Wahoo! Second Trimester

Week 14 (baby 3 months old)

November, December, and January are long gone (so so THANKFUL God and my family/friends got me through the rough first trimester!).  Now that I'm 15 weeks, I'm feeling much more myself (although could still use better sleep) and even put on my first pound this past week!  After loosing about 5 pounds in the first trimester, it feels good to be growing my baby bump!  At 13 weeks, the kids and I heard the baby's heartbeat at my second doctor appointment.  I'm really looking forward to feeling the baby move for the first time in the next month or so.  Only a month and a half until we have the big ultrasound and find out the sex of the baby. (=  My guess is it's a boy (mainly because I had quite a bit of nausea this time) which is how I felt with Joel...but I've had a lot of people say they think it's a girl.  I'll take whatever God sees fit to bless us with though!
