15 week post! :)

Pregnancy updates:

Symptom wise, I'm feeling fabulous in my 2nd trimester! I've been getting headaches a lot recently but I think thats just because I'm not drinking enough water & I've really been on the go! 

I definitely need to step that up, not that I have a choice. Jamey assigns me how many water bottles I have to drink and is tattletaling to my Dr! hahaha. He's crazy! I usually only drink water and maybe some sweet tea during the day it's just that I don't drink a lot in general. Like pre pregnancy a bottle of water could last me all day. Its really strange. But I'm working on it!

Weight gain:

Pre pregnancy my weight fluctuates between 125-130 

I was 130 at my first OB appointment (I blame Jamey's homecoming and us going out to eat all the time haha)

and now I'm 15 weeks and 131 lbs. So I haven't been gaining much but I haven't lost any either so I'm pretty happy about it. I was blessed with a really great metabolism. If you could see the way I eat, what I eat, and when I eat it and then compare that to the amount of exercise I get... you'd probably assume I was severely overweight. I need to stop relying on that because I know at some point it's going to catch up to me.. and this pregnancy has been the perfect opportunity to start going walking at the gym and add a lot more fruits and veggies to my diet. So I'm really really realllyyyy trying, hopefully I keep it up all the whole pregnancy!

Next appointment:

September 29th!

We're getting an ultrasound and drawing blood for the down syndrome test! 

I'm pretty nervous about that

buttttttt my excitement for hopefully finding out the sex outweighs it completely!

Jamey and I are like kids on christmas just waiting for next thursday!! 

We have a babies r us shopping date right afterwards :)

Today, 9/22/2011, was the first day I felt the baby move :)

Jamey had left for PT and while I was laying in bed trying to go back to sleep I felt the little baby flutters :) I didn't know exactly what it was, but suspected the baby so I pushed on my belly trying to get him/her to do it again and it did! :))) I was thrilled! I texted Jamey and then we danced around the kitchen when he got home haha :)

This is seriously the most exciting time in our lives. I feel so blessed for this little miracle <3

Alright well that's about all of my pregnancy updates and I have a bunch of stuff to do so I'm gonna get off here. I'm gonna try to not write another one till the 29th :] wish us luckkk!!
