16 weeks now

I really had good intentions of posting several times during the last couple of weeks, but I keep forgetting, or I will sit down to post and then something happens and I get sidetracked.
I can't even tell you what I was going to post. I have a terrible memory when I am pregnant. It can be rather embarrassing.
There is really nothing new going on. Still barely feel the baby moving. I can mostly feel he/she when I lay down in bed at night. Just like my other 3. they were all night owls. And they were all born late too (10:46pm, 10:14pm, 3am). So I am assuming I have another night baby on my hands.
I took my first belly pic today. I only have 1 mirror in my house that is low enough for me to take a pic in and of course the way I rearranged my bedroom, it is VERY close to my bed now, so I have to squeeze in to take a pic lol
but here it is. 16.2 weeks.
excuse my oversized pajamas. Its what I like to hang around in when I am home. they are SO comfy!

First Appt and 14 Weeks!!

I had my first appt with my midwife on Monday. Everything went well. Weight gain of 14.4 pounds. blood pressure 100/68. The baby was hiding for a few minutes but finally got a heartbeat of 165. Can't even use the old wives tale with this one. My other 3 kids were always in the 150-160s the whole time. I told my mw that I was really feeling the baby a lot. Big powerful kicks and just general moving. She asked me if I wanted an u/s just to check dates. I was 90% sure I knew my dates were correct, but I really wanted a peace of mind. So I got an u/s the following day. my dates were correct. Still on schedule for being due Oct. 8th. He/She's head and legs were measuring almost a week ahead, but I guess with all the other measurements put into consideration my due date came back as the same. My kids always have a big head and long legs, so I guess this one is following suit.
My next appt is May 6th.

Today I am 14 weeks. WOW! I can't believe it. I think I pretty much say that every week. Still nauseous, definitely not as much. still VERY tired. I NEED a nap every day or I can barely function. Needless to say I have been a walking zombie for about a week now. blah!

13 weeks

On to my 2nd trimester. Oh wait. does it start this week? Or when I hit 12 weeks? who knows. All I know is my nausea and fatigue is not letting up. what crap is that! isnt it suppose to have let up by now?
a couple days ago I was thinking that my blood pressure was wacky cause I was having terrible headaches all day long, next to exhausted (more than usual), nauseated BAD, vision was not the greatest, but its doing something weird lately anyway. But I had also pulled something in my lower back and that is when I noticed everything. Now that the pain is letting up, its getting better.
another thing is now I am doubtful that I felt kicks the other day. I haven't felt anything since I wrote that. maybe it was a fluke ::sigh::
I was 13 weeks along during my last pregnancy when I started feeling flutters, then at 14 weeks it was undeniable.
My appt is coming up on Monday, I will update after she leaves :)
