6 More Days

We have six more days until our ultrasound.  Something that seemed like it would never get here is almost here!  I remember thinking January 19th wouldn't get here for our very first appointment and look......it's already over two months later.

Things have been great.  This baby is definitely going to be a traveler.  We have made numerous trips to Salina and several trips to Oklahoma.  Seems like we go, go, go so no wonder I'm extra exhausted.  I have much more movement and even got Doodlebug to play with me today a little.  I'd push on him/her and he/she would push back.  I am most definitely looking forward to more of that.  I'm still bouncing between a weight gain of 3-5 pounds depending on the day.  Not too shabby for almost 20 weeks and my first (only?) pregnancy!  I was afraid I'd be one of those that just ballooned up their first time because they ate what they wanted when they wanted with no control.  Slight heartburn has been a pain in the butt.  I just don't eat the right stuff though.  It's nothing like my heartburn I experienced before pregnancy so I'll gladly take it.

I have belly pics but I'm scared to post one.  I don't think I should be this big but I can't suck it in anymore and with little weight gain I shouldn't worry but geesh!  I was a little bigger to begin with but thankfully I've kept my weight gain at bay.  I know the next 20 weeks will be a different story but I have a set amount I'm allowed to gain and I've got to try my hardest to stick to it.

Um.....5 more days now.  I had to take a break on the blog.  Yesterday I could tell I was getting sick with a stuffy nose/sore throat but last night I ended up with body aches and a worse sore throat.  The night was horrible and I woke up with a fever.  I cancelled my physical therapy but forged ahead with getting ready for work.  I even got my pants ironed and ready to put on and I just had no more energy to give.  I decided not to share my sickness and stayed home.  I slept in bed until 12:15 then came in and sat in front of the TV for the afternoon and slept off and on.  This afternoon I still had a slight temperature and feel like it's coming back now but I do feel better.  Not great, but better.  My hubby was a trooper when he got home this afternoon and ran and got me some medicine and food.

So, that's all for now.  Ready to feel better and get to Monday!!!!!!
