Today we had a Doctor appointment to listen to the heartbeat of the baby. We were in tears as we heard the heartbeat for the first time. It was "Fast and Strong" according to the doctor, which is perfect at this stage. We were thrilled as we have been nervous about Dawn's recent stress level at work possibly effecting the baby's growth. The Doctor said that as long as Dawn continues to eat and sleep well, the baby shouldn't be too effected by the stress from work. This was good news for us!
Many of you have been asking about how Dawn is feeling. The first two months were a bit rough with nausea (whoever said this was morning sickness must have been a man because my "morning" sickness lasted all day long!). Things are better now and although Dawn is an even pickier eater now than before, she is keeping food down and the baby is getting necessary nutrients. The main setback is the exhaustion. Dawn could fall asleep each night at 8pm if Justin let her! Between work and the baby, there is little energy left to give although we are trying to do walks as much as possible. The Doctor told us her energy level will improve shortly in the 2nd trimester, which we are hopeful for but when the baby's heartbeat is 160-170, it makes sense that Dawn would have little energy.
We hope to post a picture of Dawn soon for all those who are asking to see if "she is showing." There is a small bump that is really not too noticeable by anyone other than her and it is mainly because her pants are getting tight! The picture will be up soon. Thanks to everyone for your continued prayers and support as we go through this new journey! We can feel the prayers and love!
