15 weeks and Counting

Today I saw the doctor for a check up. Everything is going well. Labs, blood pressure and ultrasounds are all fine. I am feeling so much better now that I am in the second trimester. Nausea is rare these days. I have been able to eat a lot more now which resulted in a 4 pound weight gain since the last visit. I am still down ten pounds since I got pregnant so I am ok with that. I have been trying to walk and eat well and will keep doing that to maintain a healthy pregnancy. We got to hear the heart beat on a Doppler for the first time. It's so strange and surreal! When we go to Tanzania we'll look into the hospitals there and decide if I can deliver there or if we should go back to Kenya for the delivery. There is a lot to consider in addition to the safest place for me give birth. Since the baby will be a Kenyan citizen as well as American citizen we'll have to fill out lots of paperwork to ensure there are no immigration issues. It seems a bit overwhelming now, but we are just taking things one step at a time.
