The Heartbeat!

I'm now 13 weeks along.. I think I'm starting to feel better and I seem to have a little more energy (haven't found myself asleep by 8:30 too recently). I thought I was over feeling nauseous because I've felt pretty good the last few days. I've even gotten hungry instead of just feeling like if I don't eat I'm going to be sick. But then I was feeling a little sick today. So, I guess I'm not completely past this first trimester burden, but I feel like I'm definitely making progress!

I'm starting to get a baby bumb! Crazy, I know! Its really little, but its definitely a bump. Maybe I'll get a picture this weekend to share. For now you just have to believe me :).

We went to the doctor today. I'd gained 1lb since my last visit which was 4 weeks ago. From what I remember reading, that's actually what the weight gain is supposed to be in a month at this point - so not too bad. At the appointment, we just went through the results from the blood work that they did last time. All was good news :). Then we got to hear the little racing heartbeat!!! It took her a minute to find it with the doppler thing. She had warned us that sometimes it takes a sec when the baby is still this small. Even so, the 20 seconds or whatever it took to find the heartbeat was pretty nerve racking. I don't know how much of my nerves was the fear of there not being a heartbeat and how much I was just super excited to hear it. Anyway, she found it and she said it was beating at the right rate. Its crazy how fast that thing beats. It was 150 something a minute... I think.. unfortunately I can't remember exactly. Afterwards, Dylan and I were eating lunch and he was telling me how when he heard it, he couldn't help but to just smile :)
