14 Weeks

I am 14 weeks today!
We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time on Wednesday. It was so awesome. Strong heartbeat at 160 per minute. There are many old wives tales and studies that make this fun: "if the baby's heart rate is 140 bpm or above, it is a girl. Below 140 bpm, it is a boy." Chinese Gender Chart says: It's a boy! (Chinese Age 28 at Lunar month 9) Old Wives Tales: You have a 43% chance of having a boy. And you have a 56% chance of having a girl. * My feet are colder now than before pregnancy, so it will be a BOY * My mom doesn't have gray hair, so it will be a GIRL * I had morning sickness, so it will be a GIRL * I'm not looking particularly good so it will be a GIRL (girl's steal a mother's looks) * I'm craving sweets as opposed to salty, so it will be a GIRL

11 Weeks & 3 Days

I am 11 weeks and 3 days so far. Almost to that 3 month mark. Woo hoo I have been feeling better lately, but really tired. Peanut has definitely taken a toll on me and my body. I feel like I am starting to show a little early. I think in reality it is just my fatty belly being pushed out by the baby bump. Somewhere under these layers is a baby! =)

It feels like it is hardening a "little" bit. It (my belly that is) feels different, that's all I know. I have a doctor appt on January 24th for us to hear the heartbeat. I can't wait for that. This last month has been a little traumatic. I have been sick, tired and most recently (yesterday) I had to have an emergency root canal. I feel a lot better now and hopefully I can get a full night of sleep tonight (something I haven't had in 3 days).
