Strong heartbeat

Today I went to the doctor's and I got to hear the heartbeat. The doctor said it sounded very strong. It is an amazing sound. I have gained a pound since getting pregnant, but no one is concerned. To be honest I was surprised, I feel like I have a belly. Plus this baby is really craving sweets. In fact, on Saturday I went to lunch with my aunts, my mom, and my sister and we ordered dessert. My sister and I split something and it was so yummy, but I got so sick. I just can't handle the sweets, which is what I am craving. Thankfully it passed quickly.

The doctor is having Chris tested for thalassemia minor. I have this blood disorder, I have known about it for years and it isn't really a problem. We just hope Chris isn't a carrier, because if he is the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having thalassemia major. Most likely he isn't, because he probably would have found it out already, especially since he donates so much blood.

I am going to have to go and buy some clothes. Now that the weather is finally nice, I have nothing to wear. Everything from last year I got rid of for the most part, it was too big. Right now I am still not ready for maternity clothes, but I am going to need a few things to carry me through.

Still feeling pretty good, getting a bit more energy.
