I have been super busy at work and exhausted at home, which doesn't leave me much time to blog or upload pictures. Which I hope to do very soon. We had our ultrasound yesterday and discovered that we are having a boy! And so far, he's very healthy and doing well. Looks like he is going to be long (tall) as his femor bones is long for his age. He was moving and dancing, kind of doing a movement that looked like crunches. I don't really feel his kicks yet. He is facing up and toward my spine, so he is kicking the placenta, not my stomach.
I have been feeling really good. I started taking Omega 3 (thanks Erin!) on the advice of a friend and whether it's that, or just the 2nd trimester that is making me feel good, It's hard to say, but I'll take it.
Oh, and we now have a new due date of 1/19/07. Which is a Friday. That makes me about 19 weeks and 5 days. Farther along than we thought. We need to sign up for some pregnancy classes soon. As slow as this has been going, it's going fast.

Prenatal Yoga
I went to a prenatal yoga class last night. It was awesome! I loved it. It was really nice to be around a bunch of pregos. There was the full range of 12 weekers to “my due date is tomorrow” and there were probably about 12-15 ladies in the class. I loved it. It was the first time I was in a room full of people I KNEW I had something in common with. I got home at 9:15 and crashed. I’m a little sore today. But the class was really good for me. I never realized how quickly you lose it when you don’t use it.

A few days ago
We went to Mom’s on Saturday for my Grandpa’s 84th birthday party. Shelly made great lasagna and I made a carrot cake. The Mackays came to the party and it was pretty fun! Everyone’s rubbing my belly now, which doesn’t bother me so much anymore. May be the last time someone rubs my belly and thinks it’s cute or exciting! At least until a few months after the baby is born, and then I’ll hope that’ll be Keith’s job.
I felt great all week last week. I had energy and a good mood. Today and yesterday I have been tired again. Sleepy and lead weighty. I imagine the baby’s having a growth spurt. I have started taking Omega 3 supplements, which I hear is good for baby’s brain growth and my mood for some reason. So far, I haven’t noticed a difference. I’ll take them anyway.
Tonight I’m going to make a calzone from scratch. Well kind of, I have wheat bread dough from Trader Joe’s. Yum!

The size of an Avocado.
August 17, 2006 Thursday
I have been feeling much better. Worlds better than I did. In fact I almost feel like the old me. Which makes me hopeful that the worst is over, at least for now.
The baby is now about the size of an avocado and will double in size over the next few weeks. That’s pretty exciting. There is a woman at work who is a month ahead of me and it’s interesting to watch how she grows and have a kind of guideline for how I will look in a couple of weeks.
We will get the ultrasound to see the sex of the baby on the 29th. In just under 2 weeks. So expect an announcement or tell me if you don’t want to know. Keith and I will be taking some classes at Sharp to prepare for birth and baby. I think that’ll help me, but especially help Keith know better what to expect, and take some of the scariness out of it. Not much else is going on. The weather has cooled off tremendously, and that is making life easier. I am looking forward to Fall like never before. I can’t wait until October! My favorite time of the year.

Exorcist Anyone?
August 12, 2006 Saturday 8:34 am
Okay, so I have been sick. Very scary- been to the hospital 2x this week, had an EKG sick. I know what your asking yourself, “how’s the baby?!” Thanks, the baby seems to be fine. And after 2 days of sleeping, exorcist style vomiting and comatose laying around, I seem to be much better today too. This has been a very scary week. Keith has been wonderful during this sick time. Taking care of me, calling the hospital, taking me to the hospital, sitting with me-even cleaning the puke out of my car when I let loose on the way HOME from the hospital on Thursday. He’ll be a great dad. If he can hold it together while scooping puke from the front seat, I no longer worry about him changing a diaper! He truly is a renaissance man!
I have an appointment with my regular OB on Tuesday, followed by a cardiologist. So we’ll see how everything is going along. I still think I feel the baby moving around at night, but still can’t be sure for sure. I measure around 41” around the belly button (I started at about 36-38”) and I have gained a scary 17 pounds. I gained a ton in the first few months, but now I am back on track gaining about a pound a week, which is what I should be gaining right now. Unfortunately the weight I gained in the beginning can’t be added on to my weight in the future. It doesn’t work that way. L
So now I am hopeful things will be good for a while. I am up today, showered and ready to take care of business. Just a little slower that usually is all.
