I had my 2nd appointment with the doctor on Thursday and it was the first time that they listened to the heartbeat. Baby Rios has a strong heartbeat for only 13 weeks and is ready to party. When I finally heard the heartbeat I cried like a baby- I was so excited to be able to hear that precious sound!
There was no ultrasound on that appointment, I won't have another one until 20 weeks when they are able to identify the sex of the baby.
I'm pretty sure that the baby will be a rockstar- he/she has been to 3 concerts already- Foo Fighters, Def Leppard/Heart and Florence and the machine.
Now that I'm past the scary weeks, I will start working out again and I'm going back to hip hop classes. Maybe the baby will come out with a little swagger. Also, on my to-do list is to make a play list for the baby to listen to every night.
The belly is getting bigger and bigger. At the end of each day by belly is super swollen and I can only wear sweatpants around the house. I'm going to breakdown and buy the belly-band this weekend. It's my fault... all those donuts and cupcakes that I've been craving.
The good, bad and the ugly of my 9 months preparing to be a mother.
