23 Weeks

Well, this is me now at 23 weeks. Luckily I don't really have any complaints. I have been feeling pretty good, besides just being uncomfortable due to my big belly. I can't even imagine what I will look like in a few more months! Actually, that is kind of scary to think of. It is funny now to be able to feel this little baby moving around so much. In the last week I can actually feel and also see the movements on my belly. I have tried to get Shane to feel but the baby never seems to move very much when his hand is there. I'm sure that will change as the baby grows bigger and bigger and has less and less room to float around in there.

Shane and I are in the final stages of buying a house and in a couple weeks we are going on a camping vacation with Shane's cousin and his wife. I just hope that the air mattress doesn't leak. I can't wait to have nothing to do but relax. I will be sure to post some pictures after vacation.

20 Week Ultrasound Pictures

On Thursday morning we had our 20 week ultrasound. It was so neat to see the baby moving around and then associating the punches and kicks with what I was feeling. The nurse did a good job of making sure everything was normal and explaining what we were looking at. They even gave us a dvd that has about 15 minutes on it of the ultrasound. Although, it does not have what the sex of the baby is because we didn't want to find out. The first pictures are of the profile of the baby.

The next pictures show the feet, actually just one because the baby was moving around so much and never had both feet in a good position to get a clear picture. So one foot and one heel. So cute!

If I can figure out how to upload the video I will get in posted.

17 Weeks

I thought I would post a picture so you all can finally see my belly. I am now 17 weeks and have started to feel like a normal person again. It has been so nice to wake up in the morning and not feel so sick anymore. I occasionally get morning sickness throughout the day but nothing like before. My next appointment is on May 26th and my next ultrasound is on June 11. Hopefully after that my due date will be a little more exact.

9 Weeks

Today I will start my blog about my pregnancy so my family and friends can keep in touch and yes, see my baby bump as it grows.

So far, I have felt extremely nauseated since about 5 weeks. Besides this I have started to have crazy mood swings, poor Shane. To top it all off, fatigue. Although I have still been trying to walk Cash everyday and it seems to make me feel just a little better even if it is just for an hour or so. Luckily, I have still be able to work all my scheduled shifts. The ladies at work are all great and let me take a little breather when I need it. Tonight I actually made and ate tacos and was hungry to eat them which is very unusual. Usually my diet has consisted of cereal, yogurt, saltine crackers, potatoes, and toast. yum-yum!

In a few more weeks I will start to post some pictures and I am also going to start posting again in our regular blog: themowens.blogspot.com
