24.5 Weeks Pregnant

I've been so bad about updating my blog. Things have been seriously busy. I've been taking and teaching a class, working on my research and battling constant irritating illnesses from sinus infections to UTI's to migraines. My kid is sucking the life out of me! F has been taking a class too, he keeps getting stuck with deadbeat group members who don't do any work on their group projects and he doesn't have the balls to let the professor know. I guess he doesn't want to get confrontational! I hate tattle tails, but I also hate people that leach off of others work and get away with it.

Baby seems to be doing fine! We're getting really excited as the months tick away. I have my 25 week midwife apt. this week, I know she's going to harp on my weight, I've gained 6 lbs in the last month, for a grand total of 14 whopping lbs. Geesh. Baby kicks all day and F can really feel them now too. I've been eating like crazy feeling faint after 2-3 hours without food. I keep walking and taking my swim class, so hopefully the baby just had a growth spurt in utero! lol

The semester is almost over and I can go back to working on my research fulltime until the bambino makes his/her appearance this summer.

22 Weeks

Sorry I haven't uploaded in awhile. I've been sick with sinus stuff and busy with work and just plain worn out. I feel exhausted and overwhelmed and I have 4 more months to go.

We had our 21 week anatomy scan, but we didn't find out the sex. I'm proud that we didn't cave and find out. All of the organs and structures looked great. Baby weighed in just below a pound and had a hb of 160 bpm! Some of our friends have been guessing what we're having. I think it's a girl, F thinks it's a boy, our friends have various other guesses. We'll just have to wait and see. F was talking to my belly this morning and we got 3 huge kicks! He must have a very vibrating voice! lol.

Almost up to 10 lbs now! yikes, but I ate pizza and cookies for dinner last night. I'll have to stop doing that unless I want to look like a hippo. I've been doing a swim class 2-3 nights a week and trying to walk with Grace whenever we get chances to. We've both been so busy. I hope all is well with everyone else!
