19 weeks 3 days

I went to the beach last week and felt like a huge blimp. I got so sunburned, worse than I ever have. It was miserable. I got sick after eating at Lambert's, the first time I threw up in my whole pregnancy. Well besides brushing my teeth, which I forgot to mention that every time I brush my teeth now I gag myself and I have thrown up a couple of times. Anyways, I think throwing up at Lambert's was a combination of the sunburn, getting too hot, and eating too much.

Today I felt you kick for the first time, or it was the first time I was positive it was a kick. It was very weird and awesome at the same time. I have felt him move for several weeks but this was the first kick.I am actually feeling like I am pregnant now. My belly is starting to look like a pregnant one and I am now wearing maternity clothes (or bottoms) most of the time. They are just so much more comfortable, I don't know why people don't wear them all the time. Josh and I still can't agree on a name. We have narrowed it down to 3 names, hope we can agree on one soon.

Me, Heather, and Neva went to the Kids Sale in Birmingham and I bought so much stuff. I said I was going to wait until my 20 week sonogram to confirm that he is a boy, but I couldn't help myself. I got tons of clothes and a lot of the big things that we needed. I also ordered his bedding from rainbee.com, it should be here soon. I am so excited to start working on his room. I have spent countless hours looking at nursery pictures to get ideas from.

Here is a pic of his bedding.

Boy or Girl????

Tomorrow I will be 17 weeks. We found out that we could go to Virginia College and get a free sonogram done. Our Dr's office will not do another sonogram until 20 weeks and I can not wait 3 weeks to find out. Me, Josh, and his mom and dad went today to the college. The lady showed us all the different parts of the baby it was really neat. We were there forever because it had it's legs crossed and then finally she said "that's a leg, that's a leg, and that in the middle is not a leg". I wish we would have recorded Josh's face it was like he had accomplished this great thing, creating a boy. I know I said before I didn't have a feeling about what it was but the past week or two Josh and I both thought it was a girl. We had decided on a name and everything. Again, I guess my instincts were off. I am very excited and nervous at the same time about having a little boy. We called everyone as soon as we got out of there. My mom doesn't know what to think, she has only ever had me. And my grandmother, which I forgot to mention, when I told her I was pregnant said it better not be a stinking boy. I believe that's because she has 10 grand kids and most of them are boys. I called her and she said she reckoned she would love it anyways :) Oh and I think Holley and Adam were most excited about it being a boy, now Aiden has a boy to play with.

This is the picture that told us IT IS A BOY!!!

16 weeks

Wow 16 week already! Things are still going great. Everyone was right, the second trimester rocks. I believe I am feeling a little fluttering but I can't be for sure. I am getting bigger everyday. I hate this stage where I just look fat and not pregnant. I am ready for the pregnant belly. It is getting harder to sleep. I usually sleep on my back and they say not to at 16 weeks. So now I am paranoid about it and I wake up every hour afraid I'm on my back(which I usually am).  I am also getting up in the middle of the night to pee. That drives me crazy, because I have to crawl over Josh. We swapped sides of the bed for a few weeks but that didn't work because I did not like his side. When Josh is on night shift I sleep great because I have the bed all to myself. I wonder if he minds sleeping on the couch for the next 5 months :). 16 week Dr's appointment was the same as last time, in and out. Everything was still good. I gained 1 and 3/4 lb. I refuse to round it to 2. So far, so good going by the Dr's scale only 3 and 3/4 lbs so far. My cravings are now cubed cheese. Yes, strange I know and I am starting to eat pickles too. It's true what they say about pregnant women and pickles. Oh and I am completly obsessed with starburst.
