13 weeks!

So I had my 2nd appointment on Monday! All is well. Got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Unfortunately daddy didn't get to go to this one, he couldn't get off of work. He'll be at the ultrasound though, which isn't for another 2 months! I can hardly wait. Not like we'll be finding out the sex, but I just want to see it, I think it's so amazing to watch!
So whatever weight I lost I almost gained back, I was 1 pound shy of my first appointment. Considering where I started I am pretty happy with that. We'll see how it goes from here. I swear I gained it all back when we went to Famous Dave's! Meat just sounded so good! Which is really weird for me. I have also been craving pink or red grapefruit. And fresh salsa!
Pretty uneventful other than that. I am still just waiting to get bigger so I can feel you KICK me! I know, it's crazy, but I love it! I also want to get past this 'Is she pregnant or fat?' phase. At least then I can fit into maternity clothes, because now I am having a hard time fitting into anything!
Oh, and on the way to the appointment I got a text message from daddy. It said "there's two in there". Do you have any idea how many times I have heard that! I would just die if there is two!
So, anyway, that's really all for now. I go back September 22nd, 16 1/2 weeks. Can't wait til then! Oh, I just realized that's the day before our anniversary!

August 12th, 2008

Ok, I know I'm a little late coming into this, so I'll have some catching up to do.
This is my first blog, too, so I am a little wary, I was never a fan of blogging. I have no other way to keep track right now, though, so here goes.
I am 10 weeks, 5 days. I found out I was pregnant July 3rd when I decided for the heck of it to go ahead and take a test (I had a spare one still from when I was pregnant with my son). I guess in my heart I knew I was, or I wouldn't have even bothered, but I outwardly didn't think in a million years that it would come back positive! I was so surprised! So was daddy! Although I must say he was much more calm than I was. We were both thrilled though, just took some adjusting since we weren't expecting it so soon. We figured it would be another 6 months or so before we started trying!
Anyway, back on track.
I had my first doctor appointment on July 24th. We decided to wait until after that before we told anyone. So of course I went straight to my mom's after the appointment and told her the news. She was practically jumping up and down! Everyone was very happy when we told them. The kids were thrilled, too, and both right away said they wanted a girl, which kind of surprised me!

I never lost all the weight from my last baby, so I started off this pregnancy a bit bigger than I wanted, so I am hoping to not gain as much this time as I have before. With both other pregnancies I gained 45-50 pounds. I started this pregnancy at 143.5 (according to the doc scale, 140 according to mine) which is where I was at at 14 weeks last time. So I have been hoping not to gain any up to that point! I actually have experienced some 'morning sickness' this time around though, which is a first for me, and it only lasted a couple weeks (~7-9). So I think that has contributed to the fact that I have so far lost 4 pounds. I never got sick, though, so I don't know what's up. I am sure part of it is that I cannot drink coffee anymore (not that I worry about a couple cups, it just made me wanna yak!) and I don't drink soda or alcohol any more. I am also thinking that I am probably eating about the same as I was before and now my body is using more of those calories to make a life! Plus I am still nursing my youngest, only before bed, but still! Anyway, here I am at 10 weeks and 136 pounds (according to my scale, so probably 139.5 in reality) which is good! I can handle that. I just need to keep it up!
I feel that I am getting bigger now, though. My belly is starting to come out just a little bit. For some reason after I eat I look 5 months pregnant.
Everyone will probably think I am crazy, too, but I SWEAR I felt you move last night! I know I felt my last baby at 13 weeks, and I thought THAT was crazy, so this must be crazy. But it was you, it wasn't anything else. Pretty incredible!
My next appointment is on August 25th, almost three weeks from now. We should be able to hear the heartbeat then, I can't wait!
