1 more week!

Today, I am 13 weeks pregnant!! I can't believe it! Next week, I will officially be in the second trimester.....that will make me so happy!!! I am starting to feel better. I still get nauseated from time to time, but I am starting to eat again. I miss food....how sad am I?? The only thing that isn't getting better....pure exhaustion!! I have it everyday. I am not sleeping well because I am a belly sleeper and obviously, I am not sleeping on my belly. Extra pillows help for a period of time, but not all night long. If I am having trouble at 13 weeks, I can only imagine how things are going to be at 32 weeks. I just need to suck it up.


Anyway, today, I had a doctor's appointment. John met me at Jasper. My blood pressure 115/70. I gained a total of 1 pound the last month....very happy with that! Anyway, I got another ultrasound today. My 5th from this pregnancy alone. Dr. Beckman wanted to check to see placenta placement and the fluid behind my uterus. My little peanut was so active. It was just bouncing around like crazy. Baby's heart rate was 154. My placenta is high and anterior.....exactly where we wanted....high and away from my cervix. The fluid is still there. Dr. Beckman said that baby looks good and developing normally so there really isn't anything to worry about. My chances of miscarriage drop to very low odds after week 14....just one more week!!!


So, my next appointment is May 14th. That is if no spotting occurs. However, with me, things are always up in the air. Dr. Beckman told me that he wants a very boring 4 weeks with me.....I have to agree with him. Boring is better!!!
