Pregnancy Update

There is new pregancy news. I had my first offical appointment (besides the nurses assessment) with the Dr. She went over weight gain, checked the babies heart rate, and i got my blood work done, just the standard stuff, no genetic testing,etc. Everything went well. My blood pressure was 122/82 which is just a little higher than were I started with Noah, not much. My weight gain should be about 20 lbs with this one. I gained 28 lbs with Noah, but I was a few lbs lighter to start with, haha. I have only gained 3lbs so far. The baby's HR was 140 (i think), the doctor said that is a good HR. She also confirmed that there was only ONE baby in there, phew! I am officially out of the first trimester! Thank goodness, I was so sick and tierd of being sick and tierd (although I was not really sick, just felt yuck in the mornings and evenings).

So here goes the second trimester! I already feel better and have more energy, but my pants are getting tight. So I went out and bought 3 Bella Bands! I got a major deal, the store I bought them from was going out of business so everything was 50% off! I was originally only going to get one to see if I liked them, but hey with prices like that i decided to go with three colors, black, brown and white. That should get me through!
One a side note I love the Bella Bands, I can now where all my pants just un buttoned:) They look good too. I will post a pic later.
