Pregnancy-16 Weeks

Did I tell you all I'm preggers? YEAH ME!!!!

What happened to the whole we are going to wait until I lose weight? Well I can't have kids when I'm dead-ha ha. Truth is, the clock is just a clickin!

HOW I GOT PREGNANT?
I guess I didn't keep that dime between my legs like mother said......ha ha jk. Read the book pervert, it will tell you ALL about it.

Oh my goodness I have to say we are really lucky. And I mean REALLY lucky. We just decided we weren't really trying, but just not preventing. We didn't want to make it less romantic, or make intimacy seem like a chore or anything. Most of all, we didn't want chica here to stress about it. And seriously like barely more than a couple months later ............zap! Adam's boys can sure swim! So much for chubby girls having a hard time getting pregnant. Actually I bet there is a lot of truth to that, but I think my family is just highly fertile. And I thank God for that truly! It is in my prayers every night.


HOW AM I FEELING PHYSICALLY?
Oh wowsers! So I was so shocked in the beginning, and could barely keep my mouth shut about it, so I didn't even wait 12 weeks until telling everyone.

So I started getting sick really EARLY. I can describe the first trimester in 2 words - VOMITING & EXHAUSTED. I was so sick and just so tired.

I'm still having this weird choking sensation. Found out I have acid reflux, but I often choke and dry heave or throw up throughout the day, even though I no longer have nausea. Its this weird throat thing. I saw an ENT and they saw nothing. They wanted me to see a GI, but the OB says they can't do much during the pregnancy, so I just have water a lot and chew my food really really well.

HOW DO I LOOK PHYSICALLY?
I just look fatter. I see those skinny girls with the cute little basketball belly and I nearly cry. SO envious am I. I'm not sure I'll ever look pregnant. No point in trying to suck in my two bellies.

AM I BABY HUNGRY?
More than you can imagine. I cry at the drop of a hat now, and ESPECIALLY at any baby commercials or if I see a baby in person. Adam has to stop me from kidnapping the child. I just can't wait to see the baby, to hold it and play with its little toes and fingers.

DELIVERY SCARE
I haven't read up on this yet. To be honest, I'm sort of petrified of it. I want to be all calm and try to go natural, but who knows what will happen.

DOCTOR'S VISITS
1st Visit: The first one was the FUN one where I got examined down there, a pap smear, and a breast exam, none of which was that fun. However we did get to see the baby which was incredible. The dr didn't even yell at me for being fat and pregnant. Good times!
2nd Visit: Our dr got called in to do a C Section. He couldn't get a heartbeat so we got an ultrasound and we saw our baby. Holy cow she is a gemini I can tell-she wouldn't sit still for nothing.
3rd Visit: This was yesterday. I was really bummed we didn't get ultrasound to see if we could see gender. Oh I'm so impatient. Dr is way happy I've only gained 8 pounds so far. And actually that is pretty good for being around the holidays!

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH BABIES?
Beats me! I guess I'll soon find out. I feel so clueless about the entire thing. I held my friend's baby who is 6 months and it terrified me as much as it excited me. So scared I'll break them!

BOY OR GIRL?
Adam things its a boy, and I think its a girl. I guess one of us is right.
