Hi! I'm Jennifer. I'm 30 years old and this is my second pregnancy, although my last one ended in miscarriage. Everything seems to be going great this time around. Because of my previous miscarriage I had an early ultrasound at 7w4days and the baby measured right on schedule with a heartbeat of 153. I am counting down the days until this trimester ends so that I can start getting really excited and start shopping! I am an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist.

I've made it to week 11! And I feel horrible. Other than getting a red, itchy rash that was diagnosed as PUPPP in week 7, these are the most challenging symptoms I've had. Nausea, heartburn, sensitivity to smell, headaches, fatigue and just generally feeling awful. I know it's for a good cause though! I took the Intelligender gender prediction kit earlier this week and it said...girl! We'll see.

Made it through to week 12 and I'm feeling....okay. Seems like a bit of my energy is coming back but I'm definitely not up to normal yet. Weather here is getting so much nicer and I have been able to hike after work almost everyday. Been listening to the heartbeat on doppler daily! Kind of afraid I'm over-doing it so I think that I will return it to the rental place soon. I can't resist it when it's here so I might as well give it back.
