Second trimester here I come! I’m 12 weeks pregnant now and hope that my nausea decreases in the coming weeks and my energy increases. The first trimester was not easy, but I know it could have been a LOT worse (although Phil might disagree)! Our prayers were answered last Friday as we had a successful doctor appointment where Phil, Rock and I, all got to hear the baby’s heartbeat (it was Rock’s first time!). The heartbeat was 165 bpm. Rock seemed to enjoy the doctor’s office because he got to run around with a baby doll (which he loved) and play on the doctor table with mommy (he liked climbing on the step at the bottom of the table). Who knows…maybe we’ll have a future doctor on our hands! (The photo was too cute not to post.)
We also had a safe, but very long, drive to Wyoming to spend Easter weekend with my dad’s family. Poor Rock did not enjoy the car ride, but we all enjoyed ourselves once we arrived. We were able to spend the entire weekend with LOTS of family and got to see great friends too. Plus it was fun to see Saratoga again and explore the town because we haven’t been there in a few years. We got to announce my pregnancy to family Friday night too. Everyone was excited…but not surprised. Evidently my round tummy was a dead giveaway hours before we told everyone!
I also told my work and family and friends early this week, which has been SO fun! I was thankful and overjoyed at all of my coworkers’ responses and even more overjoyed by our friends and family members’ responses! Everyone is so excited and I even know a few friends who are due right around me, so it will be really fun to share this experience with them!
Our newest addition is the size of a plum already and is nearly done with all of the critical development of organs, etc. The second trimester will be mainly “growth and maturation.”
