21 weeks

Okay so I abandoned this blog for about a month...yikes!
I am doing pretty good, and little bean is doing great!  We had our big ultrasound last Thursday and everything was tickety boo!  We did not find out the sex of the baby, as we want to keep it a surprise.  DH thinks it will be a boy though, so we shall see!

My DS is still very excited about becoming a big brother...he kisses my belly and wants to listen to the baby on the doppler all the time.  It is really sweet!  He flip flops daily from wanting a brother to wanting a sister.  So hopefully he won't care either way.

I have been feeling pretty good, back aches a bit and if I twist the wrong way I get round ligament pain that can drop me to my knees in a hurry, but other than that good.  No really strong cravings for anything, I just love food in general!  My current weight is 125 lbs.  I went up to 140 last time, and I think I'll hit 150 this time.  I hope not, but I think I might :)

I haven't set up the nursery yet as I am waiting for DH to build a spare room in the basement so that we can move everything out of the spare room which is to become the nursery.  Been pinning lots of ideas though and am started to get excited to set it all up.  Guess I may have to start nagging a little...

HAPPY JUNE 1ST!!!!!!

15w6d Quickening!

So for sure I am feeling the unmistakable bubblings of my little bean in my belly.  I have thought I have felt him or her a few times before now, but for whatever reason, I have been feeling them ALL morning today!  It's awesome!
I don't know how to really describe it, it's like little bubbles popping in my belly.  Kind of a tickly butterfly feeling.  It's the best feeling!

Other than that I am feeling about the same.  I still have morning sickness if I don't take my diclectin every night...but hey I can live with that.  We gather all together (DH, DS and I) to listen to bean on the doppler about once a week.  This reassures me big time!  The heartbeat is still strong at around 155 bpm.  I have an OB clinic appointment tomorrow - just my monthly weigh-in, BP check, etc.  I had the part 2 bloodwork done for screening but haven't gotten any results yet.  I am not too worried though because everything looked really good at my NT scan.

I am actually starting to think that we need to start thinking about names, making a nursery, etc.  The Fall will be here before we know it!

I must say that I am really enjoying being preggers!  I am gaining really fast, am huge (will upload new belly pics soon) and can already feel my ribcage spreading apart!  (Ouch!)
