2nd Trimester

According to my doctor I am 12 weeks pregnant which means tomorrow is the first day of my second trimester! I had my 12 week appointment today and they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat which was quite the scare for me so they sent me down to ultrasound and they were able to find the baby which was sucking its thumb and wiggling its head and toes. The heart rate dropped from the ER visit at the ER visit it was 166 but today is was 156! It's so amazing to see it move around its definitely something I thought I'd never see! I am so happy about this baby and I already love it so much! I have had quite a bit of morning sickness and throwing up, my lower back and hips ache a lot! The breast tenderness isn't bad at all now which is a nice change! The newest development of my body is I have had terrible stretching and pulling in my belly and some serious constipation. The doctor has given me some ideas to help with the constipation! He says the pain and stretching is from my ligaments being pulled from the weight of my uterus. Things are looking really good which makes me very happy! I will upload a picture of the baby sucking it's thumb in a little bit. Also I find out what the baby is on December 19th which I am very excited for! Scott thinks its a girl and I'm saying its a boy so we have a fun little bet going! I guess we will find out in a little over 2 weeks!!
