12 weeks 2 days!

Today was my 2nd OB appointment. They were able to doppler the baby's heartbeat for the first time, 160 beats per minute and baby was moving all over the place! Ayden loved listening to the heartbeat! My blood pressure was 120/60 and I lost 1.5 pounds, thanks to first trimester nausea! I am still sick everyday, between 5-7 am being the worst whether I am at work or home in bed. At work, I eat a small snack every 2 hours and that helps. At home, I keep saltine crackers on my bedside table and they work great for settling my stomach in those early morning hours. Luckily I am not vomiting, just nauseated. I have been having some intense cravings for everything from eggrolls to oranges and I have started loving milk! I drink 3-4 glasses everyday but before pregnancy I was never a regular milk drinker. It's amazing how the body craves what is good for the baby (except for the eggrolls I guess, lol). My next appointment is in 4 weeks and I also scheduled my ultrasound for April 29th to check the baby's development and of course GENDER! Only 6 more weeks until we can start calling the baby by his or her name! Continue to keep us in your prayers!
