18 Weeks

Believe it or not, I'm already 18 weeks along. Today I had an appointment and I'm always thrilled to hear that little miracle heartbeat. We scheduled my ultrasound for January 14th. So the countdown begins to when we find out if it's a boy or a girl. Of course, we are counting on baby to cooperate and let us see what gender we are having. So far my nephew Andrew has his vote in for a boy. He has two sisters and would like another boy in the family. I guess we'll see.
Our Christmas was great. We did a lot of traveling in order to see our families. It always seems to go by so fast especially since I work retail and don't get many days off during the holiday season. I'll be posting some photos as soon as I get them developed. My belly has really started popping out there now for all to see. I love being pregnant!!!

Update

Last monday, we went for our 14 wk check-up. Everthing is going great. Baby's heartbeat was around 150. I thought I'd include a picture that Tom took of me at 13.5 wks. Instead of looking like I ate too much for dinner, I'm actually beginning to look pregnant now.

Thanksgiving

This year Tom and I along with my parents headed down to Illinois to have Thanksgiving with Tom's parents and sister. We had a great time being all together and the meal was fabulous, of course. Since I work in retail, I had to work the day after Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I didn't have to be into work until 1pm on Friday, but I was pretty sore today after being on my feet and running around getting shoes for 9 hours.
We are almost 13 weeks already. I'm still getting sick to my stomach throughout the day but some days seem to be better than others. I thought things were going to calm down with the good days I had around Thanksgiving....but I'm afraid the sickness is still here. Hopefully, I only have a couple weeks left of being sick. :) Everything seems to be going well and my next appointment is December 3rd.
