16 Week Appointment

Today, we had our 16 week appointment at 3:55. Seth came with me. Everything went perfect!! My weight was perfect. I gained 4 lbs since last time I was there, which was 4 weeks ago. My belly measured perfect. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat which was also perfect! 152bpm. Our perfect, healthy, healthy baby! :o) My doctor gave us the okay to call and schedule our big ultrasound!!! YAY!!!! Our next OB appointment is May 28th, so we're hoping to get in the same day because the buildings are just right across the street from eachother. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, right? lol. I am planning on calling tomorrow to get it scheduled. I can't wait to find out what we're having! I think we're having a boy but there are other people(which will remain nameless,lol) that think we're having a girl. but we'll find out for sure in a month! Just can't wait!!!!! I cannot wait until I feel him/her move/kick. The only time I think I felt it was when I was 14 weeks. Since that day, nothing. I heard it can start anytime now. I'm waiting! lol.
We are so blessed! Here's my 16 week belly!

14 Weeks

I am 14 weeks along today!! Yiiipppeee!! This pregnancy feels like it's just flying by!
Also, I went into town today for my mother in-law. When I was driving home I think I felt the baby!!!! I was just sitting there driving and all of a sudden I felt a little twitch on the side of my tummy. I looked down and my jaw just dropped, then I figured I should probably look back up, since I was driving. LOL! But I don't know what else it could of been. It was VERYY cool!!!

First Bump Picture

I took my 13 week belly pic on 4/9/09. I can't believe how much I am showing now. I feel it's too early to be showing though. I just hope I'm not one of those HUGE, gross looking pregnant woman. lol. I really do love my bump!! :o) Can't wait to see our little one again. Few more weeks we get to find out, offically, if it's a boy or a girl. Most of us think its a boy. I am hoping to do a 3D ultrasound soon but we'll have to see what happens.

Our Baby

Today was our appointment. It went sooo good. I am 12 weeks 1 day. I am due October 14th. My doc did a pap exam, blood and urine tests and...... we got to see and hear our baby!!! It was the most AMAZING thing in the world! It's so real now. The baby's heartbeat was at 152. Then we got to see the baby. My 2 sister in-laws, nephew and mother in-law was there, in the room. It was just an awesome moment! Here are those pictures.

12 Weeks

Today, I am 12 weeks along!! YAY!!! It feels so good to get this far. Seems like just last week I was 8 weeks along. Its just going by so dang fast. We have our 1st doctors appointment tomorrow at 2:15. It's very exciting! Seth and I are just hoping we will be able to hear/see our baby. But I'm also getting scared and nervous. I don't know what to expect. I know there will be a lot of blood tests. Just hope everything turns out okay.
I am feeling very fat. I'm constantly hungry. I have to eat right after I wake up. Oh, how I missed eating.


Here's my 12 week belly picture

11 Weeks

I have hit the 11 week mark. Things are slowly getting better. Expect the part where I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. I still have my days where I feel like crap but like Seth said, lately I've had more good days then bad. Just hope it stays that way. I think I maybe showing a little, but I can't figure out if I'm just bloated or what. We are almost at the 2nd trimester. Two more weeks! Very exciting!
I have been eating a lot more then just apples and bananas. I've been eating real food. YAY! LOL!! I have had a real sweet tooth but I've always had a pretty good sweet tooth. The wives tales say that when you crave sweets during pregnancy then it'll be a girl but I do crave a nice juicy steak and hamburger. I think I crave everything! LOL!!
We had to reschedule our doctors appointment to April 1st for stupid insurance reasons. I'll be 12 weeks then. Seth and I are crossing our fingers hoping they'll do an ultra sound or just let us hear the heartbeat or something. If they do, I can't wait to see Seth's face. It'll just be so wonderful. Seth is planning on going, his mother and maybe my sister in-law(Aunt Amanda). Maybe some other people too, who knows. LOL!!! The more the merrier, I say.

I'm so ready to do some shopping! We're planning on remodeling one of our bedrooms for the nursery. Hopefully we'll get it done soon and not wait until the last minute. My husband is the kind of guy that likes to wait and wait and wait. Hopefully this won't be one of those situations.

I'll be updating after our appointment on the 1st.

Here's a 11 week belly picture.

Oh joy to morning sickness

It has been a pretty crappy couple of weeks. Morning sickness has roared its ugly head! I have been constantly nauseated. I've been eating a lot of bananas, apples, jell-0. I haven't had much of an appetite for anything else. Every once in a while I can eat a good dinner but usually I make my husband dinner and I have to make something else for me. Tell you what though this baby is hungry all the time. I'm sure he/she is getting tired of eating just apples and bananas. It wants a yummy hamburger or a juicy steak.
Sometimes I can't even make dinner, just looking at food makes me feel yucky.
I haven't gotten sick and I hope I never do. I have gagged a few times so mostly just nausea.
I hope this feeling goes away soon so I can enjoy this pregnancy. I have been pretty miserable. I stay home and lay in bed all day. I don't feel like me anymore! but I know it'll all be worth it at the end.
Yesterday was probably my best day so far. I actually ate some real food. I still felt nauseated a few times but it passed. I bought some preggie pops and ginger candies. I love the preggie pops they seem to do the trick pretty well. I haven't tried the ginger candies yet though.
I sleep very well at night. I have been finding myself going to bed around 10 or 11 and sleeping all night long. I usually fall asleep pretty quick too. Which I could never do. Usually took me an hour or two to finally pass out.
I have been taking belly pictures every week. There isn't much change yet, just want to take them to show how much I have changed week by week. Thought it would be a good idea.
Seth has been awesome through all of this. He gets me whatever I need. Tells me everything will be alright. He told me the other day that he loves me even more because I'm going through all of this morning sickness for his baby. So sweet! I love that man so much!!
