2nd DA

Sorry this is so late. I had my second doctors appointment a week (or two) ago. It didn't last long, but basically all is well. My blood pressure is fine and the doctor finally found the baby's heartbeat (after a long time of searching). I think this baby likes to move around a lot, so that is why she had a hard time. She said that the heart is so small that it's common to not be able to find it right away. The only other thing to report is that I lost another pound, so that brings my weight gain (or should I say loss) to -3 lbs. I'm sure I'll gain in back soon though. The midwife wasn't worried.

Well, I hit 15 weeks today so the baby is the size of an apple/small orange or so they say. I definitely feel a bit better now. My appetite is finally back and a baby belly is starting to emerge. I can't find my camera right now, but once I do I will post a belly pic. The walks are definitely helping me get my energy back! My friend and I started walking only 3 miles instead of 4 and we take more breaks. While the weather is getting better and the breeze is nice, we still need to take at least one break. I get dizzy a lot more now, so it helps.

The next doctor's appointment is in mid October. In 5 more weeks, we get to find out the sex of the baby so hopefully then we can schedule the big ultrasound then! I can't wait.

Until next time,
