How I'm feeling: I can say in these past few days I have felt great! I've been in an especially good mood. The only symptoms I've been dealing with from week 14 until now are headaches and cramping. When my headaches come it is nothing like I've ever experienced before. They are NOTHING like pre-pregnancy headaches. It feels like my head and neck are being hit continuously with a hammer times 9 thousand. My cramps feel like my insides are stretching from one pelvis to the other. I'm reminding myself that all the stretching is my body's way of preparing itself for the little, rapid-growing baby that is in there. In that case, all of these discomforts are worth it. :)
I lack the patience I need! I still have 5 weeks to go until I find out whether my little boo is a BOY or a GIRL! The waiting game is driving me craaaaazy! It feels like the days and weeks are going by so slow! Plus, it doesn't help that I'm at home all day with nothing to take my mind off of it. I'm so curious to see! Everyone around, for the most part, says GIRL. I will be equally thrilled either way, I just wanna know NOW! I wish I could beg my Dr. to get out the ultrasound machine and check at my next appointment instead of making me wait til 20! A girl can dream..
I haven't felt any real flutters yet, but I'm hopeful that they will come soon. My mom just bought us a heart doppler, so hopefully we can get that working soon and be able to hear the heartbeat whenever we want. :)
Milestones of the week:
- I had my first instinct/feeling that "it" is a boy. I'm not counting on it because I'm not dead-set on it. I really don't know!?! All the silly wives tales things point toward girl.
- I graduate from college next Saturday, Dec 10th. That's an accomplishment! I will be the first in my family to graduate from college.
