18 week belly pic

So here's the latest pic of the baby belly. I go back to the doctor in two weeks for my next appt and should find out what I'm having then. I'm at 12 lbs weight gain and not too happy about it but I'll just pretend it's less for mental reasons, LOL! We're going to start cleaning out the baby's room this coming weekend so that when we find out what we're having we can start fixing it up! YAY!!! I've been feeling the baby move for about two weeks now and Nick should be able to feel it in the next few weeks. It seems to like to play on my left side a whole lot! And, of course, when I lay down to go to sleep it goes crazy moving. I had my first set of cankles (swollen ankles) last weekend and it was awful! I got really sunburned at the beach (everywhere but belly) and my ankles started swelling. They did off and on for a couple of days and haven't been back. It was heartbreaking looking at my feet! I'm so glad to have them back to normal, for now.

15 weeks

Sorry I haven't been able to update this lately. The power cord to my laptop gave out on me and I had to order a new one. Well as you can see my belly has been plenty busy growing!!! I go to the doctor Thursday and will set up my appointment for the ultrasound then to find out what we're having. Now that i'm in my second trimester I'm finally starting to get a little energy back. I had a set back with my energy level last week when my heart decided to go a little crazy on me but seems to be doing much better now. My OB doc said I have supraventricle tachacardia (spelling???) but it's nothing to worry about. It just means when my heart starts racing I need to sit down for a minute. I will go to the cardiologist on May 11th to see what he thinks so I'll let you know how that goes. It's an adjustment to get used to not being able to do the same amount of stuff from before I was pregnant. I also want to mention that one of my friends whom was around 6 months pregnant lost her baby a little over a week ago, so please keep her in your prayers. She is a very strong person both mentally and spiritually but this is a huge thing to overcome! I'll be posting much more often than this last time so check back for more picts!
