16 Week Update!

So here we are at sixteen weeks.  Week has been pretty good.  Feeling a little better, for the most part. 

I had terrible pain on Friday due to the gallbladder issue but was feeling back to normal by the next morning.

We had an excellent doctor visit at the beginning of the week too where we found out we were having a GIRL!!

We are over the moon excited!  Not that we had a preference but it just makes it a little more real to know the gender.  You can start planning (in your head at least) and really envisioning what the near future will hold for you as a family.  Its pretty cool.

Oh, another pretty cool thing that happened this week, we got our fetal doppler!  I was on the fence about getting one for a long time but finally decided that it was worth it for the peace of mind it gives us.  We are now able to listen to our baby girl's heartbeat anytime we (or I) get a little anxious.  I assume that anxiety will lessen once I start to feel her regularly but for now, this will have to do.

At 16 weeks my stats havent changed so I won't include the long list but I will include some pictures!

Starting our baby registry!  I know its kinda early but we were just excited to get started! 
And on yea, we had a little helper!  She's too excited to be an Aunt.

The hubby took this pic while sitting on one of the gliders...
He needed a break....umm whos the pregnant one here!?

15 Week Update

Here we are in the second trimester and I'm not feeling any better yet.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will happen any day now for me.  I was feeling better for about a day.  That day was a fluke!  Who knows what was going on there!?

Anyway, other than the nausea, I have been feeling pretty good.  I am still taking my shots nightly and they are not so bad.  They will probably get harder though as the baby gets bigger.  It's going to be really hard for me to do it anywhere other than the belly.  (I'm used to the belly shots!)

Everyone is pretty certain this baby is gonna be a boy, all except my sister, so we will have to wait a few weeks to find out who is right.  Hubby and I just want a healthy baby, gender is a non-issue this time.  The first time around we wanted a boy very badly and we got him  :).

We are so in love with this baby already!  I can't imagine what its going to feel like when he is finally here!  Keep on growing babybean!

Oh yea, I just wanted to post this picture of the best husband in the world doing arts and crafts on the weekend when he would probably rather be doing anything else.  We saw this cute idea on Pinterest about weekly pregnancy updates using a chalkboard and since we couldnt find a chalkboard at the store, we transformed an old mirror into one.  I think it might need another coat of the chalkboard paint and maybe some darker chalk but I think it came out pretty cute!
