15 weeks

On Tuesday, we had our 15 weeks doctor's appointment. Everything looked really good. The baby has a nice strong heart beat. The doctor tried to get a good ultrasound picture but the baby was facing the placenta. My next appointment will be a long ultrasound with measurements and all. I mentioned to the doctor that I feel like my heart is racing a lot. According to him and to the books and all that can be a normal feeling for a pregnant woman since your blood volume increases so much. He checked my pulse at the office and it was pretty high, so he checked some blood work and an EKG just to make sure. We don't know the results yet, but I know everything is fine. Even before I was pregnant I tended to have a higher heart rate, which makes it all the much higher when I am pregnant. I'm just learning not to worry so much, I know the Lord is in control and has me and the baby in the palm of His hand and we are both going to be healthy and strong throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Otherwise, I'm feeling really good these days. The nausea is mostly gone, except when I get really hungry I start to feel sick. I even have more energy lately. Stuffy nose and sinus problems are still an issue, but that's to be expected. I really can't wait to feel this little one move inside of me. I felt a few very faint feelings in the last couple weeks, but I'm not really sure yet if it's the baby that I'm feeling. Once I feel it more I'll know for sure. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as this little one is growing...and so am I!
