I completely skipped 14wks! Sorry y'all! It's been a crazy few weeks. I am officially in the second trimester; no if ands or buts about it!
I have still been dealing with a fair amount of fatigue, and during my 15th wk I came down with the mother of all head colds. The sinus pressure was NO JOKE. I wanted to fall back on something like mucinex or sudafed to help but there was just way too much conflicting information out there on what was safe and what wasn't. So, I toughed it out naturally and drank a lot of hot water with honey and lemon!
During week 15 I also had my first appointment with the midwives. Got a ton of great dietary advice, and heart baby's heartbeat!! It was thumping away at a strong 155 beats per minute. We also scheduled our anatomy scan! So we will get to find out if baby is a he or she on November 3! I just can't wait!
Lastly, I finally came out of the pregnancy closet at work! We announced to friends and family during our 13th week but it took me a bit longer to get my work up to speed. It feels good to be out and not have to worry about hiding it or anything. I am pregnant and freeeee! Haha. I'll post a copy of our announcement to family and friends below. :)
Thats all for now! I'm going to go contemplate a nap.
