2nd Trimester - Finally!

more belly pics

Today starts my second trimester. My nausea seems to have gone away almost completely and I feel much less tired. Here is my 13 week picture. not a heck of a lot of difference between it and the 11 week picture... when is this thing going to actually grow??!!?? Aaron came with me to my doctor's appointment last week and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It took the doc a few minutes to find it (which made me nervous), but she eventually found it way off to the side. Aaron said it sounds like a deep sea submarine in a war movie (it kinda made a "whoosh woosh woosh" sound). I forgot to ask what the heart rate was, but I'll ask at my next one. Other than that, the doc said that everything is looking really good and on schedule. My regular ultrasound is planned for when I'm 19 weeks and will be done at the hospital. The doc said that they won't tell me the sex of the baby at the hospital, but if I really want to know, I'll have to get it done on Scott Road (isn't is funny that they will tell you the sex on Scott Road...). Then she said that she really recommends that I go to the one at the hospital because they do a much better job of the ultrasound. I said that that is fine because I am planning on getting the 3D ultrasound done anyways in Langley. She said that the UC Baby place is very neat and they do a very good job there as well - just go after I'm 20 weeks and they will tell me if it's a boy or a girl, so that's the plan.
