2nd Trimester baby!

The second trimester is finally here and at 16 weeks I am feeling a little bit of relief which is pretty amazing! I'll start with my 12 week apt. I got some blood work results back and it showed that my iron is very low but everything else looked great. So I just get to add being super tired to the list ;) Like I'm not already fatigued with two kids, a dog and husband! HA! Like I had assumed, he was unable to pick up the heart beat with the doppler so I had to have another ultrasound to make sure everything was still going well. Due to my mulitple C-sections the scar tissue is hard to get through making it more difficult to find an early heartbeat. It was so nice to see our little Jelly bean on the screen and Cameron was with me at that apt. so he thought it was very very cool too! Heartbeat looked great, and baby E looked prefect! Here is a picture of our 12 week old Jelly belly :)

After I saw our little cutie I had to break the news to my Dr. that we will be moving mid pregnancy. He was very sad for me and hated that I was going to have to switch during my "Sugar testing" time. I was very upset when we found out that we were moving so soon because of how much I like Dr. V. He was terrific with Gracie and has just kept me so calm through out this pregnancy as well. I have recomended him to fellow preggo mommies I know, and one girl listened and absolutely loves him!

I had a 16 week check up today and got to hear that fast, sweet little heart beat for the very first time! Started the day off first with Speech therapy for Cameron, and he was so good for Mrs. Rachel. Right after his class we had to go straight to my apt. I was very nervous to go since it was my first time with both kids by myself. They both were good but it was really difficult getting them around the tight space and through the doors with the stroller. I'm just thankful Cameron will be starting school soon and it will get a little easier to get around. Like I already said, I was finally able to hear our babies heart beat and Dr. V said it was fast like a GIRL! He was right with our Gracie so we will see if he goes 2-0 soon enough. Of course, we don't care either way because there are plus sides to either gender! We just feel so blessed either way. I haven't felt any movement yet and look forward to that moment! I've had a couple maybeees but I'm not counting those yet! Here is the first belly picture I have been brave enough to take! HA, my belly seems to have pop'd pretty quickly with this one, guess that's what happens when you have had two c-sections in as short of time as I've had them! But so far I have only gained 2 lbs total, hopefully the weight gain stays low but healthy! I'm pretty confident that it should considering I gained 30 lbs with Camo, and only 14 with Gracie.
