21 weeks, 1 day


I think I am finally officially out of my regular jeans...except for one pair. The others I have to rubberband the button. Most of my maternity pants are still too big, though! Ugh!

Exciting news! I dumped my doctor! I left her office yesterday and just cried, she was so mean. I finally had it with her. I have considered leaving since I was pregnant with Nik and just never grew a pair! Well I did some research yesterday after my appointment and found a birth center that isn't much farther away than my doc was and I get even better coverage with them! I am thrilled to have a midwife and it's so cool that I can do this at a birth center! Daddy is a little freaked about the whole thing because he worries too much but I think it will be great! He'll see.
Anyway, other than that, I am at 150 lbs, so up total 6.5 (I am 20 weeks, 5 days), which I am so proud of myself for! She said my labs were all excellent (whatever that means) and the ultrasound was perfect! At least there aren't any problems, that's always a blessing! I go to see the midwife on November 18th, which would've been my next ob appointment, I can't wait to see the place. They actually have virtual tours online, so I kind of already have an idea of what to expect. It's Madison Birth Center, for future reference!
I feel kicks every day, which I love, daddy finally felt them too about a week ago! It makes him happy. I actually already feel hiccups, too, which is so cool, I never expected to feel hiccups this early. And occasionally, if I look at the right moments, I can see the kicks, too. Pretty soon I will have to get it on video!

Had my ultrasound last Tues! I still think it's a girl, but we'll have to see. I go back to the doc in less than a week and I will update then, they don't tell me anything at the ultrasound.
The kids and daddy got to all come along and see, too, so that was really cool. I wanted to video it but it was against the clinic rules which really made me sad. I got great pictures, though!
