Water water everywhere

Totally thirsty all the time and if I drink another glass of water I'll float away. Ack! We start week 20 tomorrow.

Definitely "popped"

Well, it's official - I can't zip up my pants any more. The baby bulge went from hardly a bump to "boom" - hello I'm a belly. Almost overnight, amazing! I need to go by maternity pants right away. Nothing fits that fit last week. What a weird thing!

Week 19: Baby Doc Visit

19 weeks and it's official - it's a boy :) The doctor was making me laugh - he handed us a set of three pictures and said "Here's the skull, you can see the eye sockets here, and here's a foot, and in this third picture, here's the penis. I'll just circle the penis." Then he takes out a pen and does! Hilarious!
The ultrasound looked good - baby is coming along fine and my cervix looks good too. Although they are 99% sure that the miscarriage was due to the fibroid, they are keeping an eye on the cervix "just in case."

17 weeks, Baby doc visit

More pictures and another thumbs up visit to the baby doc at 17 weeks.
Symptoms: Swollen hands and feet, uncomfortableness while sleeping (or rather, while tossing), occasionaly sharp pain in the left hip area.
Baby stats: heartbeat 144 bpm, 6 inches (give or take) long, and a big ham waving at the sonogram :)

First Movement

Felt the baby move this morning. Felt like someone lightly drumming their fingers on the inside of me. Very odd!
