I'm almost into my 2nd trimester and I'm starting to feel kinda blah. I've honestly felt pretty good for these first 12 weeks and now when I'm entering what's known as the "honeymoon trimester" I'm starting to feel blah. Doesn't make any sense, does it?  All day or actually for the past few days all I've wanted is to have great big round belly and to waddle around the house doing whatever. But that's not what I have, what I have is a bloated feeling that makes my normal (plump) belly a little bigger but it's nothing that resembles a pregnant belly. It really looks like I"m about to start my period or like I've gained about 10 pounds which really sucks. But I haven't gained much weight at all, last count it was like 1 pound total. Anyway, I'm tired and bloated and feel really disgusting and I need to go to bed and get some sleep but I'm sitting here typing out how gross I feel not even knowing who is going to be reading this. I think I must be losing my mind.

We arrived at the hospital around 12:30pm so that I could pre-register. The lady that does that was gone to lunch and my appointment with the Doctor wasn't untill 2pm so we decided to see if we could get a tour of the Maternity Center. The nurse that we spoke to was great and she took us to the room where she had her baby. The room was very nice and quiet roomy too. She told us about how things go and that I would labor, deliver and stay in the same room unless I had to have a c-section, in which case I'd be moved to another room after being sewn up. That entire area was very nice and I'm quite impressed with it and the staff that I spoke to. After that we went to see Helen the pre-register lady. It didn't take but about 10 minutes with her cause her computer was down so all I could do was fill out paperwork and I have to go back next month to finish with her.

So about 1:30 I got in the doc's waiting room and thought I'd be waiting forever but after about 5 minutes of sitting there they called me back and the doc got to me right away. I really liked her too. I'm glad I went there. Anyway we were out of there by 2pm (which was my appoinment time). All in all I was very pleased with how everything went. And I'm much more excited about all this now than I was a few weeks or even days ago. And I'm a little more calm too.

So we heard the baby's heartbeat today and I was so relieved. For about 2 weeks I've been sick waiting to hear that sweet, sweet sound and all the way to the office today I could have lost my breakfast but the doc found it right away and I was so glad. I have more to say but Whitney is acting hungry so I guess I should go feed her lol.

More later.

I have had several people ask me the same question over the past few weeks and it's starting to bother me. "What do you want this time?" "Do you want a Boy this time?" or even the comments such as "I bet you're hoping for a Boy!" or my all-time favorite  "Are you trying for a Boy?" TRYING? First, it's too late to be "trying" and Second, I wasn't trying in the first place. Why do people assume that I am hoping for one particular sex over the other?  I am barely use to the idea that I'm even having a baby and now I'm suppose to hope I'm having a certian sex!  No I don't want a boy just because I already have a girl and No I don't want a girl because I already have all the stuff for one. I want a healthy baby. I know people say that and everyone around them is thinking "sure, yeah right, she wants a boy (or girl)." But I seriously don't care if it's a boy or a girl as long as he or she is ok and healthy. Now that being said what I do care about is the "I bet your having TWINS!" comment. All of you people can go crawl back under a rock where you belong cause I surely don't wanna hear that again. I haven't gotten any bigger (not where anyone else could tell anyway) and I'm not having any MAJOR symptoms so SHUTUP!

Ok now I feel better and my Husband, what's his name, has cooked Burritos for us for Supper tonight. Awww, so sweet!  Gotta go feed the NOT TWINS.
