22 Weeks

I didn't post last week because I posted the pictures the previous day. I figured that was good enough.
A pretty uneventful week. I have resorted to using the motorized carts when shopping at Wal-mart and such. If I have more than just one stop to make I am unable to finish my errands after walking around for an extended period of time. My hips just give out and I look like a duck out of water...waddling. It's not very pretty, and quite painful. I had the same condition with Ben and ended up on bedrest, so I am trying to prevent that from happening this time.
I go to the doctor Thursday to get permission to travel over the holidays. I'll probably have my insulin increased at that time as my sugar levels have been wacky. I think the baby is going through a growth spurt because I've been very hungry the last 2 days.
I may not post next week as I am unsure as to what kind of internet connection I will have, but regardless I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas with the ones you love!

Half Way Mark!!!

Okay, here is my 20 week belly shot. Don't laugh.
It's hard to believe I've hit 20 weeks! Still only halfway there though! Now the fun begins! Zachary has been doing what Jeff terms Zach Attack! He is kicking and moving like crazy. Sometimes it even hurts! He weighs about 10 oz now and is about 10 inches long. I have our "big" ultrasound on December 11th.
No weight gain yet, but I'm sure that's to come. For now I'm maintaining, which is sometimes harder than it sounds! No crazy cravings. The tomato craving is finally over, as is the squash craving. Hopefully my next craving will be as healthy as the first two!
Here's to another 20 ( hopefully 19) uneventful weeks!

19 weeks

Okay, I know I didn't post yesterday, but now I'm glad I didn't.

Last night while lying in bed, I felt a full fledged kick! It was so exciting...made my night! I had my hand resting on my belly and BAM!

What a great feeling (at least for now!).

150 days

150 days left! I just thought I would post on this wonderful occassion. It's hard to believe isn't it? I'll be even more excited when I'm under 100 days. Still a little over a week until the half way mark.

18 weeks

Gee...this week seemed long. You know how several months before your birthday you keep saying you're "almost" the next year older. Well this week it seems like I've been almost 18 weeks the whole week! I keep thinking I'm 19 weeks, but no, just 18 weeks.
I've decided to boycot Target and Amazon.com. Both sites have ripped me off this week. Both listed items for WAY lower than regular price, but then all the sudden they canceled the orders because of "pricing errors." Uh...that's your fault, not mine! So two great deals I thought I was getting I'm not getting at all. That's okay...shouldn't have tried to spend money anyway!
Not much new this week as you can tell. Counting down till 24 weeks...the edge of viability where he's got a chance of surviving if born. I'll feel better at 32 weeks though, which is still 14 weeks away.

Happy Birthday to me...

How come I don't feel like celebrating. Nothing seems right this year, except for this little one growing inside of me.
I just want my husband home.
I just want my kids to stop arguing...even if for one day...one hour would even be fine.
I don't want gifts. I don't want recognition...I just want those two things...
I'm feeling sorry for myself, and seriously hoping no one reads this blog today.
