Week 14

Hello! I know I missed a week. Sorry! Ok, big news. We got an ultrasound last Thursday. It was the most amazing thing ever. The baby was moving like crazy! I told it it needed to stop that as omg, it is so weird that there is something moving inside of me and I can't feel it! It was also sucking it's thumb. I may or may not have told it to stop that as I am hoping not to have to spend thousands of dollars on braces:). Obviously, I was being sarcastic.

The moment we saw the wee one, we both fell in love. We have had two previous ultrasounds and they were both awesome, but this one looked and felt more real. Plus, I LOVE my ob. She calms all of my nerves, lets me ask all of my questions and doesn't rush me. She even told me that according to my, um, specimen, I am her rock star patient is who drinking more than a prefect amount of water! That made me feel good as I have really been working on that. I usually drink about a gallon a day but with such bad morning sickness it is hard to get even 64 oz in.

Ned came to my appointment. I love having him there as he makes sure all of the questions get asked and is not shy to ask them. Overall great appointment. They made a (very premature) guess on the sex. We are not saying anything, but it had us really excited!

I then went home and made it Facebook official. Now the world knows:). Ned also told his office. I came in the next day to give a present to someone and an hour later, I had told a huge crowd the whole story and just about everything anyone would want to know about me! haha. I was the entertainment that afternoon. It is such a great feeling to finally have people excited about something that has to do with my health!

This week is good. Just met with my asthma dr. I am still having issues from when I got sick in November, but we are taking care of it. A pain in the butt, but everything is very well controlled.

Ok, so here is the information

Symptoms- Feeling better! Still get very tired. I also sometimes feel my heart beating in my chest, but that's normal. I take my pulse and it's normal, so that's good. My nausea is subsiding. I had a bit last night, but it was a quick feeling. Still get nauseas while grocery shopping, but overall, much better! My belly feels like it may be getting bigger. The heartbeat is higher, so that means my uterus is moving into place. When I hear the heartbeat, you can tell the baby is moving around as it comes and goes.

Weight gain- 1.5 pounds...and so it begins!

Cravings- pretty much the same (Mexican and Asian). I am craving grapefruit and spinach as well, but that's it.

Overall, we are happy as can be and everything is going great! Have a wonderful weekend!
