16 WEEKS!!

I have just been sick sick sick!! These last few weeks have by far been the toughest of my pregnancy. I thought things were suppose to get easier!! lol. I've had severe migraines that last over 12 hrs and my OB prescribed Tylenol w/ codeine which I had an allergic reaction to and threw up 9x that day. My puking has gone down from 4-6x to 2-4x so that's good. Headaches have become more manageable and I'm finally about to sit at the computer long enough without vomiting so that's a plus! I just want my energy back. I haven't seen my friends in months and I haven't had a good thorough house cleaning in foreeeever!! Every day I cross my fingers that today is the day the MS goes away..but that has yet to happen. lol. On another note, we find out the gender this Saturday!! SOOOOO excited!! I can't believe in 5 days we'll FINALLY have a name instead of 'Baby G'. We're definitely going with Michael for a boy and Mia for a girl. Obviously this baby is a blessing no matter what but I keep going back and forth as to what gender I think it is. Majority of this pregnancy I thought boy. Then the other night a had a dream it was a girl and now I'm thinking girl. lol. I guess it's a 50/50 shot right? Chinese gender chart says boy. Will be interesting to see if it's correct. It will be so fun to finally buy gender specific items instead of gender neutral. I'll definitely post again Saturday with the news!!

13 weeks!

So my Dr appointment on Monday went great. We love our new OB and we got to hear the heartbeat at the office. On Tuesday we had our ultrasound and saw our baby doing flips on the screen. It was absolutely hilarious. I wish we could've gotten it on video. I get the results of the U/s at my next appt next week along with my BW results. I'm so happy to be in the 2nd trimester!! Baby is the size of a peach today. :) yesterday was the 1st day I haven't thrown up since wk 7 so I'm hoping that's a good sign. So far today I've been holding down my food as well. I still have nausea, headaches and heartburn once 2p.m. hits. But at least I know the baby is getting some food. Now that I'm not puking I'm hoping to start eating healthy. I've gained 1 lb my 1st trimester and even though my OB said I can gain 25-30 lbs. I'd like to stay under 20 lbs. We went to Mikes grandparents yesterday to tell them the news in person. We put the U/S pic in a frame that said 'baby' and gift wrapped it. His grandfather wanted to be the one to open it and as soon as he did he looked puzzled. Then his eyes filled with tears and he yelled "YOU!!??" and he started crying. It then made me start crying because I adore his grandparents like they are my own. He started saying how happy we've made him and he's been praying every night for us and he's so excited to have another great grandchild. Him and I went outside and he said the sweetest things to me and made me tear up again. I will be devastated when their time comes. It was a memory I'll cherish forever. Nothing else to update since I'm held captive in my own home at the moment. Here's hoping 2nd tri is nice to me so I can get my life back. I'll update how my next OB appt goes next week!
