19 weeks...

Well week 19 was not too bad.  I'm starting back up with walking and my company has a challenge in the works from 8/29-9.25 and that always helps keep me honest.  My cold is nearly all gone and I feel so much better.  Presently we are trying to find a new home for our problem cat.  We just can't get trust her.  She is very unpredictable and has hurt me.  Sometimes she's playing other times she's getting even because I won't let her do something she wants.  So far none of the shelters will take her and I've reached out to an old co-worker that has a farm in her family.  I'm thinking that's her only option other than putting her down. One of the shelters actually said I should do just that.  I'd rather her be able to run and play then have her life snuffed out intentionally.

Anyway, I have my OB app today and MFM tomorrow for the anatomy scan.  I'm looking forward to finding out what this little one will be.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts hurt on and off
• Tired
• Stomach is getting bigger and rounder
• Sciatica pain
• I feel pains in my abdomen in different areas.  Guess things are stretching out to fit baby

18 weeks...

Other than this awful cold, things have been uneventful.  Work is a bit stressful but that's all.  I'm trying to start planning and cleaning up.  I'm signing J and I up for some classes at the hospital. Childbirth classes, bringing home baby and the hospital tour.  They will all be in October.  Can't believe how quickly time is moving by.  I've started a list of baby items we'll be needing.  J is a bit shocked by the price tag but it is what it is.  I'm also needing to look into childcare.  I was thinking a company would be better but it might be too pricey.  Home day care seems more affordable.  Just worried about the safety of our baby.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts don't hurt as much but nipples seem very sensitive
• Tired but because of this cold
• Stomach is definitely getting bigger
• Sneezing and coughing still.  Lots of congestion

17 weeks...

So, we had our OB appointment last Wed when I was officially 17 weeks.  This app was only to listen to the heartbeat.  With it came lots of kicking from the little one.  I still don't feel the kicking yet but hoping soon.  On Friday I started having a sore throat and feeling bad.  By nightfall, it was a full blown cold,  I've been miserable all weekend and even now.  All I can take is Tylenol.  Whoop dee do.  I might as well take nothing.  Well, it's for the greater good, right?  I just keep trying to tell myself that over and over again.


Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts don't hurt as much since I bought bras that fit
• Tired but probably because of this nasty old cold
• Stomach looks a bit bigger.  
• Sneezing and coughing from this crazy cold

16 weeks...

This has been a wonderful week.  For starters, I'm feeling much better these days.  J and I also had a trip to visit J's family for an anniversary party.  It was really nice to see everyone.  It's been way too long between visits and hopefully we don't have to wait too long to do this again.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts still hurting.
• Still tired
• Odd feeling in my belly.  Sometimes one side is hard and the other mushy.  Usually happens when I wake up in the middle of the night.
