2nd Trimester!

Greetings!
Sorry I haven't been able to update you since last month and about my appt. ect. I have tried but for some reason blogspot wouldn't let me sign in! :(
SO-My first appt. at 12 weeks on Feb 5th went great. Rocky was able to come with as we took Paige to daycare for a couple hours. We were at the doctor for about an hour or so and it consisted of the usual family and personal health history, exam and an ULTRASOUND! I wasn't sure if I was going to get one of these but my doctor wanted to do one to check and make sure the due date was on and that there weren't any larger cysts on my ovaries. There are some on my left ovary but he said it isn't anything to be concerned about yet so that is good. My due date is still on target for August 21st also! We got to hear the heartbeat and it was 166 beats per minute, so a nice strong heartbeat. We did get a few pictures of our little one but none of them were too clear. The coolest thing was when the baby flipped around one of the times we got to see it's face and it was SO CLEAR. So cool. It still looked a little alien like but it was still cute. :)
I go back for my next appt on March 5th, next friday. Then our big ultrasound to find out the sex would be 4 weeks after that. Super excited! I have a feeling this is another girl but I thought 100% that Paige was a boy so maybe I am wrong this time too? :) Either way, as long as it's a healthy baby we won't care about the sex.
Otherwise, I am at 14 weeks right now and into the 2nd trimester. The baby is about the size of a lemon which is probably why I have been having pains from everything stretching out.
I will post an update next week after my 16 week appt!!
