20 weeks

I got so busy the last week and I did not get to talk about my wonderful 20th week. I am feeling Corbin more and more. I am thinking next week he will kick harder so Daddy might be able to feel it. I have been having the lovely frequent urination and I love Dairy! Milk shakes and potatoes are my things! I am so excited to get started on the room in the next couple of weeks We are getting super excited for our new addition.

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Dear Corbin,

I love you. I loved you the moment I found out you were inside of me growing. I have so many hopes and dreams for you. On a side note, could you stop kicking me really hard when I sit up? Mommy would appreciate that. Your sisters are so excited and your father cannot stop touching my growing belly. We cannot wait for you to be here. You are probably the most wanted baby ever to be conceived. I hope you bear with us because I have no idea how to raise a son. Up to this point I have only had girls. Hopefully things just fall into place. I cannot wait to see who you look like more. I hope you look like daddy. I hope you have his smile and scene of humor. We have a whole life together and I cannot wait for it to start

18 weeks and yeah I am still tired all the time.

Being tired never ends. I am trying so hard to eat right and take my vitamins. Resting helps but it is very short lived. Then I am back to feeling like I could fall over with exhaustion. Working is a challenge but I know it is very necessary! I just have to keep doing what I am doing hopefully soon the tiredness ends.

As for my baby, well he is about the size of a sweet potato. Mmmmm. Makes me hungry. Might have to making something sweet potato this week.  Well I will update when I am 19 weeks.

17 weeks doctors appointment.

Everything went well. I am now off high risk status! i will see the doctor every month like normal til it goes to every other week. The heartbeat was fine and I am doing great. Still on zofran and unisom for nausea probably be on that til I am 20 weeks at least who knows maybe longer. But atleast I have it under control. No mention of another ultrasound and to tell you the truth I would rather not because I know everything is ok and it cost money. My insurance is not 100%. We will see.

The urination starts back up! 16 weeks 5 days

Back and forth to the bathroom. I should seriously just stay in there til the baby is born. That way I will not have to get up every two minutes and go. I forgot how fun being pregnant is. I guess I should embrace it this is my last baby. So frequent urination I heart you!
