Today's dotor appointment was the "panel" visit, where they review all of our medical family history. We also had an ultrasound which was very exciting. The baby kept kicking and moving around so much that it took about 10 minutes for the nurse to get a good picture or heart beat. I don't remember Anna Rae ever being quite that active. It was really neat to see how much the baby has grown since the last visit too. He or she is measuring about 5 centimeters and the heatbeat was 170 beats per minute... good, strong, and healthy! During our next appointment in March we may not have an ultrasound, but the appointment after that we find out the sex!!!
Other than the occasional aches and pains, and feeling a little nauseous, I'm doing great. Actually felt good enough and had enough energy to go to the gym this week. I've decided not to run again, and just walk, lift weights and do pregnancy yoga like a I with Anna Rae. Lately it hasn't been feeling sick as much as it's been feeling so tired that has kept me from keeping a workout routine. I usually go to the gym during my lunch hour, but lately I haven't had the energy to. Hopefully with the second trimester approaching I will start getting a little more energized!
On a different note, I turned 30 this week! I never thought about the possibility of being pregnant on a BIG birthday like my 30th, but it was pretty low key, relaxing, and fun. Johnathan and I are going to Raleigh today to spend the weekend with Katie and Tripp. My mom is keeping Anna Rae, and it will be a nice baby free, dog free weekend!
11 weeks!
