14 Weeks!

Oh second trimester, how I love thee!!  Yep, finally here in the second tri, by week 28 I'll be in the homestretch third tri.   Symptoms?  Not so much nausea these days, but there are still bouts every now and again.  And the fatigue hasn't really let up yet.  I sleep most days, I'm like a sloth mom.   I'm starting to get horrible migraines.  I had one last week that lasted two days in a row that kept me from working.

We had another appointment with the midwives.  We got to hear the heartbeat again!  So exciting!! It was around 160 bpm I believe.  Well.. about the heartbeat.. the nurse thought she heard... TWO!  It might have just been an echo though, we aren't sure.  It wasn't my heart beat, because my heartrate doesn't beat that fast (unless I'm on a stairmaster chugging a red bull on energy pills).   So... we'll have to see!  I have my ultrasound scheduled on September 6th, and then hopefully that Saturday following we'll have our gender party, where we will find out what we are having.  I'm still thinking pink, but honestly, ok with just a healthy baby, and boys are just so much fun!

Speaking of boys.. my son is WALKING!  He just started last week, just out of the blue.  Here's a video:



Here's a video on the development of our next little one (ones!):
