it's been a while since i updated, but now that the pregnancy is becoming more obvious (and interesting!) i think i'll try to do an update at least weekly. i was 17 weeks last saturday, and it's not really a secret to anyone anymore. i'm almost entirely in maternity or "flowy" clothes now - cannot fit into my normal pants to save my life! even some of my more forgiving pants won't work with a rubber band. sigh.
a few weeks ago, i had my 2nd prenatal with my OBGYN. nick came and we both got to hear the heartbeat, which sounded strong and healthy. but i'm getting REALLY excited for my next prenatal, which happens in just over a week. we will have our ultrasound and find out the gender of the baby! i can't wait to just know who this baby is!
my weekly pregnancy updates tell me the baby is starting to hear now - i wonder if s/he likes the loud music i play in my car.... hrm, is that something i should stop? i have never had so many questions about so many things before, and i'm starting to get a bit nervous about the birth and the immediate-omigosh-i-have-a-baby that follows. but i think finding out the baby's gender will calm me down a bit because then i can PLAN and register and buy!
weird symptoms i never knew about: nose bleeds; very itchy head (i have a new shampoo coming soon to help combat that, since my stylist said she had the same problem)' starting to itch all over, which is a bit annoying; needing to cut my fingernails about twice a week now - so weird! i can honestly say pregnancy is the weirdest thing i've ever done in my life. i'm feeling much better recently, though: significantly less nauseous, and while still exhausted, i have more energy once i get out of bed or off the couch. i think once the baby starts moving, i'm going to really enjoy the next couple months! 8 more days until we learn who this baby is!
