Last night I was sitting at the computer, listening to music when I started feeling little taps/flutters. No big deal, I had felt them before, so I just continued. About 8:00pm I got Brad in the bathtub, and I laid on the couch to watch a Tivo’d episode of “A Baby Story” that was taped while I was at work today. While I was watching, I felt a couple big POPS, and then when I pushed back, it POPPED again! Then he/she started their acrobatic tricks for a bit – it was so great!! I tried calling the husband but he didn’t answer (he was at work), so I called my best friend Ashley to tell her (she's also pregnant, but 16wks ahead of me). Then my husband finally called back and I told him. I’m so glad I am finally at this stage in my pregnancy! It’s so exciting… YAY!

Cravings!

Well today marks the 6th day in a row that I have had a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit from McDonald’s for breakfast. That is a SERIOUS craving if you ask me! It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the baby seems to really enjoy it! I think it’s funny: With my first son I craved potatoes like crazy, and with this little one I am craving McD’s B.A.C. biscuits… How random!

The good thing about all this too is that I have not gotten sick since the pizza incident the other night. Yesterday I had McD’s for breakfast, Lenny’s ham & cheese sandwich w/ chips & lemonade for lunch, and jambalaya w/ sausage for dinner, and it alllllll stayed down!

22 days until we find out if it’s a boy or girl! I am also 16 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Last night I had to take out my navel ring because my navel is starting to “pop out”. Kind of a sad moment, but it just goes to show how much I am “showing” now! You can definitely tell I’m pregnant.

It's a Monday...

Today is Monday, MLK Day, and coming into work was kind of depressing! Everyone is off work/school, and the parking lot was empty when I got here. Oh well, what can ya do!

On the subject of my little “sea monkey”, the baby is doing great from what I can tell. I haven’t felt too much more movement, but still a little flutter/jab here and there. The kid seems to like car rides or me sitting certain ways, because that is when he/she is the most active. Never feel much if I am lying on my back as far as movement goes. I’m so impatient – I just want to feel huge kicks already!

The Hyperemesis is making its way out. This past week I haven’t gotten sick much at all. I did get sick last night, but that was because I ate 5 slices of pizza, then a couple hours later thought that some yogurt, a ½ an English muffin, and a glass of milk would go GREAT with that. Yeah, not so much.

YAY! He/She is moving!

Today I really started feeling “flutters” from the baby. It feels like little pops here and there. I thought I have been feeling them the past few days, but I am noticing them more and more as time goes on. Yes, I had an iced coffee from McD’s this morning, so maybe the kiddo is just hyper! I have also noticed that I can totally see/feel my uterus when I lie on my back – it’s insane! I can also feel the baby roll around a bit if I put my hand on there. I can’t wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl. I kind of think it’s a girl, but we’ll see on Valentine’s Day! This Sunday I will be 16 weeks pregnant.

I am starting to feel much better. I went back to work on Monday and have been able to make it through the week no problem. Everyone has been real supportive of what I have gone through and is happy to have me back.

I am able to keep a lot more foods down. Last night I got a craving for shrimp pasta, and ate a good sized bowl full and didn’t get sick. This morning I had a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit from McD’s and have managed to keep that down as well!
