KICKS???

Exactly 1 more week before find out the sex of the baby!  We're very excited!!

Good news, my test for the UTI came back negative!!  YAY no weird procedures :)

My appetite is building, I eat several small meals a day.  I always crave cheese.  Cheese cubes to be exact.

AND FINALLY!!  I'm 99% positive that i'm feeling some kicking going on!  I don't know what else it could be and it happens several times a day.  It feels like a little poking from the inside.  HOW COOL!!!!!!

2 milestones, sorta

SOOOO Friday I officially wore my first pair of maternity pants.  None of my jeans fit, or they do but they leave a permanant imprint of the button on my belly, so I wore some maternity jeans Ian and I had bought about a month ago.  They were still too large, so they kept falling down all day, but I guess it's better than too tight!! 

AND today I took out my belly button ring.  I have had it for 10 years!!!!  But it was time for it to be out anyway!  I will never want to show off my belly again anyway, haha.

Well that's all, just thought it was kinda interesting!

Avocado anyone?

Man I get a kick out of these pictures!

I had another doctors appt on Monday. Although my appt was at 3:40, we did not actually leave the doctors office until about 5:20. It was frustrating but at least I had Ian there with me!! OK so I got a little bored in the room and started playing with the electronic chair and used the light as a fake microphone......gotta entertain myself somehow!!

First the doctor came in and asked if i've had any issues; nope!! This next section might be too much information, so if you don't want to read it, skip on. She was talking about what would happen if my 2 rounds of antibiotics still haven't resolved the UTI...then she said something about catheter and scraping my bladder and I didn't need to hear more!! Please pray it went away this time :)

Next was the fun part, the heartbeat! She found it right away, and then "it" moved to a different area so she lost it and had to find it again! Active baby, huh!!! Heartbeat was in the 140's this time. And I've still gained only 4 lbs but I feel like it's more.

Next appt will be in a little less than a month and it will be a sonogram!! YAYYY!! I promise we'll take a belly pic soon......When my husband is actually home at the same time as me :)

Click below for the heartbeat that we recorded!!!

Just have to vent....

OK this doesn't really bother me, but i'd still like to share.  Some people forget to use their filters when they're talking to me:

"WOW you sure look pregnant today!!"

"You're gettin' your belly!!"

"You must be having a girl, because my butt got big like that when I was pregnant with my daughter, too."

I kid you not, folks.   It's one thing if you're my friend....but.......hehehe.

Rough Week Over!

Yes it was such a rough week!!  I came down with an extremely sore throat on Sunday, (Probably from walking around the track at 1 AM for Relay for Life,) and by Monday I had a fever.  I just kept taking tylenol every 4 hours to make sure I could control the fever, not to mention the sore throat.  So Tuesday I went to my regular dr. and he said it's drainage from allergies and prescribed me antibiotics which have JUST TODAY started to take effect.   I had to call my OBGyn to make sure it was okay to take the medicine he gave me, at which time she told me I still have a UTI.  So that could also be causing the fever, we weren't sure.  Anyway, I feel much better now THANKFULLY except for a nasty cough and still feeling very tired, which may just be because i'm pregnant :)

I haven't had any cravings lately, still really enjoying granny smith apples!!!  Mostly I just don't feel like eating at all so I have to say to myself "OK it's lunch time you have to eat something now."  Which is totally not like me!!  I'm usually miss Piggy!!

I just love these pictures:

Does that fascinate anyone else?  AMAZING!  14 weeks today.

P.S.  I keep forgetting to take a picture of my belly, maybe cuz I don't really want to :)  Sorry Rach wink wink
