Our baby gave me my Christmas wish :) He/She really really did! Christmas was perfect! ♥ THANK YOU Baby Carpenter!
I had another baby checkup a couple days ago, and everything is normal. My blood pressure is normal, and I got to hear our baby's heartbeat again. Strong healthy heartbeat ♥ The nurse said I gained 4 pounds, but I really didn't. Before I got pregnant I was around 125. When I got pregnant, and started feeling nauseous, I dropped to 120. A couple Dr. appointments ago, she weighed me at 118, so I lost even more weight. Finally, when I was weighed a couple days ago, she said I weighed 122, so she said I gained 4 pounds. It's a good sign that I'm getting some weight back, but in my mind I haven't GAINED any weight yet at all. Once I start getting past my regular weight of 125 will I start to feel like I'm really gaining weight. Since the beginning of my pregnancy I haven't gained an ounce! I only lost weight... but it finally looks like I might be gaining it back.
Since Christmas I have went back to feeling nauseous. I have given up thinking that I will just one day feel fine from now on. This fatigue and sickness is just so random and unpredictable. I am 15 weeks pregnant, and I can just as easily throw up now as I did when I was 6 weeks pregnant :( Still, I'm thankful for the welcome relief of the days I feel good :)
On January 23 we will be finding out the sex of our baby!!!
Here's a 15 weeks belly pic!
I feel like I'm finally starting to get a bit of a belly :)
Here is a video of baby's progress!
I got some additional good news! I got a 4.0 GPA for the semester, and I got my Phi Theta Kappa certificate and pin in the mail! I can't wait to see what scholarship opportunities are available to me this year! I'm so excited, and ready for next semester to start!!!!
I love reading your blog! Glad you're not feeling sick anymore and also glad that you're gaining that weight to keep that baby nice and healthy =]. Congrats on your academic achievement as well, I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome that you felt great for Christmas, but that is too bad the nausea is back again. :( I sure sympathize! :( Can't wait till you find out the gender!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a preference?
Thanks Kamini! Rachel, I really would like a girl, and Aaron wants a boy. My family wants a girl, and Aaron's family wants a boy. We will just have to wait and see what God wants :)
ReplyDeleteThe family is split down the middle for the preferences, LOL! Although since you're the one carrying the baby I feel your preference is more important, ha ha! I also preferred a girl first, and was so blessed to get our Lillian. :)
