16 Weeks/Updates

I'm 16 weeks 6 days along. I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow. Everything is going great. On Monday(March 21th) we got to see the baby. The baby was all over the place. He/she was VERY hyper. Samantha looked amazed watching her little brother or sister. Baby was sucking it's thumb and baby waved Hi to Samantha and Samantha waved and said Hi back! :o) Grandma tried to find out the gender, but that was a no go. But we were able to get a couple of good pictures. On Tuesday, I had my 16 week OB appointment. Quickest appointment I've ever had. Heard the heartbeat, which was 148bpm. And we got the okay to schedule our 20 week ultrasound!! The big day is, April 18th!!!!!!!! We are all so so excited! Especially Seth! He can't wait to see that thing in between "his" legs. LOL. We will see. I just hope he won't be too disappointed when he finds out it's a girl. :D
Around 12-13 weeks, I swear I felt the baby move. It felt like little twitches.  Then it stopped, until last week. Last week this baby has really started kicking and moving around. They are just little, adorable kicks. But I love it!!!!!! Seth has been trying to feel it, but he said he can't yet. Hopefully he'll be able to feel it soon. He loves the feeling just as much as I do. :o) I love the 2nd trimester!

16 Week Belly

Samantha is amazing(as always!). I cannot believe she will be 18 months next month!
She has learned SO many new words. She has actually started saying little 2 word sentences. She has finally(kinda) got the idea that not every animal is a puppy. LOL. She's very much in love with puppies! She loves the word "no"!! Everything is no.  But that could be because Seth and I tell her "no" A LOT! I've never said "no" so much in my entire life then I have in the past couple months. lol. She loves "Moe, Moe"(Elmo)! She always gets excited when Elmo's World comes on, on Sesame Street.
Last week we decided it was time to take Samantha's binky away from her. Permanently! No more binky for this big girl! She didn't have it very much anyway. We only gave it to her during her nap time and bed time. I really wasn't too sure how it was going to go. But (as usual) she proves me wrong! She's doing amazing!!! I am so proud of her!
Seth is doing okay. He's still having his stomach issues. He's still on his bland diet(which he HATES). He hasn't been losing as much weight as he has been, which is good. He has been eating a bit better, but he's still feeling sick a lot. He was seeing a doctor about it, but he wasn't helping much. He said it was acid and he put Seth on some acid meds, but it didn't help. He hasn't had a decent nights sleep since this has been going on, so about 4 months now. I feel horrible for him. He needs to find a "stomach" doctor, or something, and hopefully someone can figure out what's going on with him so he can get some relief!
On a good note, Seth was in the Polar Plunge on Saturday. It's where you run into the freezing cold water for a good cause, which was the Special Olympics. He signed up through the Sheriff's Office, where he's a reserve for. I was so proud of him. It was absolutely freezing out.  It was 30 some degrees and super windy, which made it even more cold. The water was 37 degrees. He did it. I wasn't too sure if he would really do it or not. He did say that he would NEVER do it again! lol. I was very proud of him! :o)
