Baby updates

I am going to try to be more viligant about keeping you all up to date on the baby progress. I am going to try and do weekly highlights to talk about what is going on with the pregnancy and baby. We will be 16 weeks on Monday! We go to the OB on Tuesday July 3rd, so look for a post after that. At that appt. we will doing the triple screen bloodwork and hear the heartbeat again. At week 20, we will know if we should buy pink or blue!!!

This past week we were 15 weeks. Our baby is roughly the size of a softball. My nausea is mostly gone as is the throwing up. Sometimes smells still get to me, but overall I am much more adjusting to food and smells. I have officially grown out of all my fitted pants.....but my stretchy pants and scrubs still fit. Tops are still OK but I am sure that will soon change. No significant food aversions or cravings, but I still can't eat whole chicken breasts. If the chicken is prepared another way, it is usually fine. I am trying to be good about food and make sure I get all my calcium, etc. I am still doing no caffine or artificial sweetners.

I went to a maternity store last night and it was depressing trying on clothes. Worst of all, I need a swimsuit. SCARY thought! We are going to Rockport at the end of July for a family reunion and I am positive I won't be able to get into my swimsuits I took on the honeymoon. Maternity suits all look like tents..........especially the ones I need!

Anyways....that is all I have! Will post after the OB appointment on Tuesday. Also just to warn everyone that we are not sharing the baby's name with anyone once we find out it if is a boy or girl........we want something to be a surprise! :)
