I'm really loving this whole 2nd trimester phase. I know I got off pretty light with morning sickness, but the fatigue and exhaustion hit me pretty hard in the 1st tri. I actually have energy to do stuff now and no longer feel like the living dead. Getting a decent work out at the gym out is now physically possible (I said possible, making it to the gym is another thing) and I can make it through a whole day of work without having to put my head down on my desk in complete exhaustion. I do have one complaint though... my skin seems to think I'm a teenager again and I read that you shouldn't use any kind of acne face wash/cream because of something to do with the salicylic acid being bad for the baby. *Sigh*.... at least I don't have back-to-school picture day to worry about.
I had another routine doctor visit this last friday. My doc used a hand-held doppler heart monitor to read the baby's heartbeat, she said it sounds nice and healthy. Other than that, it was pretty uneventful. Oh - my doctor is pregnant too, she'll be on maternity leave when I go in for my next appt in a month. I can't remember how many other kids she has, but I really like the fact that she's a mother and actually knows how everything feels.
Our next visit will be the one where we can find out the sex. We're still undecided whether we want to find out or not. We were thinking we didn't want to find out, but now curiosity is getting the better of us. Or I should say me rather than us, Wally is much more patient than I am :) I just don't like calling the baby "it," I'd rather refer to "it" as he or she. Anyway, we'll see...
Here is my 15 week and 3 day belly pic.
