A Long Overdue Update

I am really good at thinking these entries outloud when I have something to write about, but then I am not at a computer or do not have the energy or the want to to write. So I am forcing myself to do this now.

I have the hiccups everyday. Just one at a time randomly throughout the day, but everyday.

***Weight. I forgot to add this the first time. I haven't gained any weight. Doctor doesn't really seemed to be bothered as long as I am eating, but Dusten and the nurse are always on me. I was surprised for sure, especially because they weighed me fully dressed and with a whole mug of water in me. According to their scale I have gained 1 pound since I got pregnant. Maybe that's because I'm so stinking sick all the time! It's a month into my second trimester and I'm not feeling that much better. People have been telling me that the second trimester is supposed to be so great. So far I'm not a fan. It's also starting to make me paranoid about everything which is not good. I slept on my back the whole night the other night and now I think I've killed the baby because I haven't felt any popping that I had been feeling a couple days before that. I thought that was maybe the baby moving, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Now we have our ultrasound in about a week and I'm paranoid that there is going to be something wrong. I'm not really showing at all, so I"m thinking that that baby is going to be super under developed because I have been too hot or because I haven't been able to take my prenatal vitamins all the time or somethiing. This is absolutely ridiculous I am sure. I hope so. Hopefully next Tuesday all my worries will be put to rest, and I can learn to sleep on side and forget about it. Urghh.

We had another doctor's appointment on the 11th. It was much better than they 1st one. We were able to hear the heart beat for a lot longer, but he didn't tell us how many beats per minute it was. We have an ultrasound set up for the 25th. We are hoping to find out if this kid is a boy or a girl. You can vote on either blog, but it closes at 2:30 on the 25th which is the time of our ultrasound, so no cheating!

I'm still occasionally sick. Last night I was feeling a little sick at bedtime and made the mistake of taking my prenatal vitamin anyway. Of course I threw it up like 20 seconds later. And it was a mess. I had to hold my hand to my mouth to keep it from getting all over the place because I didn't get to the bathroom in time. So it was all over my face, my hand, the toilet. It was the worst so far. Usually I throw up right after I eat when the food is not digested, so it's not all acidic and gross. But it had been about 3 1/2 hours since I had eaten, so it smelled and tasted nasty. But that's usually the end of it. I throw up and then I'm done. Mornings are the worst by far, but they are getting gradually better. Thanks to Amy for the Lemonade and Popcorn. I'm addicted. Probably means I'm having a girl. Doing a lot more fruit and juice these days. Can't handle meat in much capacity.

The Baby Bump is barely there. I really just look fat. I think I look a lot more pregnant than I actually do. From my view, I have a belly, but from most other people's views I look the same. I guess I hide it well. I did bust two rubber bands on my jeans. It was kind of a weird situation. I almost had to walk around all day with my jeans unbuckled and unzipped. Luckily I found someone with an extra hair clip so I could use my hair tie as back up. I think I will just stop wearing those jeans in the future. They haven't fit me for a while.

Well that's all for now.
