Check out our Poll

So here's the deal. We have another ultrasound on Friday. This is the one we *might* find out the sex of our baby. So take your pick on the poll on the right. Don't be shy, VOTE!! If we do find out, we'll post it here.

Week 17

So now the baby is the size of a turnip, so says the books I read. I am now in my 17th week. It seems just yesterday Jordan and I looked at each other and said "I thought we were out of the 10th week, we are still in the 10th week?" Yes, and now we are less than a month away from half-way there!! We should be getting a new ultrasound very soon.

So the heat of Albuquerque is beginning. I have gotten many people telling me, "Oh, your gonna be very pregnant, in the heat of the summer. Hope you have a good air conditioner." That is slightly scary. It is still spring so the wind is still cool. There's always ice cream, root beer floats, cold watermelon, and many more things to cool me off.

The baby's ears are fully functioning now, and can hear my heartbeat and maybe my voice. Most of you know I enjoy singing, and I look forward to learning many lullaby's. I realized I didn't know any of those when while babysitting I really needed to distract the kid from his injury. Nothing came to mind. Mom's learn them somehow, so I know I will soon.

2nd Trimester/ Milestone

So, they tell me I am entering into my 2nd trimester. I have a little bit more energy, and my nausea is more manageable, but the headaches are really starting to get to me. Jordan is so sweet he has put up a thick sleeping bag over our window in the bedroom so the light won't get me. :) It is so nice to be able to nap in the middle of the day without the 360 days of sunshine here glaring at me. I guess we will have to do something more permanent and classy for when the baby comes. The sleeping bag is functional, but not so much on the pretty side. To keep the headaches at bay, I have been taking Tylenol, and a caffeinated soda. It seems to work most of the time, and sometimes just the soda kicks it. But sometimes I have to give in and take a, prescribed by my ob, migraine medicine. Not something I want to be taking all the time. So, overall I have them under control.

Indigestion has started as well, so the Tums are permanently affixed to my nightstand. I have only experienced it a few times and it has always been at night around 9:00pm. I have heard that it isn't really something I can change my diet to avoid. It is just hormones. Please tell me different if you know. Although I have not been eating anything different than before.
