Father's Day started off like any other day, except that I had not been feeling well for the last week or so. Just being funny, I thought I would take a pregnancy test and guess what? It was positive!! I was so excited and nervous I showed B the test right away. We were in complete shock!
Thankfully now, the shock has almost completely worn off with the bloating and nausea and has been replaced with pure joy and excitement! We are currently now 18 weeks along and I feel great! I just wear out easily and love naps!
We have already had a few appointments with the Midwifery group at UIHC and have had two ultrasounds that all looked fine and we passed our initial genetic screenings with flying colors. I am doing great! I have not gained that much weight yet and the midwives want me to start packing on a pound a week. Whew! It is a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. Actually, I think I am struggling with that assignment because I feel like all I do is eat and I just haven't gained more than a few pounds through the whole pregnancy. We have our next appointment at the beginning of October, so I guess we'll see how I do...
My belly bump is just starting to show, but it's enough that my jeans feel too tight when I sit down. So...I either just unbutton them or wear stretchy pants. My mom took me to get some maternity jeans this last weekend and talk about depressing. There are absolutely no cute 20-something maternity clothes in the IC area. I don't understand this, but it's true. So we walked away with one pair of pants and the plan to just order online as I need clothes.
