Pregnancy Weeks 14 - 16

In the last two weeks, I have felt the Nugget kick twice. The first time I bent over while sitting and I felt a little jolt inside. A number of days after that I felt that little feeling pregnant woman feel when something kicks your bladder. It felt like the little Nugget did a back flip on my bladder. I know there are many more kicks to come but it was exciting to feel those first little kicks so early. It reminded me that there really is something in there. I have read that this time is hard for many women becuase you really have no day to day proof there is something living inside you until those little kicks start...other than the fact that my belly is getting bigger and the scales are moving (which has happened many times in life without another person living inside me. :)).

Life is definitely getting a little easier with less nausea and more energy. I had a tough day last Wednesday. I had to call Don to get him to come home from work. Thankfully it was getting close to quitting time and his job allows him to work from home so he finished up from here. I feel very blessed that we are in this situation. This morning I had a moment of light headedness and nausea but it was soon to go away after having breakfast. I was even able to do quite a bit of house cleaning today which hasn't happened in a while...I have cleaned but not very much at a time.

I keep wondering what the gender of this baby is. For some reason I keep thinking it is a girl but I think that is because that is what we have now. I would love to have a boy to experience both genders but will be happy with whatever the outcome. Overall, I just ask for a healthy baby. I really hope we find out tomorrow. I am 16 weeks as of today. However, we may have to wait until we are 20 weeks.

I know we still have a long way to go but I am ready to experience this little one. I wonder what Makena and the new baby will have in common and what will be different. Only time will tell.

I need to take a picture of my growing belly. I haven't taken any pics yet. Sorry little one. It doesn't mean you aren't important but Mommy just forgets.

Love both my babies and my wonderful husband for sticking close and helping through these last few weeks.
