Why Bunny's Blog?

You may notice that throughout the blog baby is referred to as "bunny". Many people use nicknames like "bean" but I thought bunny was cute.

Heartbeat & Hello Second Trimester

Last week I had a quick OB checkup where I got to hear the baby's heartbeat. I guess some people think it sounds like galloping horses, but I didn't think of that. It was more like listening to the heartbeat of the ocean. The doctor actually had a harder time finding the heartbeat so I didn't think to pull out my phone and try to record it. Overall it was a pretty quick checkup and I now have appointments for more blood work and an anatomy scan in early August. She said I wouldn't know the gender before my shower so I made an appointment with a private place to have a 2D scan when people are visiting next month so they can see the baby in person.




Tomorrow baby bunny is 14 weeks old and the size of a peach! Some calculations count week 13 as the beginning of the second trimester and others wait until week 14. Either way hello second trimester!

I'm supposed to have more energy now, but we will see. Since my first trimester was really tame, I don't think I will feel that much difference. The one pregnancy symptom I actually have been dealing with and wasn't expecting is a very dry nose. I've got a humidifier running to try and minimize the symptoms but I am hoping I won't get a bloody nose, as I've never had one before.
