15 Week Bumpdate

15 weeks! I am happy to have reached this milestone already! This means 25 weeks to go, 1 week until another check-up, and 4 weeks until my anatomy scan!

• How many weeks are you? 15 weeks

• How are you feeling? I have been fighting off a nasty cold for almost 2 weeks now. Pregnancy-wise I am feeling pretty good. I don't feel as tired anymore, but walking for long distances definitely wears me out. I need to get back into a walking schedule. I am still feeling little flutters and kicks, but they have certainly not become consistent yet. I have been feeling more emotional lately and I don't remember that with Maggie's pregnancy. I have started to feel Braxton Hick's again (starting around 14w) and I usually feel a couple everyday. Also, sometimes when I stand/walk I feel like my belly/uterus is heavy or really full.

• What are you looking forward to? I am looking forward to Thanksgiving in a couple of days! Excited to spend time with family and friends.

13 Week Bumpdate

Wow it has been way too long since I have updated! I can't believe I am in the 2nd trimester already. This pregnancy has flown!

After waiting 4 weeks after my first ultrasound I had a 12 week check-up last week. My blood pressure and weight both looked good (I only gained 1 pound). My doctor said the blood work that was taken at my ultrasound all came back normal. I was given a pap smear and a breast exam. Then came the fin part; the doppler! After about 10 seconds, she found the heart beating at 164bpm. I was so excited the hear it again. We scheduled another check-up for the end of November and I was even able to schedule our anatomy scan on December 21st!

• How many weeks are you? 13 weeks / 1 day

• How are you feeling? I cannot believe how lucky I am this pregnancy. The only symptoms I have had within the past few weeks are sore boobs and randoms times of tiredness. Other than that my belly has been growing, but I wouldn't consider it a cute bump just yet. I *think* I have been feeling the baby move, but I can't be sure yet.

• What are you looking forward to? I am looking forward to feeling definite movement. I am also very excited for our anatomy scan which is 6 weeks away :-)
