Stupid Doctors

Remember when I mentioned my Dr. office was being bought out and merging with another?
Well, I had scheduled my ultrasound for this Friday,
and they told me it would prob need to be rescheduled.
So I'd been calling them for the last 4 days trying to figure it out.

Left 4 messages and no one called.
So I finally got a hold of someone today and they couldn't fit me in.
For almost 2 weeks!!
GGGRRRRR

So now I'm not going in until June 7.
BOO.

Thanks Doc.
So much for making "the transition as smooth as possible!!"

18 Weeks

I feel so big for being 18 weeks!

New Things

I've experienced some 'firsts' in the last few weeks.

So I've felt the baby moving a lot.
Not hard kicks or anything yet,
but def moving.

I can tell this one will be a kicker already.

Also, my belly button popped out.
I wasn't expecting it to happen this early.
But sure enough,
I have an "outtie" belly button now.

I feel much bigger than I did with Peyton.
They say thats true with 2nd pregnancies
and it doesn't help that I'm so small.

But I'm ok with that.
Still wish I could find some maternity clothes though!!!
I'm on a desperate look out for bottoms!

And the itching,
OH the itching.
I do remember this well with Peyton.
When your tummy starts stretching out,
it starts itching like crazy!!!
Its driving me nuts already....

5/17/2010 Doc Appt.

Had another appt. today.

Apparently my doctors office was bought out and is merging with another.

So I am getting a new doctor.
Its a good thing I'm not too picky about these things.

Baby's heartbeat today was 145.
But she had a really hard time getting it, because the baby was moving too much.
It did not want to be listened to apparently.

I've gained 2 lbs since last time.

He also recommended a great doctor to help with my sciatic nerve pain.
So I'm excited for that.

They also scheduled my ultrasound.
Right now its for Fri May 28,
but with the switch of doctors, they will most likely change the appt.

But it should be within 3 weeks at the longest.
So I'm pretty stoked for that!!

16 Weeks

Yep, I've got a little tummy.

5/5/2010 Doctor Appt.

I had a Doc. Appt. today

Baby's heart rate was 155.
Very strong. :)
I love hearing that sweet sound.

I weighed in at 107 lbs.
Which means I've thus gained approx. 5 lbs.
Pretty good.

That was about it.
I have another appt in 2 weeks and we'll get to schedule the ultrasound then.

It should happen the last week of May
or first week of June.

Yeah.
Can't wait!

Strawberries

I just love fresh fruit.

We've had lots of strawberries this week.
Strawberry waffles.
Strawberries on my cereal.
Strawberry Smoothies.
YUM.

And for dessert at night...

Vanilla ice cream
Strawberries
And hot fudge. Seriously, heaven in a bowl.
More please.

Frustrations

I meant to take another belly pic.
But not today.
Maybe next week.

But I'm feeling much bigger.
I think I've gained about 5 lbs at this point, but it feels like more.

Several of my jeans are too tight to wear.
Which doesn't leave me with many options seeing as how they don't make maternity pants small enough to fit me!
I only have one pair of jeans from when I was prego with Peyton.
I mostly lived in Colby's clothes or work-out clothes.
but the jeans I have from her, still fit me well.

So then, I bought a box of maternity clothes off craigslist.
This lady was as small as me so I had hopes that the clothes would fit.

Well, the shirts and dresses are great.
But the pants drown me.
(and I'm not talking around the belly because I know I'm not all that big yet)
They drown me in the leg/thigh/butt area too.
Like really DROWN me.

So I have gone through several stores and found the same problem.
I have to special order my size.
which costs extra.
Looks like I'll be living in cotton, stretchy skirts and dresses all summer.

Any one know where to find cheap and size XS clothes?!!
I'm just a little frustrated.
especially since I'm quickly growing out of my non-maternity jeans.

But really, I am showing.
Although to other people, I think I prob just look fat.

HELP.

15 weeks

I'm now a little over 15 weeks.

I'm feeling much better.
The morning sickness is gone.
I still have some fatigue, but not bad.

I still get light-headed, but not as often.

And my sciatic nerve/lower back...
well thats still killing me.

I've also had some cramps in my stomach.
Is that weird?
I don't remember all that much with Peyton, and I don't remember if I had cramps with her.
I hope it doesn't mean anything bad.

I have a Dr. appt. tomorrow though.
I hope they'll schedule my ultrasound.
I can't wait to find out what we're having!
