my list of questions.
I am sure this is somewhat normal for all first time moms, but after everything we have been through it is still hard for me to believe at times that we are pregnant. I have been lucky and blessed to not have been sick or nauseated. So when you do not feel pregnant or look pregnant you just hope that everything is doing what it is suppose to and that the baby is growing healthy and strong. I really wish I could go to the doctor every week!! I mean that is what I am use to at the fertility doctor. I was there all the time and getting updated on every little thing. Now I go every 4 weeks! that seems like forever!
We are so excited to be in our second trimester and look forward to the weeks to come. Especially next month when we find out the sex!! We cannot wait to see what this little person is going to be! I will keep you posted and maybe a picture too!!

Bye Bye Progesterone and 1st Trimester...

Yes, you read that correctly...no more shots!!!! I took my last one this week. That is something that I will not miss. I was glad to see them go! and Bye to my first trimester too! That will happen in just a few short days. I had my first appointment with Dr. Macey yesterday. All went well. I did not have an ultra sound though. I was a little disappointed about that-I was hoping to see the little booger again and how much had changed. He said that he already had all he information sent over from NFC so he didn't need to do one. He basically just checked me out and got me set up with things (payment for appointments and delivery). It seemed crazy to be discussing delivery already, but I do realize it will be here fast. He did listen to the heart beat and when he was listening to it, he kept moving the Doppler around on my stomach. Then he looked up at me and he said "are you sure there is only one in there?" I just laughed and said "what, yes...well, that is what they tell me". He didn't really say much more, but I thought that was funny. The heart beat was 165. Still a high number. He is also said I was 11 weeks and 3 days yesterday and that everything looked well. I do not go back until October 28th, then again on November 23rd. Our November visit will be when we find out the sex!! How exciting!!! Yes we are finding out the sex and Yes we will let you all know!! I am so glad my first trimester is coming to an end, but in some ways it is hard to believe. It has not been bad but I think my nerves will feel better knowing that we have made it this far. It is still like a dream to me at times that this is truly happening to us. :)  Oh yes, I have a bump! It has popped out this last week. That is kind of funny too! I think I might, might post a belly shot at 12 weeks, if I am not to self conscious hehehehe....
