Week 17

The boys and I got to feel the bean move lastnight!! It wasn't just subtle movement either, this kid was going nuts, they both thought it was pretty cool! Bailey says he remembers the time Brady was in my belly and he could feel his foot pressed on the side of my stomach!

Anyways I had my doctors appointment on Tuesday. All went well, gaining weight like a champ, and the beans heartbeat was at 154 bpm. I don't know how accurate measurements are but I measured 17 1/2 weeks- which on Tuesday I was almost 17 weeks, so alittle ahead of schedule, which is ok with me!! I would love a Labor Day baby and it would seem appropriate since Bailey was a Thanksgiving baby and Brady was a Memorial weekend baby, why break the tradition now! LOL Still feeling sick and the headaches are almost daily now. My doctor said the headaches could be from not getting enough calories, but I assured her that is so not the case!! And as far as the sickness, I hope the end of that is in sight soon! I am doing a little experiment today, usually I take my prenatal vitamin in the morning, but decided to not take it today and see how I feel. So far so good, knock on wood, if it works and makes me feel better I will take it before I go to bed at night. I don't know if that is it, but it is worth a shot I guess!

I also scheduled an appointment for an ultrasound on the 22nd of April. So do we or don't we? Rodney said that it is totally up to me, and of course I am leaning more towards on not finding out, I guess I am kind of old fashion that way!

Until next time..... pray for the sickness and the headaches to end!!! And some warmer weather to start!

I'm so excited for you! With all these pregnancies and new babies - I'm getting the itch! Dean says he's moving out if I decide I want 4! LOL

I wish you luck with taking the vitamins at night, that worked for me. Maybe that'll help the head aches too?

You're in my prayers.

You know what I'm going to say - you HAVE to find out what the baby is, you are killing me!!

I hope that taking your vitamin at night helps. I know the misery of morning sickness and I wouldn't wish it on anyone!!

I started taking my pre-natal vitamins at night from the start. I was really paranoid about them making me sick. I hope it helps you - I didn't feel sick much at all.
