The Nursing Stool Part Deux
THIS is a fucking nursing stool. Its purpose? To ease back pain while nursing. Uh... ever hear of an ottoman? Pile of books? Your husband's back? I mean, come on. As if you aren't ripping us off enough for the $300 breast pump, you think we're going to shell out $207.99 for this ugly turd?I will not be registering for the nursing stool.

My Three Bumps
I think my boobs stick out further than my belly at this point, but not for long. Cory hugged me a couple weeks ago and said, "Hey! Your boobs got to me before you did!"I'm pretty sure I went for my last prego bike ride this weekend. It's just so hard... flat roads with no wind and my HR goes up to like 155. I don't know, I'm going to try again when it actually cools off and see if that helps. If not, I'm going to have to stick to walking and hiking and classes I guess. Ugh.
Being fat is no fun, even when it's for a good reason.
A Reminder for ME
You are now 18 weeks pregnant! WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOU
Weight gain and mood swings and cravings, oh my! Your body is going through a lot of changes right now -- so many that you may feel you can't keep track. Your best bet: Eat right, exercise when you can, and give yourself plenty of down time. If you treat your body well, your emotions should remain at bay. If all else fails, there's always chocolate.

Sex
No, you pervs, I'm not going to talk about our sex life during pregnancy...
We find out whether we have a boy or a girl on Sept. 27th. We have an 11:00 appointment in Oklahoma City, and apparently the ultrasound is 4-dimensional, so expect some pretty fabulous photos.
We will also be registering that day, since we'll already be in OKC. Target and Babies R Us will be the stores of choice. And unlike for our wedding, we will register for everything we WANT, not just what we need. I'd like to personally thank Jerm and Andia for bringing this to my attention. Registering for our wedding would have been much more fun had I attacked it with wanton, guilt-free abandon!
Hope everyone has a great weekend, avoids the head crud and gets out in this glorious weather.

All you moms and moms-to-be who are lurking... please tell me the point of a nursing stool? I am so confused.

The HeartBeat
We really had no idea what our appointment was about today. I thought perhaps just more bloodwork and a pee check, but we got to hear the heartbeat! 156 bpm, or as Cory put it, "That's a heartbeat climbing a hill, at least a 7!" :) Cracks me up.
When the doc rubbed the little wand (too little to be called a magic wand this time) on me, we heard the beating. Then it went away. She said, "there it is. that's your baby in there! Active little bugger too cuz he just swam away from me." She had to work on finding it again, guess he was swimming back and forth. :) I had this image of a 16 week old fetus splashing around the fluid like it was a turtle kiddie pool.
No word on the gender yet. We will be going to OKC in a few weeks for the pre-screening ultrasound. This is the optional test to check for Down's Syndrome or other abnormalities. Optional likely means insurance doesn't cover it, but being my age, risks for these kind of things go way up so we'd rather know than not. Anyway, at that appointment, we'll know the gender and likely come home with a phenomenal baby pic to post. Doc says their ultrasound machine is amazing.
No movement yet, that I can feel. But she said the size is perfect and so is the heartbeat. :) I've gained 3 pounds since the last appointment, it seems like a lot more but I was glad to hear all those cookies I ate last night didn't ruin me. :)
I came home from a work event last night sick and it has progressively gotten worse. Ugh. I went to my class this morning and just made the girls play basketball so I wouldn't have to work out. The rest of my day, I canceled and spent it in bed. In fact, it's calling my name again so I think I'll head that way.
That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by!
BLOG PS: I have 4 books purchased so far: Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, for obvious reasons, Puff the Magic Dragon, Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen, cuz i loved the name, and my all-time favorite, Goodnight Moon. :)
