21 Weeks :)

I decided to get back on track as far as the days that my weeks change :) So today I am 21 weeks. In the beginning of pregnancy its "fun" to see all the symptom changes week to week and SO much changes with the baby every week in the beginning. However now its just all about baby getting bigger, fatter and stronger.

I still get nauseous here and there and dry heave some mornings, sorry TMI. But mainly now its the dull aches that are my only symptom. There is a lot of stretching going on in there and you can definitely feel it some days more than others. Today its my high right side but could be gas too :-P lol....

We have our anatomy ultrasound on Tuesday and I am freaking out! I am so nervous and excited. I feel our little person stronger all the time and can see it on the outside of my belly :) Its fun but stressful because now I monitor movements all day and I am a super obsessive person lol. But baby is strong and I can feel he or she is doing well :) So we only have 19 more weeks to go!

20 Weeks!

As of Thursday I am 20 weeks pregnant :) You can really tell I am showing now and the little one moves and kicks often throughout the day. I am so excited to be half way through my pregnancy! So now the countdown truly begins. Every week we are closer! We have our anatomy scan on May 3rd and we are kind of going crazy waiting for it! Then we will know if we are team pink or blue! It was a beautiful Easter weekend with our families and I enjoy every minute I am expecting and sharing the experience with my family :) So far Laura and JP are the only ones who have felt the baby kick!

19 Weeks

So we hit 19 weeks on Thursday and my belly has finally popped out! Ive been waiting forever it seems haha. Been feeling baby move pretty regularly, some days more than others but its all normal I guess. We are almost half way!! woo hoo!!

18 Weeks

So I hit 18 weeks on Thursday! :) i have been feeling the movement getting a little stronger but still waiting for it to get regular, but that wont be for another month or so. I had a check up at my OB office and heard baby's heartbeat which was 140 bpm. We also discussed the beginnings of a birth plan. I am getting pretty serious about a natural childbirth, No meds no epidural. Not because you get some award for this, I am just paranoid about risks and don't want to take any risks at all. It will be hard but its time to start preparing mentally now! I originally lost 9lbs in my first trimester but have gained 4 back since my last appt. So hopefully it will stay at this steady rate :) As for a bump everyone wants pictures but its just not very obvious yet.When I "pop" out then a picture will come up :)

17 Weeks! :)

Every week that we reach the next number feels like such a milestone. I went on vacation with my mom and sisters this week to Texas to see my grandpa and have been feeling a lot more movement. Especially the last couple days. Feels like a little pop and squirm. Today when JP and I were vegging out on the couch I started feeling pretty strong pokes and its always in the same area which is still pretty low. I grabbed his fingers to see if he could feel and he got kicked too and we both jumped! haha it was such a cool experience to share with him. I can only imagine that they are going to get stronger and more often in the weeks to come.
