16 week update

hooray! last thursday we passed 16 weeks along in the pregnancy!

i'm starting to feel more like myself, unpregnant and itching for a shopping spree! i do have a cold (sore throat, throbbing headache and the sniffles) but nothing the bub and i can't handle.

in the past week, i've gone to thinking i'm never going to get a baby bump, to the start of a definate change in shape. things go very quickly, apparently, in the next couple of weeks. my jeans no longer do up (yes i still wear them.. the horror of an open fly!) so i'm trying to get creative now that it's getting colder and colder. i don't think the world is ready for me to walk around with a doona cape..

had a check up at the hospital today, and the obstetrician gave me the go ahead to see a midwife for the rest of the pregnancy, things are going very well i also got to hear the heartbeat again today!! the little one was hiding way lower than i thought, but it's beating strong and the doc was very happy.

i've been feeling the little movements more and more in the past month - from maybe once a week, to maybe 5-6 times a day now. i love it! but i can't wait for the REAL kicks so Regan can cop it .. i mean so he can join in on the fun

my next appointment is the scan at 19 weeks to see how things are going and to find out the baby's gender!!!!! at first, i really thought it was a girl but this past week i've really been swayed to believe it's a boy... we have about 3 weeks to go, so let the guessing begin!! Regan and I will definately find out, but whether we'll tell anyone else is yet to be decided...

p.s. for anyone waiting on emails from me, i apologise! the account is on my laptop, and my laptop doesn't connect to the internet 80% of the time for some weird reason ...
