Heartbeat!

I went to my 2nd OB appointment last week. Dr. says everything is going great. I actually got to hear the heartbeat for the first time too. It was so exciting! I love to hear it. I always get teary eyed when I hear it, especially for the first time. It's amazing to me! It makes it seem so REAL! There really is a tiny baby inside me! I'm not just getting fat! Yeah!
I also heard that after you hear the heartbeat there's only a 5% chance of miscarriage, so that's reassurring! I am so excited to have this baby. You'd think that after the first few babies it would all be the same, but it's not. I am so excited to meet this little baby that WE made! It's so precious to us. I know it will probably be the last, so I'm really trying to enjoy it ( here I am, crying). Definately pregnant! LOL
It's so much easier to enjoy when you don't feel like throwing up all day long! I have felt SO good this past week. I am so glad to be over the sick part! Crossing fingers! I have only been feeling yucky around 10pm, right before I go to bed, which I can't complain about! So much better than all afternoon! Now, I feel like I need to get back to my work-out routine a little bit more now that I know I can handle it without getting sick. Yeah! I told the Dr. I was worried about gaining too much weight. I've gained 8 lbs. Yikes! I've only ever gained 25 lbs. with each one though. So, I'm not too worried about it. She looked at my charts from Matthew & Emily. I am the same exact weight as I was with them, from month to month! I couldn't believe it. She said I looked great & my body must just like this same weight at pregnancy.
Now, if the weather would just warm up a bit I could actually stay outside for more than 2 minutes & go for a walk!
