the First prego post

I guess it’s time to make a pregnancy post. I will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I have really been struggling with this pregnancy. I have gotten big so fast that people think I am much further than I am. Someone even asked when I was barely 11 weeks if I am expecting. Consequently, I have yet to take a bump progress pic or really do anything that has to do with the pregnancy. It’s been very different than my pregnancy with Chance.

I am no longer feeling sick, although around 4-6am, I am still nauseated and tend to eat something just to avoid feeling like throwing up. I have more energy (finally!)

We are finding out the gender next week and I am very anxious for that. I feel like after we do that, I will be more excited and will be able to buy a few things, etc. I want a girl but I have a feeling that it’s a boy. Trav wants a boy. And my mom wants a girl. Haha so we are all anxious to find out. We have a name picked out for a boy and basically know for a girl, just have to decide on spelling and a middle name, if it’s a girl.

I have gained 13 pounds so far and I am paranoid of gaining 45 pounds again. I worked very hard and got it all off but it wasn’t easy and I think it will be even harder this time around. I really haven’t exercised, since I can barely keep up with normal activities. However, I plan to start exercising, especially since it’s getting warmer. I would like to try water aerobics sometime. Perhaps I can rope my mom into doing that with me.

Work has been a struggle being pregnant but now that I have more energy, I am getting back to my ole self. I felt so worthless for so many weeks that it was very depressing for me. I am hoping to go down to 2 nights after we have the baby but we will see where we are at financially at that time.

My goal is to take a bump pic when we find out the gender. Perhaps then I will just have to come to terms with how big I have gotten.
