1, 2, 3, KICK!

So I've been feeling the baby move a lot over the past week or so. It started with me going to get a prenatal massage and while I was laying down, I felt a fluttering in my stomach. At first I was like "Oh, God....please don't let me have gas when I am getting a back massage....please..." Then I realized it felt totally different. Then we were visiting Mike's parents this weekend and we were watching an action movie with the surround sound on. There was a part with lots of loud yelling and I felt the baby moving all over the place. This afternoon I startled it with a sneezing fit. There have been a lot of other times in between but those are my fave.

We have less than 5 weeks to go til we find out the sex. I can't wait! We have an appointment this next Tuesday but it will be the next one when we will find out.

Here are some pics....

 

I've been going to the physical therapist for my lower back for the past few weeks. I've been having such pain. It feels like it's a nerve issue...It started before I was pregnant but now it's gotten worse. Been doing all kinds of exercises to get the pain under control...

Anyway, we are in the middle of a large snowstorm up here, so I better get my chores and homework done before we lose power.....

Second Trimester, Here I Come!!

Thank God! I'm starting to get some of my energy back. I am somewhat feeling human again. I actually feel like I can somewhat function.

We got to hear the heartbeat last week. It was amazing! It was so strong and loud. It made me feel relieved to hear that. Just about 6 1/2 weeks til we find out if it's a boy or a girl. I'm so excited for that.

Here's my most recent photos...

So I've gotten some of my energy back, but not a lot....I'm off to take a nap. I just wanted to update this since I haven't done so in awhile.

12 Week Check Up....

This Tuesday will be our 12 week check up, in which we will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. I'm so excited for this.

This week I really realized how big I've gotten. I had to buy more maternity clothes and I actually didn't fit in my work uniform anymore. I had to wear doctor scrubs all weekend since my boss wasn't in. Tomorrow I will be able to get ones that fit me and won't have everyone ask, "Did you have an accident?"

Here is a comparison of how much bigger I've gotten. And, no, it's not twins.

8 Weeks 3 Days

11 Weeks 1 Day

This is going to be a BIG baby......
