Update 07/21/11

How far along: 19 weeks Size of baby: The size of a mango Maternity Clothes: I haven't bought anything new since my last online shopping spree but I am loving my maternity clothes. Gender: Still unknown!! Find out August 1st! 11 days! Movement: Although the baby is moving around in there, I still can't feel a thing as far as I know. I should start to feel her moving soon. What I miss: My energy! I am still so very tired. Cravings: Mostly carbs like potatoes, cheese fries, pasta, cheddar gold fish and still sweets! Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time but I haven't been having too much trouble with headaches. I am still very moody and my ankles swell up at the drop of a hat. We are still waiting to feel this baby move!! I have not felt any movement yet, that I'm aware of. I think we are both overly excited for that. No baby movement = me more anxious to get to my next appointment and make sure everything is ok in there! Aside from the terrible mood swings a...

Update 06/23/11

How far along: 15 weeks Size of baby: Size of an apple Maternity Clothes: I haven't bought any new maternity clothes since my last shopping trip. I have found a dress or two in my closet that are actually perfect for me right now though! Gender: Still unknown!! Movement: Although the baby is moving around in there, I still can't feel a thing as far as I know. What I miss: My energy! I am still so very tired. Cravings: Spaghetti, chips, cheese curls, sweets! Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time and I am still getting headaches. This past week has been worse than most because I have been feeling sick every morning and Monday morning I even threw up my bagel! I hope this isn't a sign of things to come :( I haven't been feeling well at all this past week. Breakfast has become a thing of the past since I threw up my routine bagel on Monday. Not sure what's going on with that but I'm sure it's all part of the process. Fortunately it's only been i...

Our First Appointment 05/16/11

How far along: 9 weeks Size of baby: Size of a grape Maternity Clothes: Not yet, although things are getting tight. Gender: Unknown at this point Movement: Although the baby is moving around in there, I still can't feel a thing. What I miss: My energy! Cravings: Not too many so far. Mostly sweets! Symptoms: So far so good. Really just tired a lot and very grouchy! I'm lucky to have only had one or two bad days where I felt terrible overall. No morning sickness! We went for our first Doctor's appointment on May 16, 2011. We live in the Reading, PA area and so we chose Dr. Heidi Streib for the first visit. The office is small but the staff is friendly and Dr. Streib is better than anyone I could have imagined so far. The first visit was pretty easy. We were given a wealth of information on what to expect, how to get to the maternity section of our local hospital, what kinds of medications I can and can't have. Anything you want to know about having a baby...you get at you...
