16 weeks...

So, this has turned out to be the hardest week thus far for me & my pregnancy.  I started feeling awful & went to the doctor...tested positive for the FLU! SERIOUSLY?!?!?! I'm starting to feel better now but not 100%.  I did schedule the ultrasound for April 4, Thursday, to find out what we are having!  I am so friggin excited!! Regardless if it's a "lil miss Juliet" or "redneck Romeo" I will be completely thrilled!! & I just ordered a fetal Doppler! Now, I can listen to my lil jellybean's heartbeat any time I want!! <3

Jellybean gettin so big!! <3

Getting SOOOO big!  I love watching the movements while doing an ultrasound!

 

Wouldn't put the hands down when trying to take a pic!

Can see the face forming!  I cannot wait to see my precious child!

1 Down :)

Welp, yesterday marked the official end of my first trimester! :)

I'm so thankful & blessed to have a healthy baby still growing inside of me! :)

It has now become harder to get comfortable to sleep, especially considering the fact I am a stomach sleeper!
I'm looking forward to finding out the gender!  I'm happy with a boy or girl, but my impatience gets the better of me & I want to know! 

I'm excited to begin my second trimester & all that lies ahead!
