10 lbs…

So…Andy held my boobs up while I was on the scale….and it dropped TEN LBS!!!  Yes, my 36H girls are extremely heavy.  And I’m only 5 months, so what is it going to be like when I’m breast feeding???  Grrr… Why do they need to get so big?  It’s only one little baby!

Oh boy!

We’re having a boy! Saw it today on the 17 week ultrasound.  We seem to know it all along 🙂

Now I can start buying all of those cute shoes/clothes that I’ve been taking pix of!

Although I couldn’t really see the parts the ultrasound tech and doctor confirmed it! BOY!

133 bpm all looked good!

Been feeling little kicks i think last few days 🙂

body 17weeks

17 weeks- so close to halfway!

That’s crazy to think about!  Almost halfway!  Of course sometimes each week lasts an eternity, sometimes not.

I’m feeling things in my belly more and more.  I don’t recognize them so I assume it’s the baby.  Some feel like stretching, some feel like quick sharp pains, etc.  I’m still unable to find the heartbeat with the Baby Beat app i downloaded for $3.99 but I’m not going to get a doppler.  

We have an appointment for ultrasound on Monday so I can’t wait to see him/her then.  I hope we can see the sex!  I hear that if it’s a girl you should see 3 lines, but we’re pretty sure it’s a boy 🙂

 

Cramps in the night

So a couple of times now, I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with period like cramps.  No blood or other symptoms are associated with them, but it’s scary none the less.  The books I read say don’t worry about it unless they’re massive and there is blood.  So I’m going to sit tight for now…

Week 15

ImageWell, I’m a little late to post this week, but I was on vacation…Nice to have a little color, but WOW the sunburn factor during pregnancy is NO JOKE!  I went to the beach last week, wore 50 SPF and got fried to the point that I was uncomfortable for 2-3 days!  I guess that is a side affect for me.  I saw what the sun can do to your face if you don’t wear sunscreen every day from my sister in law.  SPF everyday for me!

Nausea is pretty much gone and fatigue is wearing off.  I get about 2-3 headaches a week, but not too bad.  Trying to make sure I drink enough water daily which is easier when I’m NOT sitting at my desk all day long…

Another 2 weeks until our ultrasound, so I’m excited for that!
