09-4-2008 - week 16 and beyond

My mood while writing this blog: content

Scheduled my FIRST ultrasound today. It is next Fri. Seems like I'm the last one to gt one. Around here they dont give them until week 20 unless there is a reason to but I told my doc I'm getting anxious so she said ok, lets get you one next week. YAY! Hopefully we can tell the sex! Please oh please. I so wanna know. Well, I've been feelin fine. Still tired but not all the time. My chest is at least one size bigger, maybe 2 now. Thats kinda fun as I was an A to start. Ive been pretty iritated with things but not all the time. Mostly my hubby, poor guy. He wants to skip town, lol. I've convinced myself its a boy all this time because I've always wanted a girl (typical) and I dont want to be disappointed. So, If its a girl I think I will be pleasantly suprised but I dont want to get my hopes up so as far as Im concerned, Its a boy. Not much else to say, so ttyl.

Week 17

2 more days til my ultrasound.......... time is kinda crawling now cause I cant wait. I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know. So impatient now. My belt is starting to get tight. My pants might not fit much longer. I can punch another hole in my belt maybe. Hmm... . I am having a hard time being disciplined in my diet. I am eating good but a little too much fat and I just having to get disciplined again. Its just that I really want the ranch, sour cream, etc.... I eat light ranch and light sour cream but it still adds up to too much fat. I think quantitiy is an issue too. I eat alot. I could probably eat less and be fine, I'm just loving food darn it. "Pease God help me to not be a cow, moooooo" (lol).

Still no movement. I haven't seen or felt my baby yet so I cant wait for Friday. I just want to be able to put more of an identity with my baby. I want to know if I have a son or daughter. I'm so excited. "Please God let it be healthy and perfect, amen."

Week 18
ITS A BABY GIRL!
I am on a cloud. I wanted a girl so much that I convinced myself it was a boy to be safe. Wow! I cant believe God gave me a girl. Almost speachless. So grateful! Wow, Wow, Wow. Thank You God!

Still Week 18 - Up 10 (was 15 last week)

I just wanted to say that after looking at everyones pics, I realize I am actually not huge. But I still feel really big for me its just that my pics dont agree in comparison to the norm. I think all the big bellies out there are really cute though. I actually feel alot better now because I am down a few lbs since last week. I had gained 15 lbs already and was not happy about it and now I'm back down to a 10 lb gain (SO HAPPY)! So Im back to 139 which i think is about normal for now. I just started eating more fruit, veggies and protein and cut back on white flour and potatoes. And wa la, what do you know, it worked. Yay, I'm so happy! I'm even eating my ranch dressing. Still no movement, any day now!

Week 19

Still no movement...... oh the suspense! Any day now. Feeling pretty good. Once in a while I get a dizzy, heatflash, about to pass out sensation for a min and then it goes away........strange. Had another cheese fest the other day(days).....ooops! I actually went and bought an 8 ounce piece of cheddar cheese and ate it all in one day! ooopsie. Now Im back up to 142 again, gotta be good again for a few days. If I sound obsessed with my weight you are probably right but if I stop trying I will blimp out like a snowball hurling down the mountain so dont tell me to relax about it cause if I do you better hope I dont come rolling up behind you,lol, squash, there youd be , flat as a pancake wondering what the heck happened, lol.

Started reading a new book called "momzillas" by Jill Kargman. Its pretty entertaining. Its a work of fiction about Manhattans upper east side scene of highly educated and extremely wealthy women who throw themselves and all of their resouces into being full-time moms- to hilrious and often frightening effect. Pretty crazy stuff!

Week 21

Mothers day 5-11-08

Well my sweetie started kicking day 1 of week 20 so 1 week ago today. It was awesome! I love it. I always look forward to her kicks, it is so sweet. Happy Mothers Day to all of you mommies out there. My sweetie kicked in church today. I need to get a current pic to post. My belly is coming along. I am loving my belly!

Week 22

5-15-08

Its been a long day, Yay, its friday! Im layin gon the couch feeling my little girl moving. Now I can find her by poking around, wow! Being pregnant is the coolest thing! I am amazed all the time. I love just feeling her move. (unless I need to pee:) My puppy is begging me to play with him so I'll write more later, bye.

Week 23

5-24-08

TGI Saturday! Still love feeling her move. Tired today. My work pants wont button anymore and lucky for me someone showed my the hair tie trick. Use a ponytail holder to loop your button hole to your button. Yay! Just in time cause I dont want to try to find maternity pants if I dont have to. I have one pair that are jeans that were given to me but dress pants are a different matter. I like my pants to look a certain way and haven't run into any good maternity dress pants yet. I'm up 20 lbs now! Eeek. I'm not as obsessed with my weight as I was but still very aware and trying. Costco has this huge chocolate cake that I've been curious about and tempted to buy for a long time so finally I caved and bought it and had to give it away on the 3rd day as I wouldnt stop eating it, mmmm.

Still loving being pregnant. I think about it all the time and am fascinated with my belly. Love the belly! I still haven't found a name Brad and I both like. He is ok with one of my choices but not particularly fond of it so we'll use that name if nothing better comes up. I really like it but am open to ideas.
