14 Weeks & 1 Day

Helllllllllo, second trimester! I was never *super* nauseous, so the fact that that's supposed to slow down this trimester isn't too big of a deal for me. (But, absolutely no complaints in that category!) I've been getting MEGA headaches though and that's no fun. I've tried Tylenol (like the only medicine I can take while pregnant!) and lying down, but neither really help. I guess I'll just have to ride it out! 

Soooo, big news! I switched doctors and went to my first appointment last week at the new one. I absolutely LOVE my new docs! I see 6 midwives throughout my pregnancy and any one of them could deliver the baby. They are the sweetest and totally care about me/my baby/my pregnancy. Huge difference from my old doc who couldn't even get my name right in their system! 

At my appointment, the midwife used the Doppler to look for a heartbeat, but couldn't find one. I was super worried, but she said it was normal for 13 weeks. But, she wanted me to have an ultrasound (yay!) for measurements and whatnot. While they were getting ready for that, I drank this crazy sugary drink to test for gestational diabetes and then we headed to the ultrasound room. Our little baby was moving around like crazy! Legs and arms were going and it had a strong heartbeat :) The ultrasound tech took some measurements of different parts of the baby and gave us pics of our little peanut :) Here's a shot of the screen...

How awesome is that? You can totally see the profile and everything! So cool! My next appointment is at the end of the month, so I'm extremely excited for that!
