Over the Hill!

Half way there!!! Yesterday we had our mid-pregnancy doctor appointment which lasted a lot longer because the baby was not cooperating! The ultrasound tech could not determine the sex of the baby because it was curled up. She had me go pee and thought that would get the baby moving; it didn't! She said she would try again after my appointment with the doctor because there were still some pictures of the baby that she needed to make sure everything was fine but she couldn't get because of the baby being all curled up. Well the third time is a charm! The baby had woke up and started moving more (maybe because the coke and apple juice I drank finally kicked in!). IT'S A GIRL. We have a name picked out..Kiley Nicole. We do have a back up name for a boy, Luke Wesley. The ultrasound showed that so far everything was fine with the baby. Next time I will have to have another ultrasound because the tech couldn't see the heart or the spine. The heart beat was 142 bmp. As of today, Heather is 20 weeks and has gained 11 pounds. Jeremy is holding steady!

Getting Bigger

I am getting bigger, and the picture proves it! I feel huge looking at it. Despite that I am still getting sick, I am gaining weight. I am up to 10 pounds. I will be 19 weeks on July 22nd. My belly still doesn't show much through my clothes, but I do know my clothes are fitting tighter and there are some I can't wear anymore! Becky gave me great tip about using a rubber band around the button through the hole and back on the button to extend my pants. Works very well! The worst part of the day for me is eating. Food still does not sound too appetizing to me. Jeremy made me lunch the other day and by the time he was done making it, I no longer wanted it. I felt terrible. Jeremy has been wonderful in helping me out, trying to make me as comfortable as possible. I try hard not to be one of those crazy pregnant women demanding things and having mood swings. Jeremy says I don't do that but he my just be trying to be nice. He is wonderful to me.

Peanut is not a Peanut Anymore!

Everything went well our last appointment which was yesterday, Monday June 30th. Heather is 16 weeks today. She has gained about 7 pounds and still gets sick occasionally but it is getting better. At our appointment, our doctor tried to sneak a peak at the sex of baby Bracewell, but our baby was not moving much and our doctor couldn't get a good look. She thinks it might be a girl because she didn't see anything protruding but she said not to buy anything pink yet because she is really not sure. Hopefully next time we will get a confirmation on the sex.
