14 weeks! I am so grateful to have made it this far!  I am anxiously anticipating my next OB appt. It seems that I need alot of confirmation that this little baby is still in there and doing ok. I am still just as nervous now as I was when I found out I had the bleed. However this pregnancy has been going pretty fast! I have been keeping myself busy and trying not to dwell on things so much and if you know me then you know that is very hard for me to do!! My shirts are getting snug in the belly area and you can tell I am pregnant that's for sure! However my jeans are all falling off of me! ODD! I am getting tired pretty easy and sometimes I have a hard time breathing! The food cravings are starting to really kick in too. I've been wanting cheesecake and KFC coleslaw the past couple days!!  These cravings come at around 8:30-10:30 pm still!! My skin is really starting to look like crap too and my hair feels like it's a greasy mess half of the time! Eeew! I wouldn't trade it for anything though! ;) I am happy that the puking stage has passed though! So today starts the 2nd Trimester and I am so excited about that! I'm really praying hard for a good week and that my next appointment goes well. I always get so nervous when I go to the doctor. I never know what is in store for me!

Josh has been EXTREMELY helpful during all of this. I couldn't ask for a better man to be married to. He is always right there to take care of Brielle when I'm not feeling "right" and never once has complained. He's very excited for this new baby and has been already looking up baby names! I won't let myself even think about names until I am at least 20 weeks along. Pregnancy is one crazy ride!!

 Today was a very eventful day! First of all it was a major milestone for me. This day has turned out a lot better than I had imagined. I had my very first OB appointment today with Dr. Roberts.  When I got there Dr. Roberts was delivering a baby and was going to be late so I asked her nurse if I could go to ultrasound first...Which is really where I wanted to go! I needed to see that little heart beating...and that was exactly what I saw!! 168 beats per minute!! The baby was wiggling everywhere! Active little thing! He or she is about 3 inches long and looking good so far! I only pray that this baby grows strong and healthy.  It was really fun to have my mother in law there with me! Thank god she was with me! I was a nervous wreck!! After the ultrasound I was able to get right in with Dr. Roberts. She used the doppler to try and listen for the baby's heartbeat and was able to find it!! I thought for sure that she wouldn't find it but she did and it was music to my ears!! It was beating SO fast!!  Dr. Roberts said that I still have my clot and that she wanted to still monitor me closely so she said she is going to see me every three weeks now for awhile which I thought was absolutely GREAT!! I will be seeing her when I am 15 weeks and I can't wait! I really hope from here on out everything is smooth sailing for us!
