14 Weeks and Counting...



I am now 14 weeks into my pregnancy and have officially entered the second trimester! Yay! I finally took a belly pic since I now am getting a little bit of one. Sometimes I would think I was getting a belly, but it most likely was just bloating since it would go down the next day. Now, it consistently is there. It's definitely rounding out and is looking like I am just gaining weight, ha. I look forward to when it looks more like a true pregnant belly!

I have been feeling pretty good lately, with the exception of the onset of vertigo last week. If you have never had it before, it is different than just normal dizziness in that it feels as if the room is whirling. It often makes people unable to stand and can make them very nauseated. I do not feel it is pregnancy related, since I have had it before, about 2 years ago. My episodes are very short, only lasting a few seconds if I move my head to a new direction quickly. (Which is lucky, since some people have constant vertigo for days.) I have a hunch that it has to do with an inner ear problem I have. Of course, this is my self-diagnosis, ha. Over the last week, I can feel it about to come on again if I tilt or move my head in different directions. I am seeing my general doctor tomorrow. I have been praying that it will go away soon, mainly because it inhibits me from really doing any exercise besides walking.

I go for my next OB appointment on February 3rd. At this appointment, I think we will get to schedule our sonogram appointment where we will get to find out the gender of Baby H! Can't wait :-)
