17 weeks

17 weeks now – I had my 16 weeks appt (1 week late!) with my OB on Monday – my blood pressure is good, I am down 1kg on their scales though up 1.5 on my scales so really my weight is still stable.  She did a scan of the baby and she\he is now 10cm which is spot on apparently – she\he was moving around a lot – gave us a little wave – very cute but very active.  My son was very active as well and still is!!   My next appt is at 22 weeks.

I am feeling really good – still tired but hardly any Nausea at all – I am feeling lots of air bubbles at the moment (have been for a while) but no actual movement – I am sure that will happen over the next month.  Food is still an issue.....

I am preparing my son new bed room – my brother and sister have been over helping me paint (two tone blue) and assembly flat packs – he has the cutes Elmo bed, blue chest of draws and a red book case – I am planning on moving all his bits in there over the weekend and then move him in there as well – he will coming out of the cot into his bed!  His cot broke late last week so he can get himself in and out now – thinks he is pretty cool – he has been good though had to return him to bed a couple of times...no dramas..

All in all life is pretty good..

15 Weeks

Gee time is flying along and I have not updated for over 3 weeks. 

I am now 15 weeks – feeling good most days - I have the odd bad day but on the whole the nausea is very minimal.  I am still really tired most of the time and struggle to get out of bed in the morning for work!  I was sleep well until the last couple of nights but I think that is more work stress that baby sleep issues...

The food situation is about the same still can’t eat a lot of things and now finding that even things like onion, capsicum, olives etc.. I can’t handle so I am just sticking to basic vegetables and salads – it is not so bad it really more the junk food that is the real problem – which really I should not be eating anyway.

I had my scan at 12 weeks and all is very positive – the risks are low so it was recommended against an amniocentesis – I am happy with that...  The baby looked good in the ultrasound – has all it bits and is looking very healthy – my next scan is at 19 weeks (11^th March) – I am hoping to get some good photos next time – the 12 weeks one are not very clear – apparently she\he (I do think it is a she)  was sitting right back in the uterus – good for the ultrasound but not good for photos....   

All is good – I have started to buy some bits and pieces and I swapped some old furniture with my cousin for a box of newborn nappies and new infant clothes (she just had a baby but her daughter  was 10 pounds so did not last very long in newborn nappies and 0000!)
