Baby #3 - 16 weeks

Written 4.28.2014

Due Date: October 12, 2014. Realized rather recently that I like 10-12-14. Such a neat & tidy date. haha. My plan is 10-19. Anything prior to that date I will consider a bonus.

Symptoms: Noticed I have been having to pee a lot more in the last couple of weeks. Other than that, feeling pretty good. Heartburn hasn't even been too bad lately.

What's different this time: Just started to really tell people/don't care if the word is out there anymore. Yet not sure if/when we'll do the whole Facebook announcement.  Sent some texts to good friends who I haven't seen lately and that's about it.  Also another change for OB visits, they don't require a urine sample every time! This is nice. Apparently there are better ways to determine whatever they are determining with that so they only collect if they think it's necessary. Maybe that will change the further along we get?

Cravings/Aversions: Chips.
Sleep: Having a few more random mid night wake ups, especially around 3:30-4am. Able to stay up a little later and waking up on my own in the mornings not completely drained before I even start. Yay for 2nd trimester! Still take a rest or nap every day possible just because I can.

I miss: All is fabulous in the 2nd trimester.

I am looking forward to:  The ultrasound is on the books for end of May!

Best moment this week: 2nd OB appt last week and hearing the heartbeat again. 145 - so it's getting lower. The boys were always 130s.

I'm stressing about: Money. Namely, the fact that my job will maybe cover daycare most weeks. Yay?

Milestones: I think I maybe felt some little flutters the other night when bumming on the couch. But then the next night I had ice cream and didn't feel anything shortly after so I have no idea.

Movement: See above. Maybe? Maybe not? Undecided at this time.

It's a...: No idea. If I had to guess right now, I'd say boy. There have been lots of pregnancy announcements coming out in the last few weeks, we know lots of people due between September-November. I will probably feel little bits of jealousy as some of these people find out what they're having but that's ok. It's nothing like the jealousy I will feel when people who are due after me have their babies first. Hahaha.
