I was talking to a friend at work the other day about the 20 week ultrasound. She said that she videotaped hers so she could put it online. I called my doctor, and he said he doesn’t have a problem with us taping it. So…we’re going to videotape the entire ultrasound and put it on our youtube page so everyone can see it, plus we should find out what the sex is, so that’ll be an extra perk! We can’t wait! Hopefully this will be a really cool thing we can share with family and friends!

Tuesday, October 16th is the big day! I have my 20 week ultrasound at 2:30 and we are going to try to figure out what we’re having! So, anyone that wants to start putting in their guess can do so by adding a comment to this post. We’ll reward the winner(s) with a big “hurrah!” and of course the satisfaction of guessing correctly.
Paul’s vote is for Boy. Mine is for Girl.
Say some prayers that our little one will have it’s legs spread eagle so that it’s ‘parts’ are visible!

I’ve had 3 people point at my belly so far today and say “you’re poking out!” :-) Guess I’m starting to pop; thank God…I’m tired of looking like I just ate 2 Thanksgiving dinners every day! heheÂ

I had another baby dream last night. Well, a toddler dream, but either way, it was a boy. So that brings the tally to Boy – 2, Girl – 1.
Also, I hit the 15 week mark this morning. Time is really going fast now, but I’m sure it’ll go even faster as the weeks continue. I still haven’t “popped out” yet, but hopefully that’ll come in a week or two.Â
I had a Dr. visit last Thursday. We got to hear the heartbeat! Our little one is working hard in there! I’ve gained 5.5 pounds too. Actually I’ve lost .5 pounds since my last Dr. visit. Probably because I was eating every 45 minutes before, and for the last 3-4 weeks I’ve been eating normally/healthier again. Feeling great; no more nausea just really really tired.
Yes, we’re sorry about not getting a 14 week picture online. We got really busy last week and didn’t realize it until Thursday or Friday. We’ll try to remember to take one tonight. Not much has changed though.

I’ve started having dreams about my pregnancy/babies/children lately. Thought it would be fun to keep track of boy baby / girl baby dreams, especially for those who are adamant about it being one over the other *cough*Ashley*cough* 🙂
Anyway, about a week ago, I had a dream that we had a toddler and called it by a girl name…so that was 1 tick-mark for “girl”
Last night I had a dream about my 20ish week ultrasound, and that we saw ‘boy parts’…so that’s a tick-mark for “boy”
So far, Boy = 1Â Girl = 1
We’ll see where this goes 😉

So I’ve done the big switch from morning sickness to crabby, unstable, tired, witch (with a different letter). Thanks to those lovely hormones, I feel like I have PMS x1000. For the past few days my eyes have been ‘on the ready’ to bust out in tears at any second. Isn’t life grand?
On another pathetic note, I can barely wear any of my pre-baby clothes anymore. My thighs have started to thicken up so that all my khakis and dress pants for work are a little snug. Even with my belly band, they are getting close to being put in the ‘pre-baby’ stack of clothes in my closet *sigh*

Today marks the 3 month mark in my pregnancy, and the end of the first trimester. I think I’m pretty much past my “all day” sickness, as I’ve only felt bad maybe 1.5 days over the last week. It’s kind of weird because I don’t really ‘feel’ pregnant anymore, since I don’t have the nausea to remind me of what’s going on inside me, and I’m not to the point where I feel any movement. Guess it’s just a waiting and gaining weight period until I start feeling the baby move in a few weeks.
Paul and I have started looking around at color schemes, etc for strollers, car seats and highchairs. I think we want to have all of our registering pretty much finished by Thanksgiving. We figure with the holiday rush and how crazy things are during that time, we won’t have time to think about it. After Christmas, it’ll only be a little over 2 months left!
Check back later tonight for the 12-week belly shot. ugh. 🙂

I haven’t posted awhile about how I’m doing. I’ve actually been feeling a lot better lately. I went to the doctor last Thursday for a checkup and he gave me new prenatal vitamins. The ones I had been taking were making me very sick, and I was at the point of crying before I took them because of how awful I knew I’d feel within 1/2 hour. So, he gave me new ones, and they are great for 3 reasons: 1) They are purple (my fav. color) 2) They are TINY (about the size of a Tylenol) 3) They don’t make me sick.
I’m so excited about hitting the 3 month mark on Tuesday! Time has really flown by since we’ve told everyone. We’ve been really busy lately and I guess that helps too.  I imagine that with all the holidays coming up that my pregnancy will just fly by from this point on.
I have Emmaus training starting up this weekend as well. I’ll be doing that at least once a week until October. The walk is Oct 11-14.
That’s all for now!
