Pregnant Progression so far....

Can't believe I am posting this....

Heartbeat

Yesterday was a very cool day for me as Josh and I were finally able to hear the baby's heart beat for the first time. (Josh was able to call and I put him on speaker phone.) It was truly amazing! The little peanut is doing well so far. The heart beat was 145--there are so many myths on the heartbeat but my doctor said they are not true. So... we shall see April 19 what the sex of the baby is...I will be happy with a boy or a girl--I just want a healthy baby!

Saturday I will be 13 weeks so I will be into my 2nd trimester soon! I am feeling great! I have gained 1 pound so far but I know that number will grow larger as time goes on. Finally, spring is here which means tennis season has started and I can start walking outside in this nice weather! I am excited to be back playing tennis and staying active with this little peanut. :-)

Wee Bit of Me Wednesday

{one} what color is your kitchen?well, i am renting a place right now while Josh is in Afghanistan and it's wallpaper--with cherries on it. :-) {two} do you have a good luck charm?No
{three} do you prefer to write with a pen or pencil?Pen please. {four} can you use chopsticks?No and I have no desire to either--a fork works just fine! Maybe if I tried chopsticks I wouldn't eat as much though...is that why Asians are so skinny??????
{five} do you prefer baths or showers?To get clean-showers but to relax I love me some baths with bubble bath and candles.
{six} what is your favorite salad dressing?That's tough, now! I like Balsamic, Greek, and Ranch as my faves! Recently I have been craving Ranch dressing more and I also love it to dip my pizza in!
{seven} can you sing the alphabet backwards?No.
{eight} do you have any allergies?Yep-- I guess pollen or whatever the yucky stuff in the air is.
{nine} crunchy or creamy peanut butter?I love crunchy peanut butter but I'll take either.
{ten} have you ever hitch hiked?No--I am a weeny.
