The plus 1 in the Siak 4

I got to go to the doctor today. It was exciting because Ella got to go with me and hear our little precious one's heart beat. I've been feeling the baby move for a few weeks now, and it is especially active at night when I lay down. I try to get Matt to push in on my belly to feel the movement, but every time I do the baby stops moving. The baby did the same thing at the doctors office today! She would find its heartbeat, then it would flip around and she would lose it. You could hear a big boom as it moved away from where she was pushing the doppler. We all got a big kick out of it.

I had the stomach bug last weekend, which helped me to not gain any weight this month. My pound total is at 4 pounds since I became pregnant, which personally I am super proud of. I blame it on the crazy sickness I've had with this pregnancy, but realize maybe it's God's way of helping me stay healthy. I also had 2 cavities filled this morning and a partial root canal (my mouth is not feeling too great today!) and I expected to have high blood pressure when I got to the doctor, but it too was normal! We have two weeks or so until we get to find out if this is a boy or girl growing in my belly and until I reach the half way point in my pregnancy. I am so thankful for this little peanut growing in my belly and can't wait to hold him or her in April. Thanks for praying for my pregnancy, and continue to do so!
