Nothing New

So not much to update on, I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow.  Been sleeping kinda crappy lately, I'm always tired but can't ever seem to fall asleep.  When I do get a good night's sleep though I do feel much more energetic, which is good.  I also feel like I'm always starving,... all I want to do is eat.  Dinner time is the worst, if I get too hungry, fair warning stay away I get MEAN. lol  All of a sudden today I decided to deep clean my house,... I think my nesting phase may have kicked in??  The dog hair has been completely driving me nuts!!  Andrew even vacuumed and cleaned out the car for me cause I was so annoyed by it.  I am in the process of taking a break from cleaning to eat some lunch and then I need to run to the store for some more cleaning supplies.  I really want one of the those steam vac's, I have heard really great things about them, and I think I would be more apt to mop more often if I had one but they are kind of expensive.  I wish carpet wasn't so expensive, I'd much rather vacuum than sweep and mop,... oh well.  Baby's room is painted, baby dresser is re-finished and just needs new knobs.  I feel like I should be doing more to get the baby's room ready, but there's nothing to do yet, cause we don't have anything!  I feel like the past few weeks have gone by fast, and so I feel like the due date is going to creep up on us and we're not going to be prepared,... but I guess maybe that's normal?  Tuesday I had my first experience with round ligament pain,.. that wasn't fun to say the least.  Don't want that to come back again anytime soon,...

Oh I almost forgot to add that I think I may have felt the first kick the other day.  Not sure if that's what it was or a muscle spasm, but it sure caught me off guard and made me jump.  It only happened the one time and hasn't happened since, so hopefully soon,...

Well I guess I'll leave you with another picture, I'll have more ultrasound pics in a couple weeks. Until then,..

18 weeks.

Time is flying by!

16 weeks today and counting,... time sure has flown by.  Only 4 more weeks and we'll be at the half way point!  crazy!  Soon we will be able to feel our little one moving and kicking =) and we can't wait!!  Sometimes I think I still feel some flutters but it's so hard to tell it apart from gas,...  it will be nice when I feel that first unmistakable kick, and Andrew can feel it too.  It will just be so reassuring to me to feel him/her move!  We had a checkup on Thursday, got to hear the heartbeat again.  Doc said it was around 145-150, which she said is great.  I know it's supposed to get lower as time goes, but it worries me every time that it's different.  At my last appointment, when we had my ultrasound, it was at 158.  It just seems like a big change in only 4 weeks time or however long it's been.  Anyway she said everything looked good =)

Baby's now the size of an avocado!
Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. (4.6 inches and 3.5 oz) - thebump.com

16 weeks,...and I feel huge already =(


I am still pretty tired,.. some days are better than others.  It seems though that the new bed has helped a lot.  I have had major mood swings, and my poor husband has been the only one in my war path =( (sorry babe).  He's being a good sport though, taking it all with a grain of salt and trying to help me and comfort me how he can.  Though I'm sure he's not going to be ready for this again anytime soon =P.  I gag really bad when I brush my teeth, and unfortunately my doctor said that's not going away,... It's worse in the morning when I have an empty stomach and I end up dry heaving, so I have been trying to make sure I have something, even if it's just a banana, in my stomach.  The past two nights, idk what it is,.. acid reflux or heartburn or what, but I burp a lot and get this weird burning sensation in my throat.  It's very uncomfortable.  I've also been getting really random singular hiccups, which I am rather entertained by, never had that happen before because if I hiccup, it's never been just one.

Oh and by the way, I am starting to gather addresses for shower invites.  I sent out a facebook email yesterday asking for them, if you didn't get one then I probably already have it.  My sister had a lot already that I needed from her shower.

Last weekend we went to the cottage at Stony Lake to enjoy our 4th of July weekend with some friends and family.  It turned out to be a really great weekend!!  We enjoyed some fireworks around the lake and I took some sunset pictures with my camera.  I will post them on FB when I can get them off my camera.  Unfortunately the camera that I have is not compatible with my computer, so I can't just hook it up and get them off, I have to take the card out and put it in Andrew's old computer.  But when we got home last weekend, his computer doesn't want to start up,... so not sure what to do, but I would like to get them posted so I can share them! Soon!

Hope everyone also had a great 4th of July weekend!  More updates to come soon!
