2nd Trimester!

WooHoo!!! I entered the 2nd trimester yesterday, so I am a third way through my pregnancy at 14 weeks. My nausea has subsided an incredible amount. I will still start to feel sick if I do not eat frequently. I have found that I have to eat small meals every few hours. It's strange--I'll get this intense hunger and then will be full within a few bits. I'm am so happy that I am eating regular food again and not just crackers and mashed potatoes.

I'm really hoping that the 2nd trimester goes smoother than the 1st. I have been getting these horrible, horrible headaches for several weeks now. They are so intense I feel like I can't think or move my head, and they even wake me up at night. My Ob told me I can take tylenol pm which has helped me fall asleep at night. I am really hoping the headaches will end now that I am done with the 1st trimester.

I had my 12 week doctor visit a couple of weeks ago and everything looks great! Joshua and I got to hear the baby's heart beat which was so amazing. The heart beat was at 155 beat an hour. Based on an old wive's tale, this means will are having a girl. Also based on an old Chinese gender chart, we are having a girl! Don't know if it is true but it is fun to guess. I actually think I want to wait to be surprised at the birth but am still undecided.

Some more exciting news is that Joshua and I are putting our condo up for sale!!!! Getting the place ready to put up on the market has been more work than I ever imagined though. We had to pack up lots of stuff, rearrange furniture, and clean every corner of the place. Our place looks really nice and I think it will show really well. There seems to be so much more space that both Joshua and I are thinking maybe a baby could fit in here with us. While we could stay there a little longer (and will if it doesn't sale), we think now is a good time to buy a house while interest rates are down. Plus, we hope to have an extra room so everyone can stay at our place while they come visit the baby!

I have started looking at baby names and found a cool site that generates names based on options you click on: www.babynamewizard.com
