I'm not posting the full body pictures because I had just gotten out of the shower and didn't even BRUSH my hair!!

Heartbeat

Doctor Appointment

We had our 2nd Doctor Appointment yesterday - this is the one we got to hear the heartbeat at! The heart was beating at 163 beats per minute. The doctor told us she had a gut feeling it was a boy, which of course made Chris happy! I told him though there is no way to know until we get our 20 week ultrasound so not to give his hopes up too much ; )

I did record the sound of the heartbeat so I'll try to post that soon!

I'm late again. Guess what?!?!? I look like hell again! This time I'd spent the day at the hospital (I'll post on my other blog in re. to it), it was late and I was tired....I'm posting from the hospital now...joy.

Also - I wanted to point out something - My mom mentioned that it looks like I'm arching my back/sticking my stomach out in my pictures, but I'm not...I have a huge bow in my back, it's just the way my back is arched (mom says that my dad is the same way). I can lay on my back on the floor and there's a good 2 inch gap between my lower back and the floor. SoooOOooo...Just wanted to point that out!

What's Been Going On

1. I've been gaining more weight. I'm gaining too quickly, so starting yesterday I am doing a better job at eating healthier and tracking (not restricting, necessarily) my calories. I think I was taking in a lot more than I realized.

2. Still really tired and not sleeping well at nights. It goes in spurts, one night I'll sleep semi-well, the next not at all....

3. HAIRY. The hair on my legs seems to grow so fast, I can't keep up with. My belly is fuzzy too. Ick!

4. My niece, Jessi, told me I was "punkett" - which when I asked her what that meant she told me "That's when someone is really tall and has a big belly!" - I'm assuming she made the word up, but it was hilarious....

5. Getting way more used to the maternity pillow. I like it a lot. Chris hates it. He says it comes in between us, which, since it's as big as a person, does - but it helps me sleep, so he'll have to live with it!

6. I've still been keeping up with working out. Hopefully now that I'm tracking my food again I will start gaining at a slower speed - which is what needs to happen.

7. I went shopping and bought some longer sweaters for this winter. I got most out of the Junior section, which is cheaper than purchasing maternity clothes. I ended up ordering 3 pair of pants online though - 1 pair of brown dress pants and 2 pair of jeans - I haven't gotten them yet, and I don't need them yet, but they were on sale so I went ahead and ordered them. I used JcPenney's maternity this time, they are a bit cheaper than Motherhood Maternity. I'm hoping the quality of their dress pants are the same that I ordered from Motherhood.

That's about it for now! Have a great day.

I'm a bit late posting these - I've been soooo tired lately that I don't ever feel like doing a thing. Unfortunatley, that included taking pictures this night which is why there are only 2....and my eyes look like I'm about to pass out!
