SO TIRED!

I miss having energy. As soon as I wake up I want to go back to sleep. Doing anything exhausts me. I need to take frequent breaks it seems. Thank goodness I work at home....I don't think I'd make it at a regular school! *yawn, is it naptime yet?

16 1/2 week photos

I took these today. I'm 16 1/2 weeks. Getting bigger! :)

First purchase for the baby!

We made our first purchase for the baby this weekend. We bought paint for the nursery. It was very exciting to start preparations for the nursery, even if we haven't painted yet! We chose a light mossy green color which will coordinate with the bedding that we like for both genders.
I have been holding off on buying other things until we find out the sex. But I'm sure once we find out the sex I won't be able to stop myself from running out and buying a little outfit! So exciting! I'm sure it will be here before we know it, but I still can't help but feel impatient. ;-)

16 week checkup

We had our 16 week check up today. It was a quick visit (minus the hour we spent in the waiting room!!). The doctor used the dopplar and we heard the heartbeat again! It was very loud this time! It made me so happy to hear it. :-) The heart rate was around 150, so the doctor said everything looks good.
I have gained 9 pounds so far. The doctor said she recommends her patients only gain 20 pounds and that made me feel bad since I have already gained 9 so far. But everything I have ever heard or read says pregnant women should gain 20 - 30 depending on their pre-pregnancy weight. I started as average weight, so I think that as long as I gain only 25 to 30 pounds, I should be okay.
Someone should tell the doctor it's not OK to make a pregnant woman feel bad about how much weight she has gained! :-/

14 week belly

I took this picture last night. I am 14 weeks. :-)

excited and ready to plan...

I have been shopping around online and I have decided on bedding and theme for both a boy and a girl. We are definitely painting the nursery green and both bedding sets will go well with the green walls. I'm going to put up a couple of posts for you to see. :)
