14 Week Dr. Visit

Last Wednesday I had my 14 week check up. I didn't think ahead of time and a 3 pm appt meant Brenna had to come with me. She was very excited to go with me although at first she was concerned that she had hurt the baby. Sweet girl! When we got to the appt she was quiet then 30 minutes passes and she is all over the waiting room, testing all the boundaries she can. An hour later we finally get to see Dr. Montgomery and myself and the doctor couldn't get a word in. She talked the entire time. I'm 4 years old. I eat all my food and sleep in my bed like a big girl. Milk makes me cough and chocolate milk too! (It doesn't...not sure where she got that!!) Needless to say, the Mouth of the South will not be at any more doctor appointments!!! It would be different if I didn't have to wait an hour and half to see my dr but a 4 year old has to come up with her own diversions. It's only natural. So at 14 weeks-

1. We're now in the 2nd trimester. My morning sickness, which was few and far between is still few and far between. A new sickness set in Saturday and hopefully Pepto will solve that today.

2. I gained 5 pounds in my 1st trimester. I really have tried not being a garbage disposal. Still haven't kicked the soda habit but have definitely cut it down dramatically. And I still have bad food at times like pizza.

3. Saw the baby's heartbeat. Dr. said its normal and strong. Can't tell me the beats per minute. I am really struggling with not being as technologically advanced as my last dr but bedside manner really is more important to me.

The next appointment is April 14th and that's our big ultrasound. If the little marshmallow cooperates we'll be able to tell you if we are expecting a Mr. Jackson Benjamin or Miss. Kinley Sloane. :) I'm excited about it. Not worried because I really don't care if its a boy or girl- just want to know that development is going well. Well- and after we move and know where we will be---DECORATING will be so much fun!! :)
