25 Weeks!

Best moment this week? My appointment yesterday and Dr. McCollum telling me that our baby girl was very active and that she kept kicking her! When she finally found the heart rate it was about 162. I loved my entire appointment yesterday actually. I was measured for the first time and Dr. McCollum said that I was measuring perfectly. We did the antibody screening yesterday to make sure that I'm still Rh Negative...that way I can have my shot in a few weeks. I've been coughing like crazy so I took my huge tervis of water in with me, and they were thrilled that I was drinking because they know me and my veins. Of course I still ended up having blood drawn from the hand. I also got my ORANGE glucose drink. I have that test in 2 weeks. I'm hoping the orange won't be bad to me since I've craved orange flavored things this pregnancy. Actually, getting the drink made me crave an orange Fanta. So I treated myself today and stopped by Sonic after school.


Miss anything? Not right now. I'm feeling great!

Movement? All the time. I've been sick and coughing so much lately that I've been worried about not feeling her very much the past few days. Ever since my appointment I feel like I've felt her nonstop. I'm thankful for that.

Sleep? I've had to basically sleep sitting up the last few nights because of bronchitis...not pregnancy though.

Cravings? Orange juice and key lime pie frozen yogurt. I've just been wanting cold things to soothe my throat.

Sickness? I hadn't been feeling great since Monday but thought it was just allergies. Then I thought maybe a sinus infection. Well, I felt really bad before my appointment yesterday, when Dr. McCollum came in I said, "Diagnose me!" She went and got her stethoscope and felt like whatever I had was turning into Bronchitis. So, last night I took the first medicine (I haven't even had one tylenol) that I've taken this entire pregnancy. I was nervous, but I don't want to get worse, and my Dr. is amazing and obviously knows what she's doing. I feel a lot better today too other than being so sore from coughing my head off!

Other symptoms? I feel like I never have any typical pregnancy symptoms. However, I'm sure they're coming! I guess not liking Mexican food at ALL is a symptom. Yuck. I can hardly type those words!

Gender? GIRL!!

Looking forward to? Working in her nursery a little more this weekend and just lots of exciting things going on in March!!! March and April are the busiest months ever for us!
