18 weeks 3 days - "19 week" ultrasound

For some reason I'm having trouble typing today. My fingers just aren't working right. Good thing I have pics to fill this post!!!

We had our "19 week" ultrasound today. Our tech was new to obstetrical ultrasound, having spent the first part of her career looking at livers and kidneys. So she had to take her time, which was nice, actually. She was really sweet. And now, without further ado, here's all 18 weeks and 3 days of Trouble:

Hand on chin

Alien baby

There were two other pics that they gave us, but they're just variations of the above two pics. I wish they had printed the pic of the feet. That was the sweetest ultrasound pic I've ever seen. Sad panda. Overall it was great though. My placenta is fundal and a bit posterior, so that's good news. Baby is breech, but there's still plenty of time to turn. I'm going to make a doctor's appointment for some time in the next couple of weeks and hopefully there won't be any surprises in the ultrasound report.

Oddly enough, I still really don't feel pregnant. Baby still isn't moving much (though I'm getting a few jabs here and there). He or she is definitely more chill than Jesse. At Jesse's 19 week ultrasound he was doing log rolls and would not stop moving. This baby will totally calm and relaxed. I'm hoping the movement pics up soon so I can stop worrying so much!

17 weeks 6 days - WIGGLES!

I'm happy to say that I'm now absolutely certain I'm feeling baby wiggles! About damn time! It's definitely helping me not feel too sorry for myself right now....I'm on day two of a really friggin horrible headache (migraine?).

ExpectNet Game

I have a link posted to my ExpectNet Game to the right on this blog. Please post a guess!!! It was so fun with Jesse. Of course, with him, no one came close. The point totals were hilarious due to the fact that he was so far postdates.

So, feel free to click and have at it. :)

Ugh

How do you "do" pregnancy with a toddler?! Seriously! Jesse is gonna have me killed! I think the kiddo knows EXACTLY where my round ligaments are and knows how to kick/punch/headbutt/steamroll over me to activate that intense pulling pain that I just can't stand!!! Does bedtime really have to be this painful?

17 weeks 1 day - Belly pic update

Finally!!!

My 3 week pic is actually my 1 week progress update pic from the 30 Day Shred. I'd just lost 8 lbs!!! I think I got my first positive test the next day...can't remember for sure though. Anyhow, here they are:

I guess I'm looking more pregnant than I thought. Funny, because I don't really feel very pregnant at all.

17 weeks - appt update

I had my "16 week" appt yesterday with the GP resident, Dr. B (I'm not even going to attempt to spell her name...it's French). It went well. I'm measuring 17 weeks and Trouble's heartrate was in the 140s. No weight gain yet. Blood pressure was fine, though a tad up from the last appt...which was to be expected considering I had to bring Jesse with me. They were fabulous about him being there though. When he wouldn't sit still for me to talk to Dr. B or get the exam done, Dr. B took him out to the receptionists and they and the Public Health Nurse there kept him occupied for me. And they seemed happy to do so. What a complete 180 from my regular GPs office. I also mentioned that I'm not sure that I've even felt this baby move yet. Every time I think I have, it ends up just being gas. She reassured me that the average is about 18 weeks, so it's nothing to worry about. I have to keep telling myself that Jesse was just an incredibly active baby. Maybe this one will just be super chill. That would be lovely!

Anywho, I worked last night, and am working tonight, so no pic today. I'll make sure I do one this weekend though.

Oh, and just so I can look back on this and remember, here's a link to some pics of Hurricane Igor from a local photographer. It's been an eventful week!!!

16 weeks

I so need to take a belly pic! This child is seriously getting gyped!

I'm doing pretty well. Not looking very pregnant though, which is surprising me. I figured I'd be really showing by now. But I'm still losing weight, so I guess that's it? I'm at 206 lbs now. I'm not trying to lose weight. It's just happening. I'm sure that'll turn around soon though.

I think I'm going to wear my new maternity jeans tomorrow. Maybe that'll help me look pregnant?
