18 weeks

....and a random photo i would've posted on my other blog. This was yesterday at a pool party for Joe's nephew. The boys are bald again because of a lice scare and after their father buzzed their heads they looked all patchy so i took shaving cream and a razor to them. Anyway, we had fun. Ice loves to "swim" with floaties on. he even does laps with me when i take them to the Aquatic Center here.

Welp, it's that time....

and it isn't as though i'm going to have the possibility of a hairless, pink-bottomed monkey or a wrinkled 2 ton elephant. It's one or the other of boy or girl and therefore, i am not worried even a little. I am hungry and i need to shower though. *wishing for pink dust* - for Joe. He wants a girl ...so...





(well, as Joe said: There is still the possibility of a hairless, pink-bottomed monkey) because it's a......

16 weeks. (photo heavy)

and the last one is from 15 weeks, sitting around at my computer not feeling well. See? i can clean up- at least for a wedding rehearsal dinner. I LOVED the shirt btw.

I'm 15 weeks and i'm tired!

What's new? i always get around to updating the day before the week changes. Tomorrow will be 16 whole weeks or 4 months. Also tomorrow we get to find out what S. is having- i am so excited for her! Nothing super spectacular in the world of symptoms and etc, except that i've been rather "moody" lately- i've been told. I know i've been more irritable for sure. It is hot here and even with the indoor air conditioning, it's been rather miserable. I'm sure it could be worse but this time, i swear, the very life is being wrenched out of me and i'm feeling and experiencing every second of it. I'm having milk duct issues again (still) and that is incredibly painful. i almost pulled out one of my pumps last night to try to relieve it. Bleh.

School will be finishing up this month so i'll just be very busy with extra credit work till it is. It's been nice going to the Farmer's Market every Saturday- but hot. I'm fairly burnt right now. Nothing spectacular like i said, just a full and now finished 15 weeks.

(Sigh: it looks like i've already written about 15 weeks....and the memory continues to peel away like the layers of an onion.)

15 weeks.

15 down, 25 to go! Yesterday was another O.B. appointment. BP: 180/72 Weight: 167.2 (This is a total of what? 7.2? whole lbs i've gained after losing the first 15.)

Took a minute but we finally heard the hb for the first time. (What is it with my babies and their hiding their hb till i'm fairly far along?- it's happened with all 3!)- But we already had an u/s so i wasn't too worried. Not to mention last night he/she was fairly aggressive and i was feeling it swim all around directly before we were called into the office. Dr. said it sounds like it's around late 150's, early 160's- which of course means i think: girl! We have the big U/S to schedule in three weeks.
