16 weeks

Another week down, 23 more to go:) Pregnancy is going by rather quickly although I am just dieing to meet this little baby, its not even funny. Before I got pregnant I read so many pregnancy books to prepare me, now I have been reading labor a delivery books and stories. It is really fun for me, the whole process is amazing. It makes me somewhat nervous because of so many thing that can happen and it sounds like there is a lot of pain involved but mostly I am just exited.
I have hired a doula last week. She will be there to help out with the delivery and coach me through the laboring. She is so nice! She is a family friend. I have gotten a few massages from her and she has magic hands that will defiantly come in handy.
How have I been feeling? It depends on the day, sometimes I feel great and have energy. So I get done with work and do a nice long workout and then get home and prepare dinner, and clean. Then the next day I am regretting it because I feel exhausted for the rest of the day. I can barely think. So I need to still take it easy and conserve my energy so I can function the next few days.
No more morning sickness. I get nausea's here and there if I go to long with out eating or if I smell the wrong thing. But nothing like it was in the beginning. I still have not much of an appetite. I have a hard time eating enough throughout the day. The bad thing is that sweets sound really good to me and things with little nutritional value. So I have to really force myself to eat a real dinner rather than chip and candy.
I would have to say my stomach is starting to pop out a little more. I still get comments saying I don't at all look pregnant but its much bigger than before.
OH and guess what, I have started feeling the little guy move around in there. It is very unnoticeable but if I'm laying down or sitting still. I can feel little wiggles. Best feeling ever knowing that something is actually in there:)

  2. Okay from one cranky preggers lady to one I can't imagine being cranky....The best thing that I ever found for those legs... Ready... Almonds and Gatoraid.. I know it sounds weird but if I eat about ten almonds and drink a cup of any flavored Gatoraid about an hour before going to sleep my legs don't hurt as bad. I can even get away without waking up to charlie horses... The other thing is to ask your doctor if you can have a Tylonel or Tylonel PM on the really bad nights... YOu look great!
