I can definitely tell I’ve reached the 2nd trimester! I’m feeling SO much better. I have almost no morning sickness, I have a LOT more energy, and I’m feeling very good. Some days I almost forget I’m pregnant!
Today I had my 16-Week visit to the OBGYN. It was SO great getting to hear the babies heart beat! I was freaked out for a few minutes because my Doctor had a bit of trouble finding the heartbeat. With my Son it seamed the heartbeat was there as soon as the Doppler hit my tummy, but this time it took about 10 minutes! My Doctor was getting concerned and was about to do an ultrasound to check things out, the BOOM we were both able to hear it! It was such a good feeling, especially after the suspense!
For the most part things are looking good, although I’m not gaining weight. With my Son I’d gained 5lbs by now, and this time around nothing! I think I need to stop comparing pregnancies, because these two are SO different! My Doctor explained that although she is not happy with my lack of weight gain, she will not be too concerned unless I don’t gain in the coming weeks. I never thought I’d be told by my Doctor that I needed to gain more weight!
Now I’m just counting down the days until July 6th, when I get a level ii anatomy scan and hopefully get to peak at gender!

You LOOK like you’ve gained weight!
Given that I’ve actually watched you get weighed at the hospital, I KNOW you haven’t, but it still looks like you have.
I love you… growing
all of you… growing
do you feel my love for you growing to match?
