13 weeks!

So my Dr appointment on Monday went great. We love our new OB and we got to hear the heartbeat at the office. On Tuesday we had our ultrasound and saw our baby doing flips on the screen. It was absolutely hilarious. I wish we could've gotten it on video. I get the results of the U/s at my next appt next week along with my BW results. I'm so happy to be in the 2nd trimester!! Baby is the size of a peach today. :) yesterday was the 1st day I haven't thrown up since wk 7 so I'm hoping that's a good sign. So far today I've been holding down my food as well. I still have nausea, headaches and heartburn once 2p.m. hits. But at least I know the baby is getting some food. Now that I'm not puking I'm hoping to start eating healthy. I've gained 1 lb my 1st trimester and even though my OB said I can gain 25-30 lbs. I'd like to stay under 20 lbs. We went to Mikes grandparents yesterday to tell them the news in person. We put the U/S pic in a frame that said 'baby' and gift wrapped it. His grandfather wanted to be the one to open it and as soon as he did he looked puzzled. Then his eyes filled with tears and he yelled "YOU!!??" and he started crying. It then made me start crying because I adore his grandparents like they are my own. He started saying how happy we've made him and he's been praying every night for us and he's so excited to have another great grandchild. Him and I went outside and he said the sweetest things to me and made me tear up again. I will be devastated when their time comes. It was a memory I'll cherish forever. Nothing else to update since I'm held captive in my own home at the moment. Here's hoping 2nd tri is nice to me so I can get my life back. I'll update how my next OB appt goes next week!
