Week 14

Matt & I went to the Dr. today for our 14 week visit.   

I had gained almost 2 pounds in the past month!!  This is exciting news for me, since I never gained any weight with Taylor.  Also on a positive note, the Dr. was able to measure my belly for the first time.  My belly never got big enough with Taylor for them to measure it.  The heartbeat was good today (in the 150s) and the belly measurement was "normal" according to the Dr.  

We go back to the Dr. on May 28 for our 18 Week appointment.  They will start doing ultrasounds at least once a month at this visit.  This is also the visit that we should (as long as the baby cooperates) be able to find out the sex.  The 18 week ultrasound is when they do all of the big measurements and anatomy checks as well.  This should be an exciting visit!!  I don't think I can wait a whole month more, but guess I have to!  

My twice daily shots are going well.  I have not had anymore rash outbreaks and have now been doing the shots for 3 weeks solid.  My belly is rather bruised and ugly to look out (see photo), but it is totally worth the slight discomfort.  I am just so grateful that the rash has not returned and that I have good Drs that know what they are doing.  

Mystery Rash (eventually we determined that the rash was from Palmer's Cocoa Butter cream)

Thank you to all of our family and friends that have supported both Matt and I through the past year and a half and who are now supporting us through this wonderful journey called pregnancy.  

We love you all!
Matt, Jennifer, & Baby Enzor
