(I apologize for the unorganized-ness random thought-ness of this post)
We had our second Prenatal on Wednesday! Our precious Baby is still growing away! I'm starting to feel very pregnant. At our first visit I weighed 128 pounds and I was 9 weeks, at this visit at 13 weeks I weighed 131.6. I got nervous about the weight gain because I don't want to get too terrible huge and I want to keep the weight gain around 30 pounds and I was thinking the whole time "I'm gonna get so huge...I've already gained 3 pounds!". But then we saw Thalia and she was glad I had gained the 3 pounds, and then after our appointment I remembered my boobs are huge and I need a new bra for real now, so then I started to breathe. And I'm getting a bump, a noticeable bump to where Jose and people I work with are telling me I am so pregnant! I love it because I can't wait to waddle because of my big
ol' belly! We heard the heartbeat again (of course) and it's beating at a beautiful 152
bpm! I am in love with that sound. I will listen to it over and over again. Thalia gave us this rubber replica of our baby at their gestational age, it's slightly creepy but I love it. I think I felt the baby move like 2 weeks ago I could be crazy but Thalia said it very well could have been the baby, it felt like something slid down where he baby is it was the weirdest feeling, but I loved it. I thought I was going crazy when I felt it. Who knows!
We have our next appointment set up for May 11th, 2 days before Jose finally graduates from PTA school! He's got 2 job offers right now one in a Home Health Setting and one working with kids at a Pediatric Clinic. Luckily we're going to the Temple tomorrow for our friends Adam Ault and Shamberly Sanders Wedding/Sealing. The Temple has all the answers. After the next appointment instead of going 4 weeks we might go 3 weeks and have the appointment at 20 weeks to get a ultrasound referral sign up thing.
We've decided Mexican-type food is a bad idea. I'm sick right after I eat it and then really sick the next morning, so it will be out of the question until after the baby comes. I can't stand the sight, smell or thought of Chinese food, it makes me gag. Which is really sad because I loved it before I got pregnant. But it's ok it will force/help me to eat healthy for me and the baby. I love fruits and veggies and crave veggie pitas with ceasar dressing from McAllisters like crazy! They are delicious but even more delicious now.
I am feeling very pregnant especially at night after I've gotten done eating and all that good stuff, because I get HUGE! or at least I feel that way!
This week one of our friend's from church who was due the week after us found out their baby didn't make it. It made me really sad to hear that because I was really looking forward to having someone with a due date really close to ours to be pregnant with. It made me even more grateful for my morning sickness and the reassurance I've gotten everyday so far that my hormones are good and everything is going "textbook", and for our baby. It would have been their first child together, her third, his first. Everything happens for one reason or another and even though I have no idea even how that would feel to lose a child that way, but my heart goes out to them.
