Finally Feeling Better

Dear Sprout:
I'm 12 weeks and 1 day and I'm finally starting to feel better. I still have my days where I feel yucky in the morning or right before bed, but all in all, I can function like a normal human being.
My belly started to pop out this week. I'm trying my hardest to stay in normal clothes for as long as I can, but the thought of elastic comfiness is starting to consume me. Are yoga pants acceptable to wear everywhere? I mean people wear fleecey bunny pj pants out and about so surely yoga pants are okay, right?
We went for the ultrasound at 8 weeks and 4 days and you looked perfect. Of course you actually looked like a blob, but perfect to me! Your heartbeat was 153 and you were measuring right on track.
I went for my first OB appointment right at 10 weeks and they tried to find your heartbeat with the doppler but it was too early they said. So they just did an exam. Oh joy. I wasn't too worried about them not finding your heartbeat at that appointment. I checked my "Bump" book that I wrote in for your brother and I saw that they tried to find his right at 10 weeks as well and couldn't. So we'll wait another 2 weeks for my next appointment and hear it then!
Everyone is convinced that you are a girl. We'll see. I'm not convinced. But I really can't decided one way or another what you might be. A part of me thinks girl since things are so different, but then again another part of me says boy again just because. It's almost like now I can't really imagine having a baby girl.
In another 28 weeks or so we'll know!!
This time around it seems harder to not want to find out. But we won't. We'll wait for the surprise of our life.
I love you too the moon and back baby Sprout.
Love Always & Forever,
Mommy
