JULY 18 UPDATE!!!
Went to my 38 week appointment and Riley is breeched. Doctor also says hes well over 8lbs. (My doctor has over 40 years experiance). I have an appt on Monday the 21 to see if he has flipped but if not I will likely get a C-Section on Wednesday. Its both exciting and scary. I want my baby so bad but a little nervous about the surgery, but I think everything will be fine. :)

JUNE 27 UPDATE!!!
So I will be induced at 39 weeks if my body is ready. I am due July 30, but I start school August 18. So my doctor and I discussed my options and both came to the conclusion that being induced (body willing) would be best so I can establish breastfeeding and learn his routines. I am so excited! I could have my baby boy in four weeks (or less if he decides to come out on his own).

BABY NEWS
So we found out at 13 weeks that it looked like a boy and it was confirmed at my 20 week ultrasound. He is doing well and growing at a good rate. He's quite active especially when I am laying down for bed.

BABY COUNTDOWN!

PREGNANCY
I had very difficult first trimester and was drained by nausea and fatigue and wasn't able to work or continue my schooling. Thankfully I am doing much better and just waiting for my due date.
I've been sure to do plenty of reading so I know what to expect with my body. It's till hard to accept the changes though. I have never had dental problems, not even a cavity and to discover I had gingavitis was not welcomed news. It was very painful and not pleasent to overcome but my gums are doing much better with using a soft toothbrush and mouthwash twice a day.
I was a size 8 before I was pregnant and now wear a 10 as long as they are low rise otherwise a 12/14 fits around my belly.
My skin hasn't been very good to me but I think I have finally figured out a routine to keep my skin mostly blemish free. Strech marks-not pleasent to see on my breasts but thankfully thats the only place they've shown up at. I have gone from a 36B to a 40C and know they will get bigger so that means more stretch marks. I can't really find a comfy bra besides my sports bras.
My innie belly button is now a half innie-half outtie. I was having discomforts with my belly button piercing but changed it from a bar to a ring and it's so much better.
Other than the physical changes not much has changed for me. No ubrupt mood swings, I'm generally happy anyways. I have turned slighly picky on what I want to eat. Haven't been a big fan of meat during my pregnancy. No wierd cravings but sometimes I want something very specific like Special K with red berries or chocolate frozen yogurt, neither I was accustomed to eating.
Sleeping is more difficult as my pregnacy progresses. My hips have been the worst. Sometimes I get back spasms if I have been walking or standing for a bit.
I was feeling bad about my self image with the weight gain, buddah belly, and my skin not behaving but got a hair cut and did at home highlights which really boosted my self-esteem.
