2nd Trimester/12 Weeks!

We've finally made to the 2nd trimester in this pregnancy. Felt like it was never going to get here!!
We had our 12 week check up on Thursday. Seth met me and Samantha at the doctor's office.  This was the exciting appointment...We got to hear the baby's heartbeat!  The heartbeat was 156bpm. Which is perfect! :)  Everything is going great! I gained about 5 pounds since last appointment. I'm starting to feel a lot better. Still pretty tired though. I hope I get some more energy soon!
Our next appointment is March 22nd. I'll be 16 weeks along then. Which reminds me, if I remember right, I have an ultrasound that day too. So I may have to do some rescheduling. My sister in-law told me about this clinic in Cedar Rapids starting to do free ultrasounds for their clients and they needed some pregnant women to practice on. So of course, I volunteered to help them out! ;)  I'm totally excited!!

Here's my 12 week belly

10 Weeks

Today we have reached the double digits in pregnancy #2. Everything is going pretty good! Although, I still don't have a whole lot of energy. But day by day I seem to be getting a little bit more pep in my step. My back is KILLING me! I feel enormous!! The past couple of nights I haven't been able to sleep that great. I've been waking up 2-3 times a night, but I am able to fall back asleep pretty quick. I can't stop eating! I'm absolutely in love with subway right now, I can't get enough of that stuff. We had it 2 nights in a row last week. So yummy! I still get a little nauseous here and there, but it seems to be tampering off. *thumps up* I have gained some weight. Which is good....I guess...lol.
Well there are my "joys of pregnancy" lol
Oh, our appointment has changed to February 24th. I am TOTALLY excited to hear the baby's heartbeat!

Here's to a growing belly! :)

Snow Snow Snow

We had a HUGE snow storm come through our state last night. I believe we got about 12-14 inches of snow. We can't quite tell since it has been blowing all over the place. We've been under a blizzard warning since last night and it's still in effect until noon today. They have actually mentioned that it was a life threating blizzard. It was pretty scary stuff last night. I couldn't imagine being out in that crap!
Needless to say Seth, Samantha and I are snowed in for the day. We have about 3-4ft snow drifts in our drive way and our street hasn't even been plowed yet (when they do come plow, I'm for sure not going to be able to make it out of our drive way!) and, we have a 5ft snow drift in our back yard.
Here are some photos
