I've been feeling flutters since about 15 weeks, but it wasn't till almost 18 that I'd say I could feel full-fledged kicks... awake times are at night (typical baby!) and also during church I felt quite a bit of movement yesterday, looks like I have a third involuntary dancer on my hands. Yay!
I'm 19 weeks now, and feeling quite neglectful of this poor blog... I'm wondering if I'll even hit 25 entries this time... that's my goal with each pregnancy.
Mother's day.... sure feels special when you are pregnant... I had my little mothers' day gift with me all day long. God is so good to us!
My Nausea has totally calmed, except when I have a bad taste in my mouth (like after I eat cereal and before I brush my teeth) or when I'm very hungry. It was kind of a kick in the pants that my worst two weeks of nausea were weeks 14 and 15.... right when everything was supposed to be clearing up! We made it through, however, and I'm proud to announce (so far) my second vomit-free pregnancy!! I know I'll more than account for that during the delivery, but for now I get to relax and enjoy the ride.
I'm tired all the time, but I'm sure that comes from having two other active little ones, and too much to do. My schedule has calmed now without papers (BIG sigh of relief) but I've taken on more tutoring, and I'm hoping to also do some writing for a friend.
The most exciting thing this week is that my ultrasound is THIS MORNING!!! I've double and triple checked the time, and I'm gearing up to drink about half the water they recommend (there's no way I can drink a litre of water, it's nearly impossible even when I'm not pregnant!) and go find out the sex of my baby! Well, I might not find out this morning, but my sweet doctor has given me his cell number so I can text him and ask near the end of the day.... oh how will I wait until 4pm? He did say that often the techs have been giving parents hints, and he's had quite a few show up already knowing.... here's hoping I get one of those techs! The one in Ontario just told us outright, but I understand why they're a little more cagey here.
Micah and Rosie are as transfixed as ever by all the babies at church, and Micah's playing with dolls enthusiastically, tucking them in and rocking them and giving them bottles. Not to the exclusion of much else, or for any prolonged periods of time (he is a boy), but he does love them. I think we have two great big siblings gearing up! And with their best friends about to officially have their little sister home, Rosie and Micah will have some great examples, and maybe even a little practice.
This little family is thrilled!!
