Tidbits

- Michael felt the baby kick from the outside for the first time today. I did last Sunday but haven't really since then until yesterday morning.

- Kicks are still sporadic, some days I feel it often, some days I don't. Sometimes I feel it the most only when I'm laying down, other times I can feel it sitting up.

- I feel like the animals are starting to know. Babies too. A baby today was very crabby and mean to everyone but kissed me goodbye out of nowhere. Hemi has been extremely nice and Bogart is way more careful about avoiding my tummy. Hemi follows me everywhere.

- My back hurts very easily while I'm sitting down. Sucks.

- My gums are starting to swell and sometimes bleed (it's normal, but not good).

- My appetite is slowly getting larger.

- Sometimes I'll be completely fine with not having to pee and then baby moves and BAM it feels like I'm bout to piss my pants! Theres never even that much pee, it sucks when that happens!

Cravings: double chocolate brownie fudge type ice creams

Finally really excited!

As sad as this is to admit, Mike had been looking at more baby clothes than me until Friday. Friday, I finally got super excited. Its the most random thing but I heard of a kohls coupon code so I decided to look at the baby stuff. I saw these cute long sleeve onesies (since baby will be here in November) and for some reason I just got SUPER excited!! I bought the following:

I thought these were sort of cute

The pants match all of these shirts

AND MY FAV/MOST IMPRACTICAL

Sonogram pic- 16 weeks

You can't tell, but his hand is over his nose/mouth and thats why he looks like a duck. I will get another ultrasound done around 20 weeks, where his bones will be more ossified and I believe he will have thicker skin. Hopefully I can see his face better!

Cruise was wonderful

I am too lazy to post pics, but they are on the internet! Here is a pic that I took last night, not a great one, and I am not as big as I look in the picture, but alas, here is my baby bump.

Also, I may be able to find out the sex tomorrow at 16 weeks! I will be going in for an ultrasound for something else, but they may be able to see! Keep your fingers crossed!

Official 2nd trimester!

Baby is the size of the lemon. Last week it was making faces and now its liver and kidney functions are working. There is also fine hair growing on the body for warmth! One more month until I know the sex!

I counted it being second trimester last week, but some things say 14 weeks. Whatevs. It's still not completely real sometimes. It's still scary. I'll be aiight.

In other news, still no job. I really gotta find one before I start showing. Or when I get the job I'll have to tell them. Shit sucks! I hope something comes about soon. In the mean time, I'm waiting for my package from shady grove to see how I can volunteer there.

Zzzzzzzz

Man, if I thought I had the itis before, now I have elphantitis of the itis! I will eat dinner and my eyes just become so heavy. It's quite the phenomenon. It's almost as if I'm on a drug and it hits, it's very strange.

In other news, I can't believe that Thursday I will be 4 months pregnant. That is INSANE to me! It's still not real sometimes. It's hard to explain. I mean, you have no more free thought, it's always in your head the second you wake up in the middle of the night or the second your alarm goes off. But at the same time it's still not real.

Boring Blog?

Maaan, this blog might be more boring than I thought. I went to get an "ultrasound," or so I thought. Turned out we heard the babys heart beat and I won't get an ultrasound until 18-20 weeks. Heartbeat was exciting, it was just I expected to see little one and I was really excited. Oh well!

No new news. Lately, meat pretty much grosses me out. I don't ever really feel like eating anything. The best example I can give explaining this is, you know when someone says do you feel like pizza and you don't? Well thats how I feel towards everything lately, pretty much.....except iranian food, and pizza. People ask me if I crave anything, and I don't except I guess pizza so far.

That is all for now :)
