How far along am I? 15 weeks (fourth month)
Pregnancy Highlights so far: Feeling the first "I definitely know it's baby" movement! Thats right, I can feel this sweet thing bumping and wiggling.
Weight gain? Still down 2 pounds from the beginning. I feel good, just not overly hungry…YET.
Cravings? SALT! I love me some salty foods right now. Sweets are good too, but I lean towards salty and spicy by far.
Gender: September 3, with the big reveal on September 5th (as long as little bean cooperates). I am STILL feeling BOY, however I am now about 80/20. The closer it gets to time, the more I don't know for sure. ONE WEEK…EEEEK!!!
Movement: Oh yes…not every second, but definitely everyday. Those sweet little bumps and thumps are such a wonderful feeling.
Symptoms: Awful…I mean KILLER, BRINGS ME TO TEARS back pain. It seriously stops me in my tracks at times. The worst is getting up from a laying down position. It takes me a good 5 minutes to get out of the bed in the morning. I asked Dr. Gernt about it and she said the pain is likely due to a "tilted uterus" putting pressure on my lower back. Good news is the uterus only gets bigger… oh wait…
Dr. Update: We saw Dr. Gernt on Monday. Everything was great. Heart rate was 174. A very active, wide awake little booger! We go back in late September.
