Baby Update

So I'm now in my 2nd trimester. I always thought that started when you hit your 13th week, but for some reason everything I'm reading tells me it's once you get to the 14th week. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon and everything looks good. Hearing that little heartbeat is such a great thing! When you can't feel the baby moving yet it's such a reassuring sound. I've gained 5 pounds in a month.....it has begun! I am so excited about being pregnant again and getting to experience all the cool things that go along with it - BUT the weight gain and swollen ankles are 2 things I am not welcoming back!

I made our ultrasound appointment - set right now for Jan 18th. We were really hoping to have it before we head to S. Dakota for Christmas, but it would just be too early. We'd only be 16 weeks, so waiting until January will help make sure we get all the right information.... measurements, boy or girl, that kind of thing. Something to look forward to after the holidays. Can't wait!

I was hoping your ankles would be swollen for Christmas. Allowing me to push on them with my finger would have been an excellent Christmas present.
