Well, I really thought I was going to be better at this blogging thing, but I suppose that was just wishful thinking. Actually, it’s really amazing that I’m doing it at all. I’m going to try blogging at home with Windows Live Writer. Hoping that will help me be able to upload pictures and such. This will be my trial-post.
So we’ve made it to 15 weeks already! I guess time does fly when you stop counting the days. Feels like it took forever to get out of the first trimester, but now it’s done and I’m beginning my second. I would post some belly pics here, but truth is I’m really not showing yet. Cannot wait for my little bump…that will turn into a huge bump. I have gained about 8lbs so far (mostly in my butt). I definitely am super uncomfortable wearing any of my jeans. I cannot zip or button them and require the assistance of a belly band to keep them on! These really are the greatest things ever. I am all about maternity jeans, but wanted to try to wear my clothes as long as possible this time to avoid the expense. Yeah, well I think I’m done with that. I’m to the point wear I need to start wearing maternity tops too because my tops aren’t long enough and look kinda weird with half a belly band hanging out.
I suppose the most exciting news of all is that at our first official ultrasound a couple of weeks ago, the sonographer said she’s “very confident” that it’s a BOY! Bobby was thrilled, of course, as was the rest of the family. We will have our 2nd trimester ultrasound Feb. 15th, so we will know for sure then! All of baby’s parts look normal and are growing appropriately right now. They did the nuchal translucency and that was completely normal, along with my blood work. This just reduces the risk of multiple trisomy chromosomal abnormalities. Looks like our kiddo is healthy! Mom on the other hand…
I caught the flu this week. Blah. Of course I haven’t had the flu for YEARS, but get it when I’m pregnant. awesome. Awesome when you can’t even take all the good drugs to make you feel better. Ummm….you can have Tylenol and plain Sudafed. thanks.for.nothing. And of course it came on my days off of work, so I waste all of my time away from work. whatev. It started with fever, chills, muscle aches, headache and sore throat and has progressed to just a bunch of sinus congestion and feeling like I want to rip my face off. Probably going to call off for work tonight, don’t want to infect anyone if I’m still contagious. And truthfully, I still don’t feel 100%.
Let’s see, can’t really think of anything else exciting. Maybe I will try to post something about Christmas and include a pic…whoa.
