19 weeks

We went to the doctor today. I have never waited so long for an appointment in my life. We waited almost an hour! It was a quick appointment where they do the usual stuff (weight, BP, ask how I'm doing, ask if I can feel the baby move, and listen to the heartbeat). It took her a minute to find the heartbeat which kind of scared me but I knew I felt the baby move a few minutes before that so I guess I worried for nothing. She didn't give me an exact number but told me the heartbeat was in the 140/150 range and was good. It's so nice hearing my baby's heartbeat <3

I can feel the baby kick without putting my hand on my stomach now. It started last night when I had my laptop on my belly. I'm not sure if baby could feel it but I clearly felt a kick right where it was sitting. I put my hand on my belly and felt another one :) Now if only they happened more often and Jake could feel. I know I said that I felt kicks before but those were only with my hand, I couldn't actually feel them without pushing on my belly. Yay, my peanut is getting more active in there.

No sickness this week. I got a little nauseated at the appointment this morning but other than that everything is great. I have gained about 10 pounds! That's a good weight gain for almost 20 weeks but I feel like I've gotten so fat. It's not fun gaining weight but it's for the baby so as long as I'm healthy I'm ok with it.
