Whew...

Had my December check-up today, and of course, the baby is still there lol. I heard the heartbeat again, and I just can't believe how one sound can completely change the tone of your day/week/lifetime. Its one sound that you want to make sure you never stop hearing.
One "bad" thing about this visit is that I lost two pounds since the last visit. I blame this on basketball stressing me out. The tournament this weekend (having to coach both freshmen and JV) really took it out of me, AND I wasn't able to eat as much as I should have. I also think I'm losing the muscle mass that I had, which really upsets me because I like my muscles lol. One girl at work told me not to quit working out and I asked her to find me time.
Jan 19 is when we can finally stop calling the baby "it." I really think I might be having a girl, you know, just mother's intuition. Then again, I could be totally wrong. The heartbeat is high, and lots of people say that means boy. I guess we'll find out in 6 weeks!

Are you in there Baby?

Lately, one of the biggest fears I've had is that my baby isn't actually in my belly. I havent gained any weight and not much of a baby bump yet, so its still kind of unreal to me. Nothing has happened to where I would suspect that something bad has transpired, but still. What to Expect When You're Expecting tells me that this is a common fear that pregnant women have. It starts to go away once the baby starts moving and more belly shows. I'm glad that I'm just having normal fears, but still, this is a big one lol. I'm sure everything is fine.
