weighing in...

Yesterday was my second doctor's appointment. I really wasn't looking forward to it because I knew all it would be was a quick check up. My appointment was at 10:15, but I didn't get called back until almost 11! They should really know not to make pregnant women wait. I was getting hungry and slightly annoyed. As soon as I got to the room, the nurse checked my blood pressure and pulled out the Doppler to check the baby's heartbeat. She tried for almost 5 minutes and couldn't get it. I wasn't worried. I was excited. I knew this meant I got to have another ultrasound! My next ultrasound wasn't going to be until July, but they needed that heartbeat. It was amazing...better than the first time I think. The first ultrasound was great, but Baby Harris looked like a jelly bean. Now, Baby Harris looks much more like a baby!

The first ultrasound at 7 weeks.

The second ultrasound at 11 weeks.

Isn't it insane the amount of change and growth that happens in 4 weeks?! It went from a blob to a baby in no time! I really like this picture. That's his (or her) little hand coming up by the face. I like to think he's waving at me. :)

Well, the point of this post was to talk about my baby, but also to tell you the other exciting news I got yesterday. I haven't gained any weight! That might sound terrible, but you aren't supposed to gain any weight in your first trimester. I try not to pig out completely, but I don't really hold back either. I just knew I had gained and was going to get a talking to from my doctor. It will all probably catch up with me in the second trimester though. My pants already don't fit anymore. Is it worth gaining weight and feeling chubby for a while? Absolutely!

After my doctor's appointment, my mom and I went out for lunch and did a little shopping. I found some very fun vintage that I'll share later!
