Movement

I know its probably still early for me to really feel movement, but I can't help but think sometimes I feel it. Last night I had a dream that the baby was moving around like crazy.  Wouldn't it be cool if I was feeling the baby move in my sleep.  Can't wait until I can feel the baby move all the time, it is one of my favorite things about being pg.

Also JR told me that he will be okay if we have a girl.

Bad taste

So with this pg,  I have had a constant bad taste in my mouth.  I have been chewing gum almost constantly because of it, which helps.  Today I am 13 weeks and a couple of days and it is 10:34 am and I just realized I have no bad taste in my mouth.  I have yet to stick a piece of gum in my mouth.  I am so excited about this.  Maybe this means this is truly the beginning of the 2nd trimester for me.  So excited about this. What silly things excite a pregnant woman.

Heartbeat

Yesterday, I had another appointment and was able to hear the strong heartbeat of our little bean.  Mike came with me too.  I had to switch midwives because of insurance stuff, but I like this new one I met yesterday as well.  It finally feels real now, that I have heard the heartbeat. I never really doubted that anything was wrong, because I have been plenty sick to help me to now everything was going well. But it is still a wonderful reassurance that everything is going well, when you hear that fast little heartbeat.

My morning sickness is pretty much leaving, which I am so grateful for.  I am ready to be in the 2nd trimester and feeling great.  Other than that, there is not much to report.  Think I may have to start wearing maternity clothes soon, but still able to fit into my regular pants for now.

JR has been really cute about the idea of having another baby.  He keeps telling me that it is going to be a boy, and has been very interested in all things baby.  He will even watch A Baby Story or Bringing Home Baby with me on TLC while AJ is napping.

Now that we have heard the heartbeat, will probably start letting more people know about our happy news.

First Appointment

Today was my first appointment and everything went well.  I decided to go with a midwife clinic and I am really excited about it.  These midwives deliver in the hospital, but the care already seems quite a bit different.  It could just be that I was in a small town before and my dr. had to see so many patients.  I did like my dr. with the boys a lot, but I really like the midwife I met today.  The only problem is that you see all the midwives and then the one on call delivers your baby, but I don't think it will be too bad, because they give you a lot more care during your delivery, they just don't come to catch the baby.  I just hope I like all the midwives.  I have met two so far and like them both and there are 6, I think, in the clinic, so we will see.  I really like the one that saw me today.

I was a little disappointed that she couldn't hear the heartbeat, but it is still really early for that, and that baby is so low its hard to hear.  I am not too worried though.  I am still feeling sick, not throwing up as much, but I definitely have pg symptoms to keep me from worrying. Can't wait until the first trimester is over, and hopefully I will start feeling better and have more energy.

Sick, sick and more sick

So I have not been feeling well for the past week or so.  Part of it is the pregnancy, the other part I had a really bad head cold.  The cold is gone, but I still have the baby sickness.  I don't want to complain because it really isn't that bad, at least not as bad as I know some people get sick.  But it is the worse I have felt being pregnant.  I have thrown up a few times, but mostly I just feel sick to my stomach all the time, unless I am sleeping.  Food does not taste good to me at all, but I have to eat or it is worse.  I hate the fact that I can't enjoy eating right now.  I really, really hope it only lasts the first trimester, because I really like to eat.  When I was pg with JR, food tasted so good to me (which is probably why I gained 50lbs), but I loved to it.  I really want to get to that part of pg with this one.  Surely it will come, right?

I am also so exhausted all the time.  I know that too is part of early pg, but it's hard when I have 2 little boys to take care of that don't always let me rest.  But thankfully they are starting to play so well together, that sometimes I am able to lay down while they play with each other and I love that.  It is very cute to watch them play too.

I am sick of winter. I want the spring to be here. Not only will that mean I am in my 2nd trimester but hopefully the cold weather will leave and we can enjoy some warmth for a change.  I really miss the warm weather, I am so done with winter.

BFP!!!!

Still here

I do have say, I'm a little surprised that I haven't deleted this blog yet. I am now 4 days late and have still not tested. Part of the reason is that I do not have a pg test in the house.  I think I might pick one up this afternoon so I can test tmw morning.  I am still in awe that I could possibly get pg this easily, but I really think I am.  Trying to decide if I should just tell Mike that I suspect I am pg, or if I should wait for a positive test.  So excited about the possibility that this is for real.
