Today I had my 3rd checkup with Dr. Hall. It was a pretty quick one, too. This one was a much better experience than the last one. The nurse called me back, took my blood pressure and weight, she measured my stomach and checked for the baby's heartbeat. Not to worry-I heard the heartbeat right away and according to the nurse, the heartbeat is normal. More good news-when the nurse weighed me she said that I haven't gained any weight! WAHOO!!! I might as well enjoy it while I can cuz in I know in the next couple of months I'm going to balloon out and become this waddling blimp!
After all that, Dr. Hall comes in to make sure things are ok and let's me know that I am 15 weeks and 6 days....huh?? All this time I've been about a week and a half off! I thought that I was in the middle of my fourth month when in reality I'm only at the beginning! NO!! I was so disappointed. Oh well, what's another week? My due date is still March 12th. I have another appointment in about 4 weeks and we'll be able to find out whether we're having a boy or girl! I can't wait!! I'm getting so excited! And I can't believe that on my next appointment-I'll be halfway done with my pregnancy!
Unfortunatley, morning sickness still comes and goes. Shouldn't I be getting over it by now? I really hope that I'm not going to be sick for the rest of the 5 months I have left. Also, this whole having to get up in the middle of the night to go pee thing...getting annoying! I'm not sleeping very good as it is and when I do finally get to sleep I have this sudden urge to go to the bathroom!! I guess it's a small price to pay.
Cravings:
*Fruit is still number one-nectarines, watermelon, pears, peaches, strawberries.....
*Cornbread
*Pastas-Spaghetti, breads, pizza....
*Sweets-SourPatch Kids, Jolley Ranchers, Smarties, LemonHeads (basically anything tart)

I can't wait to find out what you are having either. I'm guessing a boy... ;)
Holy cow, I don't know about you but it seems like your pregnancy is flying by! I guess it's easy for me to say :) I'm glad you had a better experience this time at the doctor. Keep going you're almost half way!
That whole weight thing is such a mind bend. Quit worrying about it. Funny quick story. On one of my visits when I was pregnant with Nicki, the nurse told me I had gained 20 pounds. I cried all the way home. But at the next appt, I had lost 16 lbs. Come to find out, the numb nurse had misread the scales when she said I had gained 20 lbs. It made for a miserable few days when I thought I was gaining 20 lbs a month and still had several months to go!!!
Glas things are still going well. I can't wait to find out what you are having, yea!
Wow I can't believe you are so close to finding out what you are having!!!! I think you are hmmmmm.... having a girl!!!
So excited that things are going well. Nice job on not gaining weight. I am still trying to lose. It sucks big time man, but well worth it. I can't wait to hear what you are having. And I had the biggest cravings for sour patch kids too. Anything sour I was after for sure.
