Moving, Moving, Moving. . .


Today was my 16-week appointment and we've got a mover on our hands! The doctor found the baby's heartbeat, but quickly the baby moved, he found it a second time on the other side and again the baby moved. This baby does not like to sit still. Back and forth the baby was going. The doctor said all is well. I told him those prenatal vitamins are killing me (I threw one up on Tuesday) and luckily he said I can switch to a children's chewable (like Flintstones!!! Yeah!) instead. But I still need to take the DHA vitamin.

I can finally feel the uterus now. For a while I thought I had too much fat to feel anything, but now when I lay down, you can clearly see "my bump". My lovely lady bump (sorry, had to). So that's very exciting! I can find my own uterus! Thank you sex ed 101. The doctor said I should start feeling all the moving in as soon as two weeks time! That will be cool!

On the weight front - I gained 4 pounds this month! That's a little more than I'm comfortable with, but the rain has delayed my walking habit, so I'm sure, once I get out and start walking again things will level off. I was expecting at least a 2 pound gain, which I believe to be all boobage. These suckers are getting ridiculous!

Well that's all for now! See my lovely lady bump in the picture this month!! :)
