Vacation and Entering 2nd Trimester

Joel and i just returned from a wonderful vacation to South Carolina. We both so needed a break! Life has been pretty stressful lately with many changes at our jobs and in our personal lives. Joel enjoyed some fishing while I enjoyed resting on the beach.
I haven't blogged in a while because basically I haven't had the energy. Pregnancy is hard work! Luckily I haven't been as sick as some people get but trust me I have had my share of the not so fun stuff-I am loving every minute of it though:) My clothes are already getting too snug as well, which is not so exciting. I'm too big for my old clothes but still too small for maternity clothes.
We went to the Dr. a couple weeks ago and got to hear itty bitty's heartbeat. It was 150 beats per minute! Joel thinks that means it is going to be anxious like me but apparently that is normal. I go back on the 24th of this month. If all goes well (hoping and praying it does) I guess it will be time to take our names off the adoption wait list:( I am so happy to be entering my 2nd Trimester tomorrow!
Also my sister in law is expecting as well! She is about 4 weeks behind me. It's so exciting that our baby will have cousins so close in age-just wish they all lived closer! Holidays will be so much fun!
Here are some pics of my first ultra sound-I was only 6 weeks so the baby looks a dot:) Hopefully, more to come soon!
