Almost there!

Well, I have one week to go before I'm in the second trimester - a milestone that used to seem so far away! I am starting to feel better ~ wearing maternity pants today too so that feels fabulous! They are a little big but that makes me feel even better after most of my regular clothes have been snug for like a month now!

We rented a doppler unit to use at home - it's a handheld device that doctor's use to hear the heartbeat of the little one during pregnancy, basically the same technology as an ultrasound machine but just for sound. We decided to get it after a few scary days to help us put our minds at ease during the 4-week stretches between doctor's appointments. It came in on Thursday, and after some searching on the internet for tips on best ways to find the little monkey's heartbeat this early, there it was, loud and clear!!!! It is the best sound ever! We listened again on Friday when Jerred was home, and we'll probably listen once a week or so!!! If I can figure out how to post it to the blog I will!! And I'm going to have Jerred start taking some pics of me this coming weekend finally, so I'll post those as well (although I really just look fat at this point, not pregnant, but oh well).

Otherwise nothing much new here - warm days in MN this week (30s!!) so it feels good. We are headed to NC to see my grandparents this coming weekend so we'll post the pics when we get back most likely! Yeah for 60 degree weather ahead in NC - sounds like tropical weather to us!
