Between multiple Thanksgivings and moving into our new apartment, I missed updating week 13. Hopefully things will calm down a little now and I can get back on track.
One of the major updates in my pregnancy was my appointment the week of Thanksgiving. Mom came with me to my appointment because Josh had to finish fixing the truck so they could get started on another job, but I figured he wasn't going to be missing out on much and that he would be at the gender appointment on the 12th of December. Mom and I waited almost an hour for Dr. Chandler since he was out delivering a baby and after waiting a bit longer, one of his nurses came in and asked if we'd like to see one of the midwives, Dr. Susan Myers. We decided yes and followed the nurse into another room and as soon as Dr. Myers greeted us, I knew I loved her. She was so sweet and sugary and so friendly. I told her about prenatals making me nauseous and she recommended Flintstone vitamins with Iron, so I got started on those. And yes, another month has went by and at my appointment, I still haven't gained any weight. Dr. Myer's asked me if I've been eating plenty or if I've just been working out. If reaching for the remote is considered working out, then yes I have! One of the surprises we got was that we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was so neat and Mom and I got a little emotional hearing it. After that enjoyable appointment, I decided that I wanted to change from Chandler to Myers and made the change the very next day. And I couldn't be happier. :)
So now, with a new doctor and a new home complete with an extra bedroom for our little Woodward, we can finally start planning and nesting for his or her arrival. I know I am only on week 14 of my pregnancy, but I can't say it enough how much I am ready for some growing belly magic! I've been looking out for movements, but I can't tell if it's a movement or gas. I'm sure I will be more aware once I'm farther along.
How far along? 14 weeks
Total weight gain: No weight gain! Whoop whoop!
Maternity clothes? I've been stealing lots of Josh's shirts. Sorry for the stretchiness. :)
Stretch marks? I foresee more showing up in my future.
Sleep: Apparently, I'm snoring a lot and loudly, so I must be sleeping very well.
Best moment this week: Watching Josh do the pelvic thrust while we were watching the Rocky Horror Glee Show :p
Miss Anything? Nothing I can think of.
Movement: I thought I felt something a few nights ago when I was getting angry with the loud upstairs neighbors, like baby might have known I was getting upset.
Food cravings: PIZZA! And sweet stuff!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular
Gender: We find out one week from tomorrow! :D
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Starting to feel a little more energetic. I did 3 loads of laundry, folded it and dishes in the same afternoon. WHOA!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY :)
Looking forward to: December 12th
