Half Way There!!!!

20 weeks and counting,... we are at the half way point!! 4.5 more months to go (give or take).  Been feeling good, nothing really to complain about other than every time I take a belly picture to share I feel huge,... I'm starting to regret sharing them lol.  I don't feel that big until I see it in the picture,... I know everyone grows different and carries different, but holy moly, should I be this big already??!!  I get heartburn/indigestion a lot, no matter what I eat, which is a pain in the butt, but I take some tums or chew some gum and it gets a little better.

We had a Dr. appointment and ultrasound on Thursday.  Everything is looking good, baby is growing right on track.  Weighed 13 oz and I don't remember how long.  U/S tech said we are right in where we should be.  They couldn't get a clear look at all 4 chambers of the heart, so we get to go back again for another u/s in 4 weeks and I am so excited!! I love seeing the baby!!  When we first got there the baby must have been sleeping, because he/she was all curled up in the fetal position laying still.  When the u/s tech started prodding with the wand the baby started squirming around some more.  Even if we had wanted to know the gender (which we don't) we would not of been able to find out cause baby had it's legs crossed.  He/she also had their hands up by their head like they were trying to cover their ears and tell us to be quiet LOL.  The u/s tech did say that my placenta is "anterior", that it's more in the front so it may take a little longer to feel those big kicks.  That made me feel a little better since I've still been only feel light movement.  I've heard that once the baby gets to be about a pound is when they are big enough to kick hard enough through all that extra padding the placenta provides.  So another couple weeks,... give or take.

Woke up this morning feeling stuffy and sneezy, my sinuses are draining and irritating my throat =/.  I was gonna do some shopping today, but I feel like poo so I'm not going anywhere. Staying home and resting. 

We have one big item out of the way!!  Andrew's parents bought us our crib!!  yay!!  One less thing to worry about.  Now, to get Andrew to put it together =P.

Here's some pictures, enjoy!!

  3. Are you taking anything for the heartburn? I had to take prevacid (or prilosec I can't remember which) and Zantac both. I had the worst heartburn and could never find any relief. I had to avoid a lot of foods and eat small amounts through out the day. A lot of people also say eating mangos helps, something about the enzymes in mangos neutralizing the stomach acid. I hope you find some relief from the heartburn.

  4. it doesn't seem to matter what I eat, it comes when it wants lol. I take some tums or I chew some gum and those both help. I may have to try the mangos, thanks for the tip! I haven't had any heartburn in a few days, so hopefully it stays away LOL
