Week 16

Week 16

Nausea is subsiding, but even though it's better-Let me be clear, It's STILL there! I've been taking a multivitmin gummy with 400 miligrams of Folic Acid. It makes me sick, but just a few hours after I take it. If I were to take a real prenatal, It would make me sick the entire day..and honestly I don't know if I could keep it down anyways. So gummy it is!

I'm more sick at night, which is weird. I only know one other person who said they were sick at night. Maybe its just because I take my gummy at night, but even still I feel it coming a a few hours after work!  Maybe I should try taking it in the morning? .....I don't know though. Id rather not risk being sick at work.

Ive been able to eat more healthy and work out again. I think that's helped slow down my weight gain. I'm not too concerned about weight, just trying to be healthy. I don't want to gain it too much, or too little, so Im cautious.

Ive def got pregnancy brain. Even as I type here, I'm a little absent minded. Very forgetful these days! Ive lost my work badge twice already.. and its expensive to replace. Dang it! I hear DHA helps with brain development. Ill probably go to the health food store and get some.

I have been more productive. Been able to FINALLY clean my house with out feeling extremely exhausted and giving up. I was able to dejunk, and get rid of ton of stuff.  Ive only got a small portion left in the office closet before I can start really stocking up on baby stuff.

We will most likely be finding out the gender this coming Thursday which will put me at 17 weeks exactly. You can do a gender reveal as early as 16 weeks at ASPENS WOMENS CENTER. They will do it for 35 dollars (Most doctors wont until week 20) so we are SUPER EXCITED.

I'm pretty sure Ive experience some round ligament pain on my sides. They feel a little crampy at night, but I don't get too worried because I know it's just my body preparing for the baby to grow!

Ive already bought one pair of maternity jeans. I probably won't buy anymore until I get bigger. Though it's getting pretty uncomfortable to squeeze into to anything. I think I might try and get some leggings.

I go to Payson on Monday. I think they will do all that scary testing and screening for birth defects and so forth, that makes me SUPER nervous! I just pray we have a healthy and happy Baby. To calm myself down, I remind myself that I am pretty young. Most things like that happen as a women nears her 40s and up.

Well, that's it for now!
