We had our 12 week appointment today! Which really turned out to be a 13 week appointment because apparently tomorrow I am 13 weeks. The ultrasound tech told us wrong. So really, I have no idea when you are due! Could be October 14th, or October 21st, or somewhere around that vicinity! It's funny because I'm pretty sure if this happened with Trenton I would be really frustrated that I don't know the exact due date. But for some reason this time around I'm a little bit more non-chalant about it. You are coming sometime in October. That's good enough for now :) Besides, I'm sure at our next ultrasound they will give me a more accurate due date based on your measurements. We got to hear your heartbeat for the first time today though, and it was so great to finally hear that precious sound. It took the midwife a minute to find your heartbeat and not mine, and that is always so nerve wreaking to Daddy and I! But once we heard it, we both had a big sigh of relief and joy.
I finally told my coworkers this week as well. People have been speculating and asking if I was pregnant, so it was finally time to share the news. Of course, everyone was so excited for Trenton to be a big brother! And I always feel so much better when I don’t have to keep trying to find outfits to hide my growing belly :)
Lately I have also been feeling better; which is absolutely fantastic. I’m slowly getting more energy (some days at least) and I’m getting a handle on this nausea. I just have to make sure I eat fairly large snacks/meals every 2 hours….I’m so tired of eating….! We don’t get to find out if you are a boy or girl until next month, but I just can’t tell what I think you are yet! On one hand, I have to eat all the time, which makes me think you are a boy. But on the other hand, I can be a bit emotional! So it makes me think you are a girl. For example, on Sunday, I really wanted some Costco for lunch. But when we parked and as I was getting Trenton out, I realized I forgot my wallet with our Costco card! (Turns out you could in fact, go to the Food Court without your card. I just didn’t realize that). But my heart was so set on a chicken bake that I actually started crying! My eyes were watering as I was thinking of having to miss out of the awesomeness of Costco chicken bakes. It was ridiculous. Then I started laughing and apologizing to Daddy through my tears because I felt so outrageously emotional; completely unlike me. But the fantastic husband that your daddy is, drove us all the way back home just so I could get my card and finally have my chicken bake :)
This first trimester went by so much more slowly this time. I think it also had to do with the fact that we found out about you an entire month before we found out about Trenton! But now that we are starting our second trimester, I am hoping it'll go by with a breeze.
We are starting to talk to Trenton about you and about how there is a baby growing in Mommy's tummy, but he is still too young to really understand what I'm talking about. I'm sure he will be a great big brother though and love you to pieces! Until you get old enough to go after his toys of course :)
