13 weeks

Today marks my second trimester! Finally! Now I'll actually be sharing this blog with people instead of just writing it for myself. We went to the doctor yesterday. We were there to hear the heart beat but Smudgy wasn't cooperating. She was moving the doppler all around my belly and pointed out my heart beat (not as exciting) but couldn't find the baby's. She said it's not always easy to find this early so we got to have an ultrasound instead, which is way more fun and exciting. We could see the heart beat but we didn't have to. Smudgy was wiggling and jumping so much it was clear that everything's fine. The doctor seemed surprised by how much movement there was. It was truly the most amazing thing I've ever seen. We could see the arms and the head, way more exciting than the last ultrasound. Even though I knew I was pregnant it was surreal to see a real live person inside me. It's also weird to know that Smudgy could be moving that much and I wouldn't feel it.

We have to wait 8 weeks to find out if it's a girl or a boy. Torture!
