Today we had our 14 week check up and everything looks good. We heard the sweet little heartbeat! I LOVE hearing it! Now I know why people get the Doppler Kits to listen at home! :) The heartbeat was 162 beats per minute and it was a lot easier for the nurse to find it since the baby is getting bigger.
They did change my next appointment to June 22nd when I'm 19 weeks instead of June 15th because they want to the baby to be a little bigger. So, we will find out pink or blue then! :) Then we can really get started planning that nursery. :)

Sickness and Pregnancy Brain
Thursday night I felt horrible! Fever, headache, cough, sneezing...the whole bit and the worst part...NO MEDICINE! I never realized how wonderful medicine is until the choice was "taken" away. I had to be absent from school on Friday, so I called my family Doctor to see if I could get in just to make sure I didn't have anything horribly wrong like...I don't know...the SWINE FLU! :) Well he was in meetings all day and not taking any appointments, but I am slowly getting better.
Then something occurred...another first of pregnancy for me....Round Ligament Pain! It literally felt as if someone was starting at the bottom of my abdomen and pulling it up! So I called my OB and explained what I was feeling. She told me to take two Tylenol (which is one of the things you can take when you are preggers), drink a big glass of water, warm bath, lay on my left side, and call her back in an hour. So did the whole work up and the pain was still there. This had me worried all day, but I woke up this morning and the pain is gone.(for now) :)
I also experienced another first....Pregnancy Brain! Yesterday I was looking for my peanut butter and could not find it anywhere! I looked up and down the entire pantry for it. I decided to text JJ to see if he knew where it was. Low and behold I got a text back and he said it was in the refrigerator! Of all places! I guess when I put PB on my Eggos the other morning I had mistakenly put the jar in the door of the frig! Who knows what will happen next!
