17 weeks - little flutters?

I had an OB appointment this week and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. The doctor said that everything is looking normal. My next appointment is scheduled for the third week in July - that's when we'll have our anatomy scan ultrasound.

I've been feeling pretty good this week. I only threw up twice, which is a new record and that was on Monday and Tuesday so maybe I'm leaving those pregnancy symptoms behind me.

I had a big bowl of ice cream before bed on Tuesday night and I thought I felt some little flutters when I was drifting off to sleep. I've felt a few bumps and bubbles since then. When the doctor was listening to the heartbeat with her doppler she said that she could also hear the baby moving around a lot, but I couldn't feel it.

Hopefully I will start feeling more and more bumps and bubbles in the upcoming weeks.

16 weeks

Here I am 16 weeks pregnant and I still can't believe that I'm sitting here with a rounded belly protruding in front of my keyboard.

So far my pregnancy has been uneventful and smooth and I'm very grateful for that. I'm still experiencing nausea and some fatigue, but it's nowhere near where it was during my first trimester. It's nice to be off of the PIO shots. Now I know that it's really my body responding to the hormones of my pregnancy.

I'm wearing maternity bottoms, but still fit into some of my cotton tops. I've gradually begun to wear both a maternity tops and bottoms to work. I'm trying to adjust my wardrobe slowly, because I haven't announced to anyone (except HR) that I'm expecting.

You would think after all the years of trying I would have banner made and hung above my desk, but surprisingly enough it has been nice to just keep my news to myself. People will know soon enough once my belly really starts to pop out.

Nights are when I really feel pregnant. Sometimes I get up as many as three times to pee, and my breasts get really sensitive when I go to bed. I don't mind it. This feeling of really being pregnant is very comforting. I love it that my belly is starting to grow.

My next appointment is in a week. Just a regular OB check up. We have our anatomy scan scheduled for the 3rd week of July. (Grow baby grow!)

Thank you for your support and prayers. Sending prayers to you on your journey.
