Change Of Due Date

     Today, if my first due date given to me was correct, I would be 18 weeks 2 days. The doctor told me I would be able to find out the sex today! Yes, I'm one of the moms who cannot wait til birth to find out. 

     I went in today and I saw my baby! His/her heart beat is 159 and the doctor said he/she was really active BUT my due date is off and it's too soon to know the sex.. AND my baby was turned towards my back so we couldn't see any way. 

      My next ultrasound is April 21st... Then I shall know. The one thing I did find out is that even though my mom kept saying it, I am not havin twins. I would've loved twins though!

Mood swings from H*ll

Fo your information, they were not lying about the mood swings that occur while pregnant. I am a very patient, thoughtful, kind person. My gosh.  Right now? I have no patience. I snap on people a lot. I am thoughtful but sometimes it makes me mad to be so. Then I feel bad about feelin that way and get all sad. Yes, hormones are wonderful.

    It IS funny. When you're not on the receiving end. I laugh afterwards, sometimes. Some people think it's nice to see me be so forward. I'd rather be laid back and kind, but for now I'm trying to find an okay balance.

      I know I said my nausea went away, but apparently I lied. I did not mean to lie. I was hoping not to be lying....

    But it came back. Thankfully, I can go a day or two without growing up! This is great!

      I also have a bit more energy than before.

    I think I felt my baby move! :)

The Heartbeat

     I had an appointment for yesterday to hear my babies heartbeat! I had to cancel because the roads were so icy. So say I was disappointmented, would be an understatement. I rescheduled for Monday. It's not coming soon enough! If you are a mom, or soon to be mom, you may understand how it feels to not have seen or heard anything yet. It feels like you're not really pregnant, even with all the symptoms. Sigh. I don't think you ever feel like you're pregnant until you give birth!

My Baby Bump

Once I hit the 13 weeks mark, my stomach popped! This is way exciting! I was wondering when it would happen. I keep rubbing my belly and showing it off to the select people that I've actually told. Okay, the down side is that none of my clothes for. Not even my shirts. I really do need to go shopping but I can't find maternity clothes anywhere! I don't want to go up any clothing sizes. Also, regular pants just don't feel comfortable. They push on my uterus. Definitely not comfy.

Second Trimester

     It has been a while since I've posted anything. I've been so busy working, throwing up, and sleeping. All the time. This past week, I thought my nausea was gone. I also thought my exhaustion was disappearing! I hadn't thrown up for five days and yesterday I threw up every meal. My energy is slowly coming back though! Some days are sleepier than others.

      Not going to lie. I called to get medicine for my nausea. I couldn't keep anything down and working in the place where I do, I just wasn't okay for me to be running away to throw up or pacing around because I'm exhausted from the nausea. Then I had to work. The next day there was a snow storm. The next day, I was sick. Then I wasn't throwing up anymore! I was like, score! Now I don't need it! I haven't taken it. I'm hoping my nausea stays away.

Almost 14 weeks into this!

Major Work Out... Or Not

     Today, my body feels like I did a major workout. My hips hurt; my pecs hurt; my abs hurt. Well, I guess I kind of did a work out if that includes growing a baby. It's hard to move. I'm also super moody today. 

       I'm very  lucky to have a little sister who is running to subway to grab me a sub. What would I do without the lovely people in my life? 

      I don't even want to eat. I just wan. To sleep and not wake up for a week. Is it vacation yet?

Body Building

    I read an article that told me, while laying down I'm burning more energy than my boyfriend would be body building. So when you put it that way, it's easy to imagine how exhausted I feel. Yesterday, I could hardly get out of bed. Today, I'm feeling a little bit more awake. For now. 

       I've been taking a picture every two weeks... Just so I could compare and see if I really have a baby bump yet! This morning, I do! I'm not super skinny so it's not easy for it to be noticeable. I'm so excited. Even though I have all these symptoms, it's hard to believe I'm pregnant when there's nothing showing. Now I'm getting all.. Oh my gosh a baby is in there! My baby! I'm growing a baby!
