16 Weeks

Yes, again I am late on my 16 week post.

16 weeks ~ 4 months! WOW!!! This pregnancy is going by quickly, and there is still so much to look forward to. The most exciting news is that I felt my little pumpkin move for the very first time on Monday, April 19. I was squatting in front of my closet picking out a pair of shoes when I felt the first little "flutter". That's the best way I know how to describe it. It was wonderful. In the last week I've felt a few more little movements here & there. It' pretty cool. I love it!!!

15 Weeks

I am 15 weeks today! Yeah! Moving right along quite nicely :o)

I went shopping last weekend and bought a few new maternity clothes. I have a small stockpile of clothes that were passed on to me. Some fit great & some I've just tucked away again. But it's always nice to get a few things of your own. So, I bought a pair of jeans, a pair of khakis, 2 tank tops, 3 shirts, a new Bella Band, and what I thought was a dress, but really turned out to be a swim cover-up. LOL! I kept it anyway. It'll come in handy this summer.

My next appt. was scheduled for the 27th, but I got a phone call yesterday & all the midwives will be in a mandatory meeting, so I had to move it. Since I'll be out of town shortly after I've rescheduled for the 6th of May. At that appt. I should be able to schedule my ultrasound appt. We're excited and anxious to find out what we're having, but we're still looking at 4-5 weeks out. Just like everything else, that day will come quickly.

Week 14 - ♥

Well, today was the day! We heard our baby's heartbeat for the very first time! I am still on a high from it. It was so amazing. I was expecting it to take a while, that she would have to search a bit. Nope! Not at all, it was right there when she put the doppler down on my tummy. Baby was moving around a lot, so it started out loud, and then you could hear it get quite, then louder again. It was so great! What a great day! :o)

13 Weeks

Again, behind the ball on my posts. I'll be 14 weeks in 2 days! But I'll have stuff to post on Thursday, as I have another Dr. appt. & am hoping to hear the heartbeat. It is so frustrating not fitting in my clothes! My regular clothes have become too uncomfortable to wear, and the maternity clothes that I do have are still too big. I bought a Bella Band, and I do love it. It helps for the most part. I need to go get another one though b/c I wear this like almost every day. I'm also ready to go shopping for some maternity clothes. What I have was either mine from when I was prego w/ Brielle, or has been passed down to me. Some of the clothes are great, but I having a really hard time w/ the jeans. I heard that Old Navy has good maternity jeans, so I think I'm going to start there. I'm definitely to that point now though where there is no mistaking that I'm pregnant. I'm feeling like if people had doubts before whether or not I was prego or just putting on some pounds, I think they're seeing me & saying "Yep! She's pregnant!" At least I hope that's how it's going. I guess if not now it won't be long before they start figuring it out. LOL!

Well, I'll write more on Thursday. It should be a big day for us either way. We'll either hear the heartbeat or get an ultrasound. So at least I feel like something will be going on.

12 weeks

Okay, so I'm oh so very behind in posting. Here's my 12 week post & I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow. So let's see, what happened in week #12? Well, all is pretty much the same I guess. The nausea came back a some. I don't know what's up w/ that! I had an appt. w/ my midwife. There are 5 of them at this clinic & I met a new one. I don't think I care for her as much as I did the first one. Seems like everytime there is at least one that isn't my favorite. I think she's the one. Although, I haven't met the other 3 yet either. I hope I like them more. The biggest bummer was that we still weren't able to hear the heartbeat! :o( She said she wasn't concerned, but I'm going back next week & if we don't hear it by then they'll send me off to an ultrasound. I hope everything is okay. I'm sure it is, but I'm still super bummed that I still haven't heard my baby.

11 Weeks! Yeah!

Today is week 11. I thought the morning sickness was gone, but low & behold it came back yesterday & today. Hopefully it decides to go away & stay away! Only one more week until the end of my 1st trimester. 1/3 of the way through. So exciting. My next appt. w/ my midwife is on Wednesday (3/24). I'm really hoping to get to hear the heartbeat. I haven't heard it yet, so I really need this. I mean really ~ I need to hear my baby. Since I haven't heard or seen anything yet. I don't know how much weight I've put on, but I think I've put on more than I need to at this point. Thank goodness the weather is getting nicer. It makes it easier to get out there & walk during my lunch & breaks at work. Still, I need to step it up a little more. I'm so ready to have my energy back! I'm also thinking about adding in some prenatal yoga. Might be good for my mental status as well. LOL!!!

Week 10

I am so tired, but I'm going to get this post out...and then time for bed!

Not really anything new to report as far as the pregnancy goes. My next appt. is in 2 more weeks. I'm so hoping to be able to hear the heartbeat. I really need to hear it. Mindy came over earlier this week & was able to borrow the (what is it called anyway?), the thing that allows you to listen to baby's heartbeat. We tried, but could only hear mine. It is still early, but still, I just want to hear my baby!

Overall today was a pretty good day. It's my mom's birthday & I finally got to give her the Blazer tickets I bought from Jenna. I can't wait to go to the game w/ her next weekend. We also got our baseball tickets online today. They had an advanced ticket sale online at noon. I think we'll enjoy our seats this year. A little higher up & cheaper than the past years, but that's okay. One of these years we'll splurge. It's just fun to be there. Oh, for those of you who don't know how much of a Yankees fan I am, we go up to Seattle every year to watch the Yankees play the Mariners. We didn't go last year because of the wedding. Of course I've already been scoping out clothes for my new little Yankees fan! Can't wait to put him/her in their new outfit. You can believe that there will be one waiting when they get home. :o)

Until next time...Good night ya'll
