I started my 16th week today. I am doing a lot better, but had a bought with morning sickness this morning. It has been a while though. First time in a week. The only other time I got sick this week, I was upset. Every time I cry I throw up it seems.
I am supposed to start feeling the baby a little this week. I felt it for the first time last week. It was like bubbles and tickled. The baby's bones are hardening now, which is why I am supposed to feel it more.
I had a doctors appointment yesterday. I got to hear the baby. I heard the heartbeat, but the doctor had a hard time keeping it. The baby was so active, it was swimming all over the place. Even kicked hard enough to make a loud sound in the doppler thingy. I was so proud of the baby. It seems to be very healthy and extremely active. I have gained 5 pounds now. I guess that explains the bulge on my stomach.
I started getting nose bleeds last weekend. These pregnancy side effects are just no fun. I am ready for a breather. I am stuffy all the time and get bad headaches now. But mostly no throwing up. I guess that is something to be thankful for. Which of course I am very glad. I still don't have any energy, but thinks are getting better. I am not feeling like I don't want to do this anymore. I am very much in love with my baby now.
