At 13 weeks 3 days, I'm officially in the second trimester!!! Let's party! Supposedly, I should be starting to feel much better and sleeping amazingly. It's true that I'm starting to feel better, but sleeping is getting harder. The whole limbs-falling-asleep-within-minutes thing puts a damper on that.
I had an appointment this morning. I was nervous about this one because I knew I wouldn't be having an ultrasound. The doctor found the heartbeat on the Doppler, but it took what felt like forever and I thought for sure there wasn't a heartbeat. We finally heard it, though, and it's the most amazing sound ever! I just wish we could have listened to it longer. The doctor said the heartbeat is nice and strong. Grow, baby, grow!
I was terrified during that awful time when the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat, and even though I now know everything is fine, I still have that fear. My own heartbeat has finally calmed down a bit, but it's taken me the better part of the morning to get over the physical manifestations of that stress. I hope I'll be able to concentrate on my non-baby-incubating duties.
My next appointment will be in three weeks, and then two weeks after that at 18 weeks, we should be able to find out the gender. Even though it's normal for people to go every four weeks, I'm excited I don't have to wait quite that long between these next two appointments. That goes a long way in easing my anxieties.
