Week 15

Sorry I'm a little late posting this 15th week. It is getting tougher for me writing on the weeks now, because I feel like not much is happening in between the weeks now.
My what to expect app tells me it is the size of a Navel orange!
I am starting to feel the little one move around alot more for sure.
I am definitely starting to look more pregnant.
I guess more TMI things happening

TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI
ok, some things are happening that i was unaware of happening, especially earlier pregnancy things. and turns out, it is all normal and happens to almost every preggers. so this booger like subtance almost like a neon yellow/green like when you have a sinus infection. yeah that stuff coming off of you when you wipe. weird. and also, it is getting colder now, being the beginning of november 2012 my skin is getting dry. well i notice this almost crust on my nipples! at first i thought i had really dry nipples, well i looked it up and apparently it is SUPER normal for little bit of leaking, like to small to really notice and not to wet your clothes but it will crust and you can just peel it off like a scab or leave it til it falls off?! apparently it is your boobies preparing for the milk. almost opening of more holes in your nipples preparing you for breast feeding.

OK OK YOURE SAFE FROM THE TMI
So Also I started on parenting classes. A clinic in Rockford, IL offers free parenting basic classes, and if you take all 6 classes (show up and stay) you get a free carseat. which is awesome. Me and my husband have been starting to struggle with finances which has been starting to stress me out alot. I wanted to take as many classes as I can but then a free carseat after taking these classes. It has been a blessing, with the carseat, my brother in law is giving us there now almost 4 year old sons crib (apparently the cadillac of cribs) my husbands sister has her changing table from her daughter. We just need to get mattresses for them. And another sister in law has giving me some maternity tops and dresses. I still desperately need some maternity pants cuz im starting to get tight on the jeggings. i do have a belly band and that will last me a little longer. Im going to be hitting up the thrift stores for maternity pants again (first time i tried they were all to big in size)

And look at that, i didnt think i had much to write about this week.
You will be hearing from me soon

Week 14

14 Weeks.
What to expect says I have a baby the size of a lemon now. I am feeling about the same. I actually feel a little less pregnant.... minus the fact that I am starting to show.

Had a little scare this week. I work at Hobby Lobby, we open at 9am. I got there at 745 one morning, because a bunch of us got there early to finish opening up our order that came in late the day before. well at about 8:05 I started to get some cramping. It progressively got worse. Now this is my first pregnancy, I have read on a bunch of stuff and have bunch of friends with kids, and my sister who has 3 kids. So I knew mild cramping is normal, especially with your first pregnancy. Or the AWFUL gas cramps super common in pregnancy. I am thinking they are just gas cramps, but getting so bad, i needed to walk away. I started feeling a little better and went back to the back of the store to continue opening. Well the cramps came back where I could barely even stand up straight, so I walked away again. OK now (WARNING T.M.I AHEAD) So i went back to the bathroom and when I wiped there was an icky pink substance. So now I'm thinking more of, this is my first pregnancy, having really bad cramps, and now I'm spotting!! so it is like 830am and I go back to the breakroom to text my husband and drink some water, and my manager walks in and makes a rude comment (cuz she's a big 'B') You're already taking a break?! and I started crying a little bit and told her what was going on so she told me to call my dr. I call the doctor and someone else in the office helped me but when i told her what was going on, she said the doctor would call me back. so that was 840ish
so 1030 rolls around I get a call back, my dr.
she asked again symptoms
I told her
she said "can you leave work?"
i say yes (getting quite nervous)
pause...... "Can you be here at 11"
(thinking it will take me about 20 min to get there)
Yeah, I can
Ok See you soon

Now I'm very nervous, but they just were precautionary..... is that a word? lol. ok, not much more details get to the point.. I got there, waited, did a couple tests, they didnt find anything, they listened to the heartbeat that was there and normal. so since they couldnt find anything wrong. It is 12:40 now, they send me to the hospital, check in at outpatient, drink 3 12oz glasses of water before 1:15 check in. I cry to my husband, called his mother cuz he is at work and she met me at the hospital. Had to do a FULL BLADDER ultra sound where they didnt show me the screen, and had to be there alone. the ultrasound lady said she couldnt tell me anything because she was not certified. so once the ultra sound was done, the radiologist had to check it, t hen call my dr. then my dr. would call the hospital where i would go into a consulting room and take the call from my dr. to tell me the results. LAME. well all that waiting about 3:20 finally got the call. Guess what, NOTHING WAS WRONG! I am thankful nothing is wrong, and I'm thankful they went to full lengths to find out if anything was wrong. but that was alot of nerves wracking and waiting and being scared.

Why that happened you ask? well they think it could have been either the baby clinging on to my uteran wall, if i had sex within 48 hours (very sensitive cervix) or if i was doing heavy lifting..


wow, long story, sorry. but that has been the highlight of the week. I have been feeling the baby move a little bit more. mostly flutters. its cute. of course everyone ruins it by like just wait til you are THIS far along and the baby kicks your ribs and stomps your bladder. i just say well its not yet, and these are the first times im feeling it and it makes me smile.
I REALLY NEED SOME MATERNITY PANTS SOON!!!

Week 13

I am a few days late with posting 13 week update.
So I had a Dr. appointment on the day I turned 13 weeks. I was very happy because my husband Andrew works alot, but ended up getting off and being able to come with me. I wasnt to worried about it because it wasnt that big of an appointment. I get more worried about him being there for ultrasounds and whatnots. Although I love it if he is able to join me when I can. ANYHOO... we got sent back into the dr. room and we were waiting for quite a long time it seemed. I almost fell asleep while waiting (that tired symptom is still on my back) Well we waited so long, i had to pee again! so I decided I needed to go use the bathroom in case she came in and started pressing on my bladder. So i leave the room and the dr said oh, i was just about to come in there and I said, I'm so sorry i just have to pee. So then after I did that, she ended up going in another patient. so we had to wait even longer. Well it all paid off because she came in our room with one of those portable ultra sound machines and she said, You guys waited so long, and I love babies when they are that small, so how would you like a surprise ultra sound just for fun! I was so excited. My last ultra sound was on 9 weeks, and my next one isn't scheduled til 20 weeks (to find out the sex) so to have one at 13 weeks was so awesome. It looked more like a baby, and he or she was moving all around, arching the back and stretching out. It was awesome. I was giggling and being giddy and Andy was just staring at it, hand on his mouth. I think it just came SUPER real to him.

Still not able to agree on names. I think it will be a while still. Here is baby at 13 weeks :)

                       And There is my start of a swollen stummy and big ol boobies (for me lol)
