Hello Little Lemon

Well it's finally official. We've made it to the second trimester!! (yay!)

In general, I've felt pretty good so far and haven't had any issues with morning sickness. Just the occasional nausea, the desire to sleep at least 12 hours each night, and the extreme lack of motivation. But all of that has changed over the past week or so as I can no longer sleep that long even if I tried (I'll just lie awake for almost 2 hours in the early morning hours), and I even managed to get some dishes done as well as some laundry! (proud moment, yes.)

We had our 2nd check-up appointment yesterday and everything is still sounding great with the little monster. Heart rate was at 164 yesterday, so it's been decreasing from the 175 and 172 from 4 weeks ago, which has AJ hopeful that there's a BOY in there (going by those old wives tales of course!), but only time will tell :) Baby was also quite active yesterday when we were listening to the heartbeat because they kept moving away from the doppler! Must be a little energetic!

Baby is now measuring about the size of a LEMON (3.5 inches long from top of their little head to their little butt).

Grow little baby, grow! :)
