Another visit to Dr. Smith.

I had my 15 week appointment today. Found out I am a bit anemic and will possibly be put on extra iron. I really hope this isn't going to be necessary, especially because he said it tends to make people nauseous. Being nauseous is the last thing I need! I am just now getting over my sickness! I think that's probably the main reason for my lack of iron. I have been so sick that I haven't taken my vitamins, but I am doing much better now. ( :

We listened to Sweet Pea's heart beat again but it was even neater this time because we could hear the baby kicking. Dr. Smith says that the baby is probably going to be pretty active and it won't be too long before I can actually feel the kicking. I get overly excited about everything and I can't wait until it really hits Chad.

For the last few days I have been starving! I want to eat pretty much all day. I am just so happy to have my appetite back, so I am really taking advantage of it. I guess I better be careful. ( :

New Discoveries.

So apparently Mexican food is not a favorite of the baby. I have tried to eat it twice (in two days) and both times it made me feel absolutely horrible, and even caused some vomit. / :
Pizza, another love of mine, is something else that little Sweet Pea is not remotely interested in. Apparently our taste is not the same.

So a friend of mine, Lara (which recommended Dr. Smith) also told me about a place in Houston called Peek a Baby. Apparently with my Dr's permission I can go and find out the sex of the baby after 18 weeks, rather than waiting until 23 weeks. The only downfall is that it is $99. I would really love to know five weeks sooner. Chad is "willing" to wait, of course. It really just depends on the money situation when week 18 rolls around, I guess.

My next Dr's appointment is on the 29th. I am hoping it won't involve them stealing any of my blood or drinking any disgusting drinks. I suppose I will just have to wait and see.

I have been looking at cribs online and unfortunately all the ones I am drawn to are a bit expensive. Maybe Chad will go with me to look today. I am overly anxious. Can you tell?

Tomorrow marks week 14 and I am bursting at the seems at the thought of meeting our little Sweet Pea. ( :

just an update

Chad and I had our second dr's appt last week and everything went very well. We listened to the heart beat again, which was 160 beats per minute. Everything was just as it should be. ( :
However, I was a little bummed to find out that I will not be able to know the sex of the baby until 23 weeks! I will be nearly six months, so I still have quite a while to go. I really am horribly impatient and I would love nothing more than to know now, but I suppose all good things come to those who wait.

I have had several people say that I am starting to show. I am not really too sure about that. One thing I am sure about though... I am really looking forward to my second trimester. I have heard that the sickness really lets up and you get some energy back too. If that is the case, I can't wait! I can honestly say that I have not enjoyed this first trimester one little bit. I am sure little sweet pea is worth it, but it has still be very unpleasant.

If everything goes well there is a possibility of induction around December 13th. (( :
