15 weeks and 2 days

Blam is at 15 weeks and 2 days today. Look like blam gained a day since last doctor's appointment. Hubby asked how come everytime we go for appointment blam gains a day or two..the nurse said that's how it is measured by blam's growth but my due date will stay at July 22nd. It doesn't really make sense to me. We're hoping Blam will arrive on July 21st since the 21st is such a special day for us.... my birthday, our meetaversary, anniversary, and the date hubby proposed to me all falls on the 21st of the month and it'd be so cool to have Blam on the 21st too!!!

I'm in trouble with doc cuz i gained 5 lbs since my last appointment...no wonder my belly is sticking out. Doc said blam is probably weighing 5oz and the rest of my belly is gas...no wonder i've been so farty. I've been banned from anything sugary. I fessed up to drinking grape juice at work and now i'm in trouble with hubby cuz he never knew i've been doing that. I've been banned from lemonade too.. looks like it's just plain yucky water and me for now.

We heard blam's heartbeat for the first time and blam sounded way cute at 150bpm! Doc said blam sounded like girl and a very happy girl. Ok, i know she's good but can you really tell the sex of the baby by just listening?!?!?!?!

Week 14+

Little do I realize i'm at 14weeks plus! I have an OB appointment this Friday and I'm very happy that I'll probably get to see Blam again. I miss seeing my baby on the black and white monitor.... I've waited a whole month for the appointment!! From what i read, Blam is now more human-like and have started to look cute xD

We are so very lucky to know people that will give us furnitures and baby gears. Just today, hubby's co-worker gave us his baby changing station and from what he told me it's white and it's very heavy. I'm thinking..heavy probably means good quality?? I can't wait to get home and look at blam's very first piece of furniture! Yesterday a lady at church told us that we can have her crib, swing, bouncey chair thingy, high chair, toys for all stages, baby clothes, baby monitor, bottle warmer/sterilizer, everything that are practically new cuz her baby didn't use any of those. All she told us to buy were bottles, diapers and a stroller!! She told us the crib is cherry wood and it wouldn't match with the changing table..but WTH it's FREE!!! I can't believe how lucky we got with getting freebies from people!! she just saved us a whole bunch of money and blam's daddy might agree to buy blam that 2010 version of the stroller now!! LOL!!

Week 13

Woohoo!!! I made it!! I made it to 2nd trimester!!! Have I notice any difference?....Nope. I did notice my belly GREW all of the sudden!! The first time I noticed my belly was last Monday (after a weekend of Souplatation and all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ) I woke up Monday and my belly was like I've been soaked in miracle grow and was out there! I have no idea how the heck I got so big all of the sudden. The belly is sort of 'rounded-up' now and before pre-preggo when I was just being fat - I had 2 fat rolls separated by my waist when I sit...and now, being pregnant, the 2 fat rolls have developed into one big blob of round meat and it's sticking out. I know I'm going to get bigger which I am sure it will happen very soon. I was telling hubby when I get bigger he'll see my tummy come around the corner then he can start counting to 10 then he'll probably see my face at the count of 7 or 8...

Besides getting big this week I've started to look at baby gears and it's so overwhelming! I started looking at the bigger items like the crib, stroller, and car seat. Hubby asked me to make a spreadsheet at work on all the baby gears separating them by time frame we'll need to purchase and how many per item and the cost. That's like a hard project!! If I were to put a time frame on all the baby gear I'm just going to put ASAP on all the items. I really have no clue on when to buy things and all. All I know is I'm going to push a watermelon out of my virgina in July!

Week 12

I got sick! well..not bad but sick with lingering stuffy nose, cough and sometimes I would have dizzy spells and make me nauseous. I threw up for the first time since i've been preggo last saturday. Apparently Blam doesn't like one-day-old lo-mein and totally went into eject mode right after I ate the last bite. Blam was fine with that same lo-mein the day before. What a picky eater!

I've been having a lot of dreams and mostly of my daddy..I misses him especially with Blam coming along. :(
