Well we had the second trimester appointment with my OB/GYN on Monday, December 17th. Everything seems to be going really well and Daddy got to hear the heart beat this time with the Doppler! :)

We also got to see baby in another ultrasound, which was amazing to see how different Baby looks since the last time we saw him/her.

 

The little bean sure is growing fast! 

We were also hoping to find out the gender, although 16 weeks seems to be the earliest you might be able to find out, but the little bugger wasn't showing us! It was hard to get a good position to see, but also, it is so early in development still that it would only be a guess. (The ultrasound tech did guess at being a girl, but we will see!) I have my next appointment on January 15th at 20 weeks, so maybe we will have better luck then!

 It was definitely nice to have this week off before traveling home, since when we found out we were expecting I've been so busy with student teaching, I just really needed some lazy days! However, it hasn't been all that fun with this sinus/nasal congestion I have going on! It feels like a regular sinus infection, but it could also be a side affect from pregnancy. Thank goodness I have Theraflu to help me sleep a little bit during the night, and it really is my only option for medication. I'm thinking once we are home, I will feel as good as new! I'm just eager to talk baby stuff with friends and family :)
