18 weeks



I'm almost half way there!! I'm getting really bad migraines, so the Dr. prescribed me Tylenol 3. I took one last night for the first time because I had a horrible headache that was making me nauseous. The Tylenol3 made me feel really funny. I hate to take medicine and I hope the headaches stop soon, because I really don't want to have to take that medicine again. It helped a little, but it made me feel weird. It's hard to explain. Other than that, things are going good. I'm getting bigger and growing out of all of my clothes. The pants I have on in the picture are being held together by a rubber band!! I need to start shopping for BIGGER clothes! 

One more week and we find out boy or girl!!! I can't wait! Once we find out, we are going to go register. I have been looking for bedding, cribs, strollers, etc... There are so many options out there and everything is so expensive :(  If anyone has any advice for me, let me know! I found this really cute bedding at Babies R Us that is very modern, not very babyish, but I love it. I want bedding that the baby will be able to grow into and use in their later years. Trying to save money where we can!! My cousin Nicole and I are going to make the bedding for the baby!! I am so excited! It is going to be so cute! I will talk to everyone in a week! :)

3rd Appointment

 I have to say, if it is not one thing, it is another. The morning sickness is pretty much gone, but now I have horrible headaches. When I get bad headaches, it makes me nauseous.  I have had a headache now for 2 days. The doctor said she could prescribe me Tylenol 3, but that has codeine and it will just make me sleep. I really don't want to take anything unless I absolutely have to. With the way this headache is going, I might just have to. Will I ever get a break?!?! :)

Now to my appointment! I gained all most all of my weight back. I am now at 120 lbs.!! I finally got to hear the baby's heartbeat! I asked the doctor when we could look to see if we could find out the sex of the baby? She didn't have a patient waiting, so she said she would take a look right now. It is still a little early, but I just wanted her opinion. Plus, I wanted to see what the baby looked like. She did a sonogram and the baby was moving around like crazy. It had its knees touching, so it was hard to look for the "parts" from the front, so she went underneath to see what she could find. Every time she went to freeze the picture, the baby would move!! It was doing kicks and punches. I think it was practicing karate!! :) It was so cool!! I couldn't believe how much it was moving!! SO, back to the gender. She finally got a picture and predicted that it is a.........................................................GIRL!!!!!!!!!! :)
Now, this is just a guess, but she said she did not see any boy parts and was pretty convinced it is a girl! My next appointment is May 6th and I also have my actual sonogram that day to determine the sex! Hopefully the baby cooperates and we can find out for sure if it is a girl!
