Well today I am 16 weeks pregnant, and boy have I had a hard time. The morning sickness (that lasts all day and all night) has not let up even a little. I already had to be admitted to the hospital once because I was so dehydrated. I also had a bladder infection, a UTI and a kidney infection all at the same time. It was not enjoyable at all.

I have my first appointment with my ob/gyn on Dec 5, and I can wait. All I really want to do is make an appoitment for my next ultrasound, so we can find out the sex. I feel like it is a girl, but my other half thinks it is a boy. I just want to know so badly!!!

I'm really hoping that the sickness will go away soon! Also, I just started having heartburn the last couple days, and I really don't want to experience that much more. It hurts quite a bit. I feel like my throat is literally on fire!! Sometimes I think that I am feeling movement, but then other times I think I"m probably just wishing I could feel movement and that my mind is playing tricks on me.

Well we just saw the ob/gyn today and we now have to wait until Dec. 18 to find out the sex. I"m so excited to know what it is. And thankfully, it is right before Christmas, so hopefully we can get some early baby Christmas presents. I'm pretty sure now that I feel movement now. The ob told me today that the baby's comfortable position, is with his/her feet smooshed into my bladder. Trust me, it is very uncomfortable!!!!!
