Kicking and Screaming

Baby is just fine and obviously getting bigger since I can now feel kicking on the right side which I wasn't able to feel before. I swore I felt it with my hand the other night so James has been constantly rubbing le belly to try and feel something. The baby and I have conversations while its kicking and James often asks are you talking to me or your tummy. I scream at it when it won't calm down or let me get comfortable, its pretty funny.
I am still the vomit zombie which realllllllllly sucks and is getting old. I swear I'm not making up how often it is nor how aweful it is. So glad this is going by fast and won't ever be happening again!
Found an obgyn in Portland, so I'm getting ready for my big move back home. I'm excited yet nervous since I'll again be away from James but its what's best. A few more appointments here in Virginia, then I'm done with this terrible place!

There's an app for that....

Never did I realize how many pregnancy apps there were! And they all have contradicting information...it makes things very confusing. For example, the size of your baby. One week its an apple, the next week its a peach, then the week after that its an avocado? I've seen some peaches that get much larger then apples and since when is an avacado bigger then a peach...James and I are highly confused! Needless to say, I've kinda stopped using them since some are very graphic and just freak me out. At times I don't wanna know what's happening to my body... I already know its changing! But onto more exciting news.....

We had a 16 week ultrasound and saw the baby! You could count the little fingers and toes which was pretty cool. It kept making fishy faces and waving its little arms which was unreal...it also has a very cute little nose....I think it has mine :) You could fully see the spine and ribs which James thought was pretty cool and we saw how it was laying in there. We hadn't seen it since it was a little 8 week old gummy bear so seeing how much its grown in just 8 more week was insane! It's growing and healthy and all my labs came back normally. I have not gained any weight in all of this, since I'm still so sick, so they hope I put some weight on soon! Baby Buchanan is taking everything from me! It's officially Sunday so I'm 17 weeks and time is just flying by!

Under Pressure

16 weeks
It's starting to get uncomfortable and very crampy or tight I guess. Ob said its normal since baby is growing! Had my tummy measured at my last appointment and its official: I'm bumpin! I've felt the baby move since about 10 weeks but its getting stronger and more frequent. Poor James still can't feel it but I hope it happens before I head home here soon!
We went to Baby R Us and looked around and registered for a bunch of things since a lot of the family has been asking. It's was overwhelming and really nerve wracking....I think its all just becoming real! I think it'll all set in when we find out what it is at around 20-21 weeks.
And I'm just gonna say it now, since there is always someone that has something to say about everything and I'm getting tired of it:
Yes we know we can do it early we are choosing not to!
It gives us time to plan a gender reveal, and whatever else we want or need to do.....but don't worry you all will be informed what it is when its time!

I've got a party in my pants!....well uterus....

Baby is a mover! I've felt it for a while now but today it is happening a lot. If I could best describe it, it feels like popcorn kernels hitting the bag . Pop! Pop! Pop pop pop!
I think its funny that it starts moving the moment I try to get some sleep. It also gets really active when I listen to music which is pretty cool. In the beginning I couldn't really tell the difference between it moving and gas bubbles and was always saying "stay clear! Its gonna be a bad day down there!". Then nothing would happen. Hahaha!
I really hope James gets to feel it before I head home since I know that's a big deal for him and I don't want him to miss out on these kinds of things, but for now I just let him know "its moving" and he just smiles and rubs my belly :)
