Been Gone

I've been really bad about updating this. I've had a few things happen since my last post. My father in law came and stayed with us for about 2 weeks, this was my main distraction from not posting anything. Another thing, I've been pretty distracted with CafeMom which is a great website just to communicate with other women that are either trying to get pregnant, already are pregnant, or are hard working mothers.

Last Monday, August 4th was my second prenatal appointment. My father in law joined James and me as we all heard the baby's heartbeat for the very first time. I was a little anxious at first because it took the midwife a while to find it, and she calmly told me that if she couldn't, she would just do an ultrasound. Well, all way to the left of my pelvis, the baby's heartbeat was heard. It was at 170 bpm, and I was so excited! The appointment went fine, and overall, there doesn't seem to be any sort of complications. I have only gained one pound since my last visit, but recently weighed myself and found that I've lost 3. I blame my nausea mainly for this. I can't eat anything, so I don't really gain weight. Either way, I know that the baby is healthy and I'm just doing the best I can to keep my own body healthy.

Tomorrow I plan on taking a belly picture, even though I know that I'm not showing, it's just for a reference in the future to see how far I've come.
