Pregnancy Update

I am 18 weeks now which is almost halfway for me bacause I will deliver by 38 weeks. This was taken a couple of days ago. It is an ugly picture taken right before bed when I was really tired but it does the job of showing the belly. I am quite dizzy most of the day. I am not as tired but still get frequent nosebleeds. I'm sad because I can no longer comfortably sleep on my stomache. I have felt a few movements from the baby already. I have gained about 4 pounds. It is getting really hard for me to carry Dallin up and down the stairs which for some reason he now insists on. At times I have only had enough energy to make dinner but now I am able to do some "chores" around the house everyday. I am seeing 4 specialists (a nephrologist, an endocrinologist, a perinatologist and a retina specialist) and an OBGYN of course. They all say that everything is going very well. We will be finding out soon what the gender is. I feel pretty good. We will keep you posted.

Looking good! When do you find out what you are having? We find out on March 6th. That date can't come soon enough. I just started feeling the baby. I'd forgotten how cool that was. We hope things continue to go well for you!

You look good---can't believe you have only gained 4 lbs. I always get so huge. I hope the energy comes back soon!! Take care! We miss you guys.

Oh my gosh, you look so good! By 18 weeks I've usually gained at least 30 pounds!

Love the belly! You must have to go to the doctor everyday with all those specialists! But it's good to hear all is going well in all those areas. Keep up the good work on that baby growing!

You look great, but not very happy about having your picture taken! Congrats on your new little one to be!

Four pounds at 18 weeks? You make me sick. I'm literally going to vomit right now. And you always deliver early? I have no sympathy for you. None. Well, except for the nosebleed thing. And having to see four specialists. Oh, and being pregnant. I guess I do have a teensy bit of sympathy...but not a lot.

You look so excited in that picture! Awesome!

I'm glad you're seeing those specialists so that you can know that everything is going well. Can't wait til you find out!

That's exciting! Can't wait for you to find out what you're having! How fun! :o)
