2nd appointment - 12 weeks

We had our second appointment today, and even though it wasn't as productive...it was just as fulfilling. Dr. Somani came in and said that all my blood work came back negative and that I was a healthy mommy. Then she brought out the doppler to hear the heartbeat. So many people had told me, "don't get discouraged if she can't find the heartbeat right away, sometimes it takes a while." Well...she found it RIGHT AWAY! It was music to my ears being the last week of my first trimester! However, the best part was when we heard a little kick! It makes me smile even when I type this! That was pretty much the extent of the appointment. I also got a flu shot to keep those pesky germs away, especially since I'm going to be flying a lot in the next couple months for work.

So far I have been feeling wonderful! No morning sickness, and the exhaustion has started to wear off...however, I do have some days where I'm just not sure if I'm going to make it. At night my belly seems so big, especially after one of Moe's home cooked meals. I'll be sure to post a photo so you all can see it! I can't feel the baby moving just yet but my doctor said I may feel some flutters between now and my next appointment (March 6th).

Thank you all for the kind words, prayers, cards, and well wishes. Your support means so much to us and we can't wait for you all to meet our little one.

Love! Emily and Moe
