Huston we have movement.
Finally. Last night I think I felt movement for the second time. And I didn't get all strung out on caffiene first! I was laying in bed and I just sort of felt little wiggly type feelings. It was really exciting! and then of course Andy got into bed and he was bouncing the mattress and every time he moved the whole bed shook so I couldn't feel anything anymore. I tried to tell him to lay silently in one position, but by then I couldn't feel it anymore. Hopefully I feel it again tonight. Or today during the day!

A little survey of my pregnancy so far!
How far along? 17 weeks yesterday
Total weight gain/loss: Loss of about 16 pounds
Maternity clothes? I bought some pants, but I'm not really wearing them.
Stretch marks? Nothing from the pregnancy yet.
Sleep: jeez. I sleep about 10-11 hours a night and still need a nap sometimes.
Best moment this week: not pregnancy related, relaxing in bed with Andy.
Movement: Once a week or so ago after a TON of caffeine.
Food cravings: Changes day to day. Mostly light things, nothing too heavy except pizza.
Gender: TBD
Labor Signs: None yet. And let's keep it that way!
Belly Button in or out? still in.
What I miss: being able to eat a whole bunch in one sitting without throwing it all up.
What I am looking forward to: The big U/S on March 29th
Weekly Wisdom: Eat small bites.
Milestones: Nothing big this week. Baby is working on hearing and yawning a lot this week.

WELLLL, It has been a really long time
A lot has happened. Today I'm 16 weeks 3 days pregnant.
My first appointment was memorable. The phlebotomist (blood lady) was a fill-in for the regular one and she was kinda stupid. I had to have several vials drawn for testing and I told her I usually get pretty light headed when I have blood taken and she should recline the chair before she starts. Well, she didn't. So after all the vials had been taken I felt really sick and puked all over the floor of the little lab room. It was funny and embarassing. Then we met with the CNP who was an absolute bitch. I hated her. But she's not the doctor and I really won't have to see her at any other time, so I'm not worried about it. Then, we had an ultrasound to date the pregnancy and we were EXACTLY where we thought we were. 9 Week 6 Days. Baby's first heartbeat reading was 168 BPM. Andy was able to be there and it was a simply magical day.
My second appointment was pretty ho-hum. I went in and she asked if I had any questions I didn't really so she used a dopplar to find baby's hearbeat and it was at 150 BPM. Super healthy. We scheduled our big anatomy ultrasound for March 29. YAY!
I've lost about 16 pounds to date and my doctor is thrilled. I haven't felt much movement yet. A couple of days ago I think I felt somersaults that felt like rubbing against the inside of my uterus. I did have a lot of caffiene that evening so I think that made the burger hyper!! I don't like having that much caffiene so I haven't tried to make it happen again. I figure once he's big and strong enough I'll start feeling him.
We've decided that if the burger is a boy (Which mother's intuition is telling me it is) we'll name him Rex Arthur and if it's a girl she'll be Olivia Paige. We're so excited for the end of March.
I stopped working this week, so hopefully I'll find more time to update this little blog more often!!
