Went to the dr monday and found out the sex. I just about screamed when she said it was a boy! I don't know why, but i just wanted this baby to be a boy so bad. I asked her like a hundred times if she was sure and she said yes. R proceeded to bust my balls by saying "no, its a girl w/a vagina that sticks out!" The u/s pic does confirm that he is a boy, check out that blob looking thing to the right of BOY basically pointing at the word. Yep, that would be his little penis! Everything else in the u/s looked great. He's developing right on time and doing amazing. He was moving around like crazy! I have to get another u/s done when i go back in a few weeks b/c she couldn't get a clear enough view of his heart chambers, and she said hopefully then we'll also get that really cute profile picture.
I'm just gonna go on about my updates and fill in more details as i go.
I finally felt him for the 1st time on monday!!! Now i've felt him every day, but not a ton. When we did the u/s he was moving all around like crazy and the woman doing it actually said she feels a little bad for me, so i'm guessing at some point this will get annoying. Hey, i don't care, it means he's doing good in there! Now i can't wait for R to b able to feel him.
I weighed in this morning at 115 (114.8 to be exact!). That's 2lbs less than monday morning, when i was extremely bloated and ate a bit too much before bed. Of course then at the dr's its worse b/c i always weigh more there anyways, and add to that that i didn't poop all day! Its so weird, i feel like every time i go there i can't poop all day, its like a big joke on me. I met w/a different dr at my monday appt and she said if my weight gain continues at the rate its at, i'll be at like 40lbs when i'm done and that's a little bit higher then they like. She said if there's even 1 thing that i'm eating daily that i probably shouldn't be, if i just cut that out it should help. Honestly, as bad as i've been feeling about my weight gain, their #s are wrong. They're going by the pre-pregnancy weight i told them i was at at home, yet their scales always weigh me in at least 3lbs more. Still, i'm doing what i can to get in as much exercise as possible w/o overdoing it. I'm also trying to not eat much for carbs at night and also limit what i eat after dinner, sticking to mainly just fruit and maybe a little bit of natural pb. Those little things might just be what i need, so we'll see. The rate i'm calculating, i should gain under 35lbs when all done, but i don't know.
My nipples have been killing me! Sorry, but they've just been so sore! I know it's not gonna get any better for a long time, so i'll just suffer thru it.
I keep forgeting to mention that i have heartburn most days. I rarely ever got heartburn, or gas, before so its weird for me. But i'm dealing w/it just fine.
Went to the dr about my tendinitis in my wrist and i bascially have to suffer thru it til i can get another injection after i have the baby. He said if my ob oks it, i could get another injection now. But he said there's a slight risk to the baby and i just don't even think its worth the risk, so i'll wait. Ugh! It sucks b/c it really is painful!
I thought i had pulled a muscle in my sleep the other night, turns out this feeling is a normal part of pregnancy. I guess i should try to stretch more in hopes this will help. Just another fun "side effect" of being pg.
I feel like i'm doing better in controling my moods. I'm also on cloud 9 at the moment since finding out i'm having a boy, so hopefully that'll help too. I really am trying not to get pissed at nothing, so far i do have to say its working. Hoping to keep it up!
I started my registry online and bru. R isn't interested in helping w/the registry, which i'm actually glad about, so i decided to just start it online myself. Its soooooooo overwhelming! But i'm getting things added pretty much daily and my mom and i will head to the store itself in a couple weeks. Its still fun too!
Thats it, til next time...
