Baby Update

I just got back from the doctor for my 16 week appt! Things are looking great! Heartbeat was still strong, my uterus is making its way up, just under my belly button, I have finally gained back some weight, 3 lbs, and I'm happy to report I haven't gotten sick in a WEEK!! I'm still 7lbs down from the start of my pregnancy but she said she's starting my weight gain from when I started gaining! So my pre-preg weight just comes down. I'm on day 2 of weening off the Zofran and hope that it's over, and I'll be able to stay off of it this time. Say some prayers. Baby C's heartbeat today ranged from 149-152! My belly has also officially popped out!! Wow, has it! I literally woke up one day and there it was! So weird isn't it! I have attached a pic! I feel like it looks pretty big in this picture, but doesn't seem THAT big in real life, but I might be kidding myself. B/C I have been taking my measurements to see where my weight gain goes, so I can focus on getting it off after baby.

16 week Stats
3lbs gained
Hips - no change
Waist - +7 inches
Bust - +2 inches
No longer can wear my pants, buttoned at least. I wear the bella band and it works for now. Got a great pair of Maternity Sevens online and they are working great also. I'm also loving my leggings and dresses. Thankfully the boobs haven't grown too much, much to Jeff's dismay, but I'm very thankful, as that was my biggest concern.
I developed a pregnancy rash on my chest that drives me crazy and went to the dermatologist. He says it might likely be there until I have this baby! Boo! But gave me some stuff that should help with the itch in the meantime.

Also, if you're interested here is a video from our 13 week appt/screening of the ultrasound. It's kind of long, but she changes to 4D toward the end which is cool.
We got all Negative test results from our screenings which was a relief! :) (video was taking FOREVER to download and wasn't even progressing. Any Help? I'll see what I can do to post it later.)

Here is a pic of Parker for fun! It's from his B'day and we gave him his football pants and his mom and dad got him a new jersey! He thought he was soo cool!!

  3. Tip, I know, I have much further to go, but man, this protrusion came out of no where! I might have spoken too soon too, I threw up this morning. :( Other than that, YES, I have energy again and see that there is light just around the corner.
