Doctor doesn't think its twins -- WHEW!

Well, I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he only heard one heartbeat, not two! It took him a while to find the heartbeat, which, of course, scared me a little, but he found it and it sounded just like it was supposed to, he said.

We will be going for an ultrasound soon! Brian thinks I'll cave in the ultrasound and want to find out if it is a boy or a girl, but I have never wanted to know -- I think that is all part of the whole experience. I have never believed in finding out what you are having, but that's just me. So we aren't going to find out! I started feeling the baby moving around in there, but it is only usually when Peanut is near my kidneys or is pushing on something that pushes on my kidneys. I feel great.

The pleurisy still acts up every once in a while, but I know not to overdo it now. The doctor said I can head back to the gym, but only for light weights and walking, no running or eliptical trainer for me. I have been trying to get out and walk every few days at least, and that feels good. Right now I have been trying to go to the mall and walk -- don't worry, family that knows me, I haven't spent any extra money, other than the few gifts we needed to get people for Christmas -- and I love walking in the mall, there is always something to look at, and I can people watch too, which I love.

Anyway, that's about all from mommy-to-be land!

Mommy at almost 16 weeks

It is time for another picture!

Well, I'm HUGE! I think my size warrants a picture for this site! Brian and I went on a date night last night and I couldn't find anything to wear. Nothing! I put on my favourite pair of casual track-type khakis and I couldn't do them up. I don't mind my shirts being a little tighter in the baby region, but my pants are becoming an issue! I have one suit that fits, and I can't do the jacket up, the pants fit because they are a low rise, but they are only going to fit for maybe another month. Also, a new thing that really is getting tight -- my winter jackets. It was -21 today, so it isn't really optional. Maybe Santa will be getting me a maternity winter jacket.
Tomorrow is Brian's staff party so I will have Brian take a picture just before we go so you can see how big and cute I am LOL.

Peanut,

You are GROWING! Most websites say you are about 5 inches long! If we got an ultrasound done we would be able to tell if you are a boy or a girl, but we don't want to know! We want it to be a surprise when we meet you! I don't know if I have felt you kick yet, I think I have, but I'm not sure. But I definitly feel that you are in there and I love to be able to just know that you are in there! Daddy loves to talk to you! He likes to put his head on my tummy and talk to you. We love you!
