New Belly Pics!

It's been a while since I posted a belly growth picture, so I figured it was a good time. Lots of growth in the past week and my belly is getting really hard. I think I'm carrying low so far - we'll see how it progresses in the next few weeks.

Here's today, 17 weeks 1 day!

Um, WOW!!

Well, 17 weeks already - where is the time going? It's time for another belly picture, as it's been a while! I'll get that done today sometime and update the blog again!

The morning sickness is still with me, but not as often. Now, I'm just feeling all of the aches and stretching. The baby moves all the time, and I swear he's doing some acrobatics in there! It's not the "flutters" that everyone says they get - and that I got with the first two - it's ROLLING and pressure and I always ask him, "Holy crap what ARE you doing in there?" We'll see what he's like when he starts running out of room! Ha!

I've gained only 4 pounds so far, so I'm doing great!

Burn Baby, Burn...

My stomach that is. I can't get rid of this heartburn and indigestion! I'm sure the doc will put me on something when I go this Thursday. It's way too frequent and nothing helps anymore! I have been taking Maalox, even the extra strength kind and I get relief for about 20 minutes. I try and stay away from acidy/spicy things, but the simplest things cause it, so there's no use.

Oh well....5 1/2 more months.

If it's not one thing, it's another!

Finally, I start to feel pretty darn good - then I get a head cold. Which turns into puking yesterday. I called the doc's office, and they had me come in. The doctor I saw (not my regular OB) wanted me to stay and get some IV fluids. It took two bags before I felt better!! My regular OB doc happened to walk by the door before I got the IV, and she asked what the heck I was doing there, so I explained. She came to check on me later, too so that was great. The doc I had last night was really great, too. With all the issues we've had with the Military hospital, it's nice to actually have some good docs/nurses/techs that take care of you. It makes all of the other BS worth it!

So rest for me today, but I'm feeling much better! Landon took the day off to take the kids to school and back....he also informed me that when he got home, he'd make breakfast!!
