Week Thirteen

August 10, 2011 by Aliesha

I had another appointment with my midwife this morning.  We got to hear Baby Mango’s heartbeat for the first time!  It was strong and constant… clocking in at about 168-172 beats per minute.  Everything seems to be going well, though I have lost weight since my first appointment a month ago.  I think that’s probably due to the fact that I am still breastfeeding Vera.  My midwife said that continuing to breastfeed as long as I can is perfectly safe!

I’m still not feeling the greatest, but I think in the next couple of weeks I should see some improvement in that respect.  I’m still quite exhausted, but I am thankful that I can get a little nap most afternoons while Vera sleeps.  I’m sleeping relatively well at night (I usually only wake up once).

Thank you for your prayers for our family!

Week thirteen with Vera.
