The Beat of a Heart...

The sound of a baby's beating heart it amazing. It is so fast and such a relieving feeling. Joe and I went to the doctor and she says everything is going great and we got to hear the heart beat. It took her a few seconds to find the heart beat, which of course started to make me nervous. I was waiting patiently...sort of. The doctor said it was because the baby was moving around. Once she found it, it sounded amazing.
I haven't felt the baby move yet, it could take awhile. The fact that the baby is 3 and half inches and 1.5 oz. (the size of a lemon) is amazing. It has grown so much! My belly is also getting bigger. I really have a baby bump now, it doesn't look like I am bloated, it actually looks like I'm having a baby. Joey says that my belly feels like memory foam, it is pretty firm but still squishes. I am pretty proud though, all of my jeans still fit and button! It won't be long though...the jeans that aren't low rise probably won't fit this week.
I am really starting to feel better, today is a week since I last got sick! Yeah! That is the longest I have gone so far. I have had a little more energy these last two days. Today I am feeling a little more exhausted but I had a 6 day work week so that is to be expected. I am very glad to be in the second trimester though so we will see what it brings!
