16 Weeks

So I had my 16 week check up Friday. Everything is good. Baby's heartbeat was 153. My BP was 122/78. My urine looked good I suppose, they didn't say anything bad about it. My weight was...well higher than last time. ha
So all in all everything looks good. Our next check up is the fetal assessment aka find out the sex of baby ultrasound. I'm really excited about that but I know once I know the sex I'll be in full baby planning mode. It's really hard to pick stuff out for the nursery and such until you know the sex. And we'll start making our baby name list. So basically after August 27 we will be in full Baby Hamilton Preparation mode, or as Jacob calls it Preparation H mode.
I'm kinda enjoying taking it easy and not planning but baby will be here before we know it.
We also have a big home improvement project we are wanting to start as soon as it cools down a lil bit; we are going to rip up all the carpet in our house and put down laminate hardwood in the living room and entry way and carpet back down in the bedrooms. We picked out the laminate already and I love it. It's glossy and the look and feel is just like hardwood but it won't scratch as easily oh and its a lot cheaper. Jacob is planning on putting in the hardwood himself with the help of some male relatives. Everybody seems to think he will have no trouble doing it himself, so we shall see. We will save about $800 if he can put it down himself so that's a good incentive. The carpet we are having trouble with. I guess I just don't really like carpet or there are too many choices or I dunno but I can't find anything I remotely like unless it's just as expensive as hardwood. I dunno. Anybody want to pick out our carpet for me? anybody? Oh well stay tuned on that project. Maybe we'll do it the end of August or September.
Today I'm going to Motherhood Maternity in Memphis with Haley so hopefully I'll find some good stuff.
On the nausea front: I haven't had to take my Zofran everyday so I'm pretty happy about that. In the past week I've only taken it like 3 times:) I did get pretty sick last night though but I sometimes get sick at night even on the days I've taken the Zofran because it tends to wear off by the time I get home from work.
Ok well that's all for now.

15 weeks!

The bump with a shirt....

Now one of the naked belly because Jacob thinks it's more noticeable this way...

Welp things are going well my way. I'm starting to stretch out and show a lil bit.

Tuesday I had a lil bit of spotting and cramping and the doctor told me to call back Wednesday if I had intense cramping. Well of course I had some bad cramping so I went to the doctor Wednesday afternoon. Everything is fine. They found the heartbeat and checked me for infections and such. Everything checked out. So we're thinking that I'm having round ligament pain (stretching and growing) and the spotting was random. The fun part of my doctor visit was when they got the doppler out to get the heartbeat- The nurse had to chase the baby around my belly. Apparently the baby isn't laid back like me and Jacob, he is an active lil thing. ha

I go back to the doctor for my regular appointment next Friday and then we have the "big" ultrasound at the next visit (Aug. 27th) woot woot!

The nausea is getting a lot better too. I got LOTS of sleep last night so I've been feeling pretty good today, lot of energy. It's weird, I'm starting to feel normal again. I had almost forgot what it felt like to not be nauseous and tired. ha

Welp it's 8:15pm I'd better start getting ready for bed. lol. no seriously, good night;)

Shopping for maternity clothes=no fun

I went shopping yesterday determined to buy new clothes. My regular clothes were getting a lil tight before I got pregnant so I think that's why I have outgrown my clothes so fast.
I went to target and found nothing. Old Navy has no maternity in the store. Khols- nadda. I finally found one pair of jean capri's at Ross. I think my problem is that I can't get over how UGLY all the maternity clothes are. I really need to make it to Memphis to check out motherhood maternity. Really I just need 2 pair of dress pants and a few shirts right now. I know I should buy just enough to get me though for now and then shop again later. And I desperately need a new bra, but where in the heck do you buy such a big bra?! I guess motherhood maternity? suggestions? Anyone have any maternity clothes shopping tips? Do I need to buy the full panel pants early on? I've got the bellaband and worn it once- it was ok. Not in love with it but maybe I'll try it again.

Hello 2nd Trimester

Welp the first and (hardest?) trimester is under my belt....who am I kidding, I can't where a belt anymore;) I am totally starting to get a belly bump. I need to take a picture of my belly each week. But I have been putting it off because I didn't want a pic of my fat belly before I had a reason to be fat. ha I'm gonna have to go shopping this weekend sometime to get some new pants.
In other news, the nausea is getting better. kinda.

ummm...I can't think of anything else to say. Jacob says I should say how cool my belly feels. It feels kinda tight. Jacob said it feels like a balloon- kinda hollow but with pressure. idk its weird.

ok next update will be interesting. maybe...

12 Weeks

There's no 12 weeks update with a picture from the 3dpregnancy website because this week likens my baby to the size of a vienna sausage and it made me gag a lil bit. ha
We had our 12 week check up today. It was pretty boring just weigh in, blood pressure,and the whole "how are you? Any questions?" yada yada. But one cool thing happened we got to hear the heart beat again on the dopplar. It was 168.
The next appointment is the 30th and then the appointment after that (8/27) we find out the sex. woo
