Pregnancy Update: 17 weeks

So I really haven't said anything about my pregnancy because I want it all to be in one post for now! SO! This pregnancy has been so different than my first. With Brynlee I was super sick for the first trimester and lost a ton of weight. With this one, I was not sick AT ALL but I was so so so tired. It might be a combination of working, having a toddler, not being able to nap, and being pregnant at the same time. That might do it.

We had our first ultrasound on April 27th and we got to see our little baby! So cute! We took Brynlee with us and she loved looking at the baby on the TV and holding the pictures once we were done. We decided not to tell the world yet, but I loved having those pictures up on my bulletin board.

Around 13 weeks I got really sick all of a sudden. Like throwing up multiple times a day, can't eat, can't move...it was weird. We were about to go camping and I couldn't take it any more so when my doctor called to give me the results of our NT scan (aka our SECOND ultrasound) I asked if there was anything she could give me for nausea because we were going out of town and I couldn't be sick anymore. She wrote me a prescription for Diclegis and it is a magical thing. Women. If you are pregnant and sick, get it. You take two little pills before you go to bed and you never ever get sick again. It's fantastic.

I started feeling baby kick on June 11th so at about 15 1/2 weeks! That is so much earlier than with Brynlee and I love feeling this baby kick. It mostly does it when my pants are too tight on my stomach or when I lay still in bed. Spencer still keeps trying to feel it but I think it might be a while.

Our next ultrasound is scheduled for July 14th (MY BIRTHDAY!) to do the anatomy scan and find out if this little thing is a boy or girl!!!!! I'm so excited!!! It is also cow appreciation day that day and I will most likely have it off work so it is going to be a really great birthday this year!

I have had weird cravings already. For a while, all I wanted was spaghetti and popcorn. Now it's carrots and ranch, and strawberries with my cream cheese fruit dip! I also couldn't eat chicken for a while...that was really weird if you know me!

I'm about at my same weight but it's because I lost some and have gained some back. Hopefully I can keep it under control!!

I already feel huge. I feel like you could actually tell I was pregnant at like 14 weeks which is a full 4-6 weeks earlier than my last pregnancy. It's nice, but it's weird. I don't feel like I should Look pregnant yet, but apparently that's not true!!
