First Appt and 14 Weeks!!

I had my first appt with my midwife on Monday. Everything went well. Weight gain of 14.4 pounds. blood pressure 100/68. The baby was hiding for a few minutes but finally got a heartbeat of 165. Can't even use the old wives tale with this one. My other 3 kids were always in the 150-160s the whole time. I told my mw that I was really feeling the baby a lot. Big powerful kicks and just general moving. She asked me if I wanted an u/s just to check dates. I was 90% sure I knew my dates were correct, but I really wanted a peace of mind. So I got an u/s the following day. my dates were correct. Still on schedule for being due Oct. 8th. He/She's head and legs were measuring almost a week ahead, but I guess with all the other measurements put into consideration my due date came back as the same. My kids always have a big head and long legs, so I guess this one is following suit.
My next appt is May 6th.

Today I am 14 weeks. WOW! I can't believe it. I think I pretty much say that every week. Still nauseous, definitely not as much. still VERY tired. I NEED a nap every day or I can barely function. Needless to say I have been a walking zombie for about a week now. blah!
