16 WEEKS!!

16 weeks today! YIPPEE! ENTERING my 5th month-WOW!

I know by looking at the pictures that my belly is getting bigger but I feel bigger EVERYWHERE but the belly LOL. I just feel huge! I have decided to wear the same shirt and jeans in all the belly shot pics until I can't fit into them any more. It makes it easier to see the progression I think. Feeling....I'm feeling pretty darn good. I haven't puked in over a week-yippee! I have some heartburn-it comes and goes. My blood pressure has been normal thanks to meds-yay! I go to the Dr. Monday for a visit & sono and a repeat of my 24 hour urine test. I think ALL 7 kids will be able to make it to the sonogram-Should I call ahead and warn the tech? We will hopefully be able to see if we need to buy pink or blue! ANY GUESSES on the gender??????

Fears...I fear that since I feel so well, the baby is not okay. I don't think the fear of this baby being okay will leave until he/she is safe in my arms. I haven't felt terrible sick for a couple weeks & I KNOW this is normal but the fear is still there. Just being honest....

Movement...My oldest came by for a visit last night and I THINK I felt "something" on my right side while I was standing there talking to her. Like a "wave" in my belly. Was it the babe??????

Cravings...Wild Cherry Pepsi a day and it gives me some much needed "pep" during the afternoon while homeschooling the big kids as the little ones nap. TWIZZLERS, ANY Potatoes, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with PICKLES-not ON the sandwich...bite of grilled cheese, bite of pickle and so on. I still have not resumed any desire for chocolate which is SO NOT ME!

Until Monday....
