I don't know where the time has gone, but I've passed the mid-point of this pregnancy. It seems to be going by way faster then the previous one, and I have a feeling it has something to do with an active toddler running around and keeping you busy all day. Yesterday was my 20-week checkup and I got to hear the loud heart-beat of our little baby. I am not sure how quickly it beat, but at our Ultrasound last week it was 146 bpm. My appointments are pretty uneventful because I get to wait for over an hour just to see my OB for a 5-minute appointment. But I suppose hearing the heart-beat and being given the 'all OK' from him is worth the wait. In another 7 weeks I will be entering the third and final trimester and I believe then my appointments will change from monthly to bi-weekly, and eventually to weekly. I have another Ultrasound awaiting for me in the 3rd trimester so it will be exciting to see the baby once again!
