Second Trimester- Here we are!

Last night I had my first second trimester appointment, where the doctor mainly just listened to my and the baby's hearbeat to ensure everything is on track. Baby's heartbeat is right on track at 162 beats per minute, the doctor says baby sounds just fine! We also went over my Fifth Disease testing, which this time, showed I am immune, but that I haven't had the disease in the last 6 months... which means either the first test was a false negative or the second was a false positive. More blood work to follow will give us a definite answer.
Doctor says the naseua should start to get better, but then it will probably come back for a bit and continue this trend til it phases out. Some people have this for their whole pregnancy, but the good news is the pills they have prescribed are working, and I can safely take those the entire pregnancy, so I am not too worried at this point.
Next apptoinment in three weeks to check the heartbeat again, and then three weeks later an ultrasound to see if we can peek at the gender (yes, we are going to find out). So early January we will have another ultrasound! Yeah, those are kinda fun!
