Well we have started the second trimester! Here is my end of the first picture (13 weeks along):

My stomach is pooching and swollen, but other than that I think I look alright :-). I went to the doctor on Friday and heard the heartbeat (150-160bpm). I gained 3 lbs. Ugh. Not looking forward to the weight gain. Dr. Nolan also told me I could take Pepcid to help with my stomach since I always feel worse after I eat than before. It has helped, but I'm not a big fan of taking medicine while I'm pregnant. When I was pregnant with Kaitlyn, I fought going to the doctor for my sinus infection b/c I knew I would have to take antibiotics. I just don't like it and get protective of my body while pregnant.

We've been working on picking names. We want to use names from my side of the family. I want to use my Grandpa's middle name in a boy's name and use my middle name if it's a girl. I think we are getting close to having names but no announcement yet. Stay tuned.

Anyway, besides staying out of the awful heat, not much going on pregnancy wise. We will have our ultrasound September 3rd. We are excited to know who is in there, and to see if Kaitlyns prayers for a sister worked or not :-).

  1. Looking good mama! :)

    I don't like taking medicine while pregnant either, but I just put faith in the fact that they wouldn't give me something that will harm the baby. :)
