We've got a heartbeat!

It's been a little bit since the last post, but I really haven't had too much to say... I'm feeling better lately. Still need to eat a lot, though not quite as frequently as before. I haven't been dizzy or really sick in the last week or two, though I do still feel the need to sleep a lot. Other than that, not much has changed. I'm starting to get more of a bloat in the front now, but even that isn't super noticeable.

I suppose it's worth mentioning that I got fired from my job last Friday... It's a dumb story but I feel like maybe I just wasn't meant to be there anymore. I need to figure something out in the near future so that I can be on some kind of health insurance and pay for it, but for right now I'm just enjoying the extra chance to sleep and trying to get caught up cleaning my house and getting things organized. If we're going to have to fit a crib and all that baby stuff in our apartment as well then some organizing and rearranging is definitely in order over the next months.

Last weekend Matt and I drove down to Hilton Head to move a furniture set from my grandparents house to Matt's dad's house so he could use Matt's old room as a guest bedroom. While we were down there my mom took us shopping and bought me some maternity clothes so when my britches start getting tight I don't need to worry.  :)  They actually fit me a lot better than I thought maternity clothes would and they're really cute. In the fitting room at the store they have this belly you can try on that adds about 3 months or so to give you a better idea when trying on clothes. We had fun with those... He's carrying his a little lower than mine...


Probably the most exciting thing so far was this morning when we went to our first "real" doctors appointment. We got to sit down and speak with the doctor this time, I got a physical, and we also got to hear Baby C's heartbeat, which was really cool.  :)  First we heard mine, then another one that was going like 10 times as fast. Matt took this video so our friends and family could see and hear. (And yes, I know I'm smiling like an idiot. Matt was too!)



Lastly, I know I didn't post my usual weekly update videos yet, so here are the links to the videos for weeks 10 and 11, if you're interested.  :)
