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!!

Time for a belly pic

It's been a couple weeks, so here's one from this morning. I'm 13 weeks 4 days today!

Ultrasound!!

We went to a place called A Little Insight, just for a "fun" ultrasound so the kids could see. My mom came, and Landon was there, of course. The tech said the earliest they've been able to tell gender was 14 weeks, and I was 13 weeks 1 day that day. About 5 minutes into it, she tells me she thinks we have a BOY! So she looks around some more, the baby is moving around and sure enough - boy parts!! There's NO question at all!!

Here's a couple pictures from the ultrasound:

Already?!

It's been a week already? Where is the time going?

I feel better as far as the nausea goes - we'll see if it STAYS that way. Like I've said before, I'm not holding my breath! I'm getting nerve pain in my arms, but the doc isn't sure what it's from. If it's still happening by my next appointment, they want to do some nerve testing. I don't know what that entails, but it can't be enjoyable. I'm getting headaches quite frequently now, but that's just part of being pregnant - comforting, right? LOL!

I did a photoshoot for a friend yesterday, who has cancer...well, she HAD cancer - she just got done with chemo, and they say the cancer is gone and now it's just about sustaining. She starts radiation in a couple weeks, so hopefully after that, she'll be completely D O N E!

Anyway, that's been my week. I'll be taking belly pics tomorrow. I skipped a week, and I figured I'd do them every couple weeks now. Growth isn't as drastic every week now - thank goodness haha - so every 2-3 weeks I'll take one!
