Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything. Symptoms: A lot of aches and pains going on but nothing serious! UGH! Where has all of my energy gone?! I was feeling pretty good for a while. The mixture of cooler weather and my Little Miss kickboxing really lifted my moods. But now I feel like all of my energy has just been zapped out of me! It doesn't help that I have been sick with a cold for 2 weeks but still. I have been getting PLENTY of sleep and have been drinking a ton of water. I just have NO ENERGY! I'm also getting more and more nervous as the days pass on. My husband said to me last night, "I just don't think you're going to make it to December. Actually, I don't think you're going to make it to the baby shower!" WHAT?! He says he has a feeling that ...

I'm disappointed because I thought I was getting an ultrasound today but I didn't. I was looking forward to seeing how big my little monster is! My husband asked if we missed one because he thought it was today too and the receptionist said no. She said she would put us in for one so we will see if she does. I go back in 2 weeks! Looks like everything is measuring properly and I only gained 2 pounds! Her heart rate was 145 today. The only thing I have to do is take 2 iron pills instead of one. I think I can handle that! I'm still feeling pretty good, aside from being tired and aside from being sick....

I realized today that I'm actually due on a Tuesday so I will be doing my updates on Tuesdays from now on! I haven't had too much going on in the past week so there isn't much to update. I've been feeling pretty good which is a nice change from how I was a few weeks ago. Little Miss is kicking pretty much all of the time now! I'm realizing more and more every day that this due date is getting closer and closer and I think my nesting is going to kick in soon! I'm getting nervous because our house isn't even close to being finished a...

Ok, so let me start by saying that it wasn't as creepy as I thought it was going to be. I mean, it's still creepy to see the face of my baby before she is born but it wasn't that bad. Now I'm anxious to see what similarities I will find between her and the pictures. We went to Womb With a View on Saturday, September 24th to have the ultrasound done. My husband, mother and nephew went with. My nephew is 9 and he was very excited to see his 'alien cousin', as he kept calling her. It was a cute place and the two women who helped us were very nice and very easy going. It was very relaxing just like the website said it would be. They have lot of package options to choose from. So once we filled out the paperwork and chose our package, we headed back to the ultrasound room. It was almost like a living room. It had a nice sized couch and some chairs that faced a big screen TV so that everyone could watch. There were a bunch of toys on the floor too so after my nephew ...

Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time, no headaches, ankles swell all of the time, heartburn and backaches are the worst! I'm very grouchy today so this will probably be short. Today's appointment was just a regular check up. Heart rate was 142. On paper, the doctor is still measuring me at 23 weeks 5 days, even though my last ultrasound put me a week ahead. So I'm sticking with the week ahead! As far as symptoms go, still tired all of the time. The backaches are probably the worst sympto...

Cravings: Spaghetti, cheese curls, sweets! Symptoms: I'm still tired a lot and the headaches are coming more frequently. July 5th is the next checkup and it seems like it's FOREVER away! I'm a little dissapointed because the next appointment is not for an ultrasound, it's just a regular check up. At the next checkup, I will be just about 17 weeks and I was hoping for an ultrasound so that we could find out the sex of the baby right away. They say I have to wait until August 1st for that! I can't wait to find out what the little monster is! I'm so hoping it's a little girl but then we have to face the name dilemma. My husband has turned his...

Symptoms: I'm still tired a lot but the grouchiness is going away. Still no morning sickness! Woo hoo!! Our second appointment was on June 6, 2011, the day after my older sister's birthday. Since today was the day we were going to have the first ultrasound, my husband and I decided that today was also the day we would tell the world about our little baby. To this point, we had really only told some family members and close friends. This appointment was much easier than the first one. The nurse squirted some warm liquid on my belly and began the ultrasound. What an amazing sight! We could see a lot of our baby's little features...
