17 Week Bumpdate




Today's appointment was a quick one since it was just a standard check up.  These are the kind of appointments I like.  In and out!

The heart rate today was 156, much lower than the last time.  I thought that I had felt a few little kicks a week or so ago but I haven't felt that since so I'm not sure if that's what it was.  I can't wait to start feeling the little kicks and jabs.

I have finally used up the reserve of 4 or 5 pounds that I had lost and am even keel with were I started when I found out I was pregnant.  So, all weight gained from here on out will be plus pounds. 

The morning sickness has finally subsided.  I haven't gotten sick in probably two weeks.  That's good and bad because I have noticed an ever growing appetite!  Now we have the heartburn, headaches and backaches to deal with.  All much better than the morning sickness!

I am still more tired than ever before.  I am really trying to make it to bed earlier but that's so hard to do sometimes.

I have only been craving things on occasion.  The biggest craving is chocolate milk and we have some in the house at all times.   

Last update, I had mentioned that I had a feeling this one is a boy but after the past few weeks, I'm going back to my original prediction and saying girl.  The good news is that we will find out in exactly 12 days!!!!!  The gender ultrasound is scheduled for April 9th.   

Don't forget to vote! Boy or Girl?!

Next update in 2 weeks!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
