So I am 18 weeks pregnant.... actually today im 18 1/2 weeks. I have already started producing the colostrum you get before breastmilk. This morning i soaked my shirt through for the first time. Usually its just a little. Its kinda weird i wouldnt think that would be happening till the last trimester. im in the middle of my second. But I am gonna ask the doctor when i go for an appointment on wednesday and see what is ok and what isnt.


I have been feelling the baby move more and more. Mostly right after i eat something or when im realxing on my back or side. Its not too active though just a couple kicks here and there, kinda like a girl.... ? William is already saying its his baby boy, Its so cute to hear him say it and pat my tummy. He even kisses it too. We tried to see if he could feel it this week but everytime he puts his hand on my abdomen the baby stops kicking then when he takes it off then the baby kicks like crazy. Its Hilarious!!!


Anyways we have our ultrasound on wednesday as well so i will blog about it the next time i blog.

So im 17 weeks pregnant. I have been really been feeling the baby move lots now. William hasnt yet just cause everytime i go to have him feel either the baby stops or its too loght. So we have to wait a few more weeks on that one.


Been swimming lots to keep cool. but im handling the heat pretty good. We went to the doctor this week and got the paperwork for our ultrasound. When our doctor handed the paperwork to me. He said he called ahead and told them we didnt want to find out the gender then i told him, "Good we didnt want to find out anyways," He then gave me the funniest look on his face and said "You ruined my joke!" We all burst into laughter after that. Our doctor is the best he makes everything fun and plus he is a member too so he understands alot. Anyways we heard the heart beat, it was very quiet, but we heard it and recorded it to be sent to my mom to hear so she can enjoy too.


We are starting to slowly get baby stuff. I went to other mothers and got 4 outfits for baby for $10. I got a winter jacket and another winter outfit and a couple onsies. And Starting the Process on the changing table and crib being made for us. We thank those. It means alot and they arent that easy to me.

I am now 16 weeks pregnant. I had some movement Friday afternoon, As i previously posted. That night i drank tons of water in between sleeping. I hardly did that, then the next day i was eating constantly. And then last night i woke up at 4am to have a bowl of cereal, it wasnt a small bowl either. I also have grown alot since friday too. So the baby is hitting a growth spurt. I had to pull out my bigger swimsuit for swimming yesterday. I wore my smaller one just last wednesday.


We have an appointment this week with our doctor to see how things are going and we then get the referral to go get our 20 week ultrasound. So we are excited. Gotta go get some food, Again!

Movement!!!

Today i felt the baby moving inside of me. It was fun. It was like it had hiccups already with a couple strong kicks here and there. My Uterous is just below my belly button. Starting to get bigger.

We registered for the baby this week at babysrus and WalMart. It was lots of fun. Thanks to those i called for advice on what to put on it, it really helped us out lots. Most of the stuff is nuetral so not much confusion there.

I will post my tummy picture on Sunday when i hit my 16 week mark.

So this is my 15th week being pregnant. Starting to really show and tell people. Some reactions are hilarious and some are boring. I had a couple people go in shock when i told them. One at her own wedding reception and the other over the phone. It was funny both times.


Last Sat. i woke up feeeling really dizzy and i couldnt stand or lay down with my eyes closed without being dizzy. I relaxed and drank some milk to see if it would help did not, i threw it up. Then William made me some soup to see if that would help, yet again it did not, i threw up again. I tried calling my doctor and he wasnt home, then i called the on call doctor and got hung up on. William then called his brother's wife, who just had a baby, to see if we could get her doctors number to call, He didnt take calls until later that day. But his sister in law did mention to try to see if it was low blood sugar. So i drank milk with vanilla and sugar warmed up and a cracker, then a few minutes later a sip of Sierra Mist. But i Did get a blessing from William and another friend before we tried my blood sugar. But all in the end after the sugar i was feeling much better. especially after a early nap.


So other than that everything is going well for the most part. On my next doctors visit in two weeks i get my blood sugar tested. We will find out if it was low blood sugar. Still havent yet gained any weight that i know of.
