Week 15

Well, as it always seems to be, I spoke too soon.  That's right.....still getting sick.  Three times this week!  YUCK!  I really thought that it was behind me, but it looks like the body is still adjusting to the new hormones.  Or, I jinxed myself because in my post I said I was feeling better.  I looked back on both Megan and Jessica's blog and I said the same things...."starting to feel better", "no morning sickness...", then the next week.....sick again.  So, this week I'll just say that yup, I've been sick...and yup...I expect to again.

I forgot to mention a few things in my first post that I wanted to go ahead and write down.  Thought it would be interesting tidbits to look back on and chuckle.  First was that I couldn't stand the smell of frozen chicken nuggets.  I remember David making them for the girls one night (might have even been a date night for us!), and I had to go upstairs because I couldn't stand it.  I also don't seem to like popcorn.  It was one of my favorite snacks.  I used to pop a bag and eat the whole thing while I watched some TV.  Not anymore.  I popped a bag once and threw it away.  It makes me sad....I really loved my popcorn!  I also had to have David take me out for hibachi one night because I was dying for fried rice.  It was SO good!  I actually hope that I don't "crave" things, because it was kind of a weird feeling.  I just HAD to have it.  I might have preferred some foods throughout my other pregnancies, but not graved them like I did the fried rice and hibachi.  If I think of other things, I'll post them, but these are the big ones that I remember.  :)

I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and all went well.  The baby has a heartbeat of 154bpm - which is pretty much around where my other two kiddos were.  I told the doctor about my headaches, and he gave me a medication to try.  I have had to take it twice this week.  The first time I'm pretty sure most of the medication came up with my breakfast, but after a long nap it seemed to pass.  The second time later in the week was more successful and the headached didn't last for long.  Our next appointment is the level two ultrasound where we are looking forward to finding out the sex of the baby so we can start arguing...I mean discussing.....names.  :)  I liked having Jessica named before she arrived.  I really think it helped me with the bonding process.

That's about it for this week.  Love everyone!
