Since Sarah called me out on Facebook for slacking on the blog, I figured it was about time for an update. Here's an update on how the past month of the pregnancy has been going. Weeks 12-15=feeling very BLAH! Still didn't have much of an appetite. I would have occasional good day but they felt like they were few and far between - I guess that would explain the weight loss. Yes, looking back it wasn't that bad and I know several women who have had it much worse, so I would try hard to not complain. After being sick for the last time on August 18th, I have been feeling fairly decent. I only had one day that I didn't feel good. I went to the doctor for my week 16 checkup and she found the heartbeat within about 30 seconds. It felt longer when she initially started searching. That truly is the most AHHHHMAZING sound in the whole world. I also believe I have been feeling the baby. It feels like popcorn popping and it doesn't happen very often - if what I feel is the baby then baby really likes Daddy's voice because the other night he came home and started talking and the popcorn was a really popping. I am still anxiously awaiting that first kick where I know for sure that's what I feel.
Here are a few stats:
How far along? One day shy of 17 weeks!!!
Total weight gain/loss: Loss of 8lbs
Sleep: Not as tired...through the night I only wake up to use the restroom.
Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat at the doctor's office
What I miss: Ice Cream - for whatever reason this is something that Baby Liefer doesn't want Mommy to enjoy
Movement: I believe so
Food Cravings: Tequitos (Casa Ramon style - thank God my sister-in-law was a cook there and remembers how to make these), chocolate chip cookies, Dr. Pepper
What I am looking forward to: Feeling the first kick
Baby's Milestones: He/She is now the size of an onion. As of last week, baby was already able to hear.
