2nd Baby Appointment

So Jonathan and I went in for our second appointment today. I am 13 weeks and 1 day along and finally in the 2nd trimester!!!! My morning sickness is pretty much gone and my energy levels are up. Sometimes I feel like I can climb a mountain! The baby's heart beat is 156, strong and normal. And my blood results came back and the doctor said he was impressed. Apparently I am very healthy. He asked "Do you live here in Rexburg?"We were like, "Ya..." And the Doctor was like "Hmm... they usually don't come this high in iron around here..."
So Jonathan and I are very proud of ourselves for being healthy. I did lose some weight from being sick but the doctor said that was okay and that I will start gaining some pounds soon. My tummy is starting to push out a bit. So when I wear a t-shirt it looks like I ate ten donuts...okay 20 donuts...so I am showing a little. According to my baby updates on the internet our baby is 3 inches long. It can suck its thumb and make faces and bounce around using little arms and legs. All of this happening in me and I can't even feel it yet! Oh well, sooner or later our little boy or girl will be keeping me awake with kicks and punches. FYI- Jonathan still thinks its a boy. And for the sake of the female gender I say its a girl. But I don't care what it is as long as it is healthy and strong. And we are going to keep it a surprise until the delivery room. That will be something else to look forward to.

Jonathan and his friend Liji have been building this one room house for the Cook family. It took them two weeks to get this far on the building and it looks great. Jonathan is glad for the practice, he told me, because it will get him ready to build our home when the time comes.

This is me in all my Morning Sickness glory. Jonathan was kind enough to take a picture. He is still a darling though.
