16 weeks and 16 months
I am 16 weeks into this new pregnancy. I had an appt. this past week and all seems OK so far. Heartrate was in the 140's. We talked about future appointments and the appointment with the MFM doc. I have an ultrasound set for this Tuesday to check my cervical length and he said they'll take a peak and see if we can see 4 chambers of the heart...and maybe see the sex too :)
How far along?: 16 weeks
How big is baby?: no clue and too lazy to look it up
Weight Gain?: 10ish pounds.
Maternity Clothes?: Pants and some tops
Sleep?: I've had insomnia and hate it! Just toss and turn.
Best moment this week?: Amelia NOT getting chicken pox!
Food Cravings?: Not really craving anything.
Gender?: I had one pregnancy dream and I had a boy in it..he was the size of a six month old and was wearing black glasses. In the beginning of the pregnancy, all I could think about was having another girl...now all I think about is having a boy...we'll see!
Stretch Marks: None
Movement?: maybe little things, but nothing definite. Wondering if the placenta is anterior again.
What I miss?: Having energy and getting a break
Belly Button?: Still in
Labor Signs?: none
What I'm looking forward to?: Finding out the health of this baby
Nursery progress: There is no nursery here in our small apartment! The baby will be in with us :)
Main symptoms this week: Fatigue, blah feeling, food doesn't taste right, emotional, round ligament pain
I wanted to do a little update of Amelia too. She had a check-up this past week. Her height, weight and head circumference all are in the 30-40th percentile. The doctor said she is very proportional. For some reason she seems bigger than that to me, but she is just below the average I guess. And the biggest news, today is day 1 of weaning her. It's surprising how sad I have been today about this. It's a stage coming to a close, I will miss my time with her. Thankfully she still likes to rock and cuddle, but again, this is a time I will never get back with her. Pat said, well you'll be nursing another baby in July...yeah, that's true, but not Amelia. My milk had pretty much dried it and it was really painful. The doctor said it would probably take 4 days of cold turkey for her at her age. Today she actually did rather well. I think thought that I may kinda have cramps from not nursing, not really sure. Never thought I would've made it 6 months...we had a such a rough start and the first few months were bad. We made it almost 17 months though! God answered a lot of prayers and we persevered. It was worth all of the struggles!
