Ok, so I lied!

Hello everyone,
I was led astray by a website -- I am indeed as of Saturday the 15th, 16 weeks (4 mo.) along. I should have followed my inner mommy instinct. I had an appt with a midwife this time. The appt went really well. The biggest difference was that I felt WAYY more comfortable asking questions than I had with a doctor. The doctor couldn't have been nicer, but there is something about talking to a woman that gives a different spin to the conversation. So, when the midwife and I got to talking about 'belly-hair', there was no embarrassment or desire to pretend that of course I looked like a hair less goddess in my bathing suit. :-) I don't think any boys read this blog, so I feel fairly comfortable talking about it here.
Anyway, besides the personal rapport that I felt, I also had a good visit babywise. I had gained one pound (yipee). I didn't feel that it was that grandiose of an accomplishment, but the midwife seemed content with it. We heard the baby's heartbeat. It was much easier to find this time. Still beating at 150 beats per minute. (Which is good!) Also, we heard a few thumps, which I was informed were KICKS. The midwife opined that my baby was active. You didn't have to tell me that! Our next appointment we'll get to have another ultrasound which may reveal the gender of our little bambino.
I also got an Rx for Xofran to help me cope with the vomiting. Actually, it's supposed to help eliminate the vomiting. It's worked so far and I am really excited about that. But, the downside is that it is a heavy duty medicine, expensive for our insurance co. and just heavy duty for my body. I hope that baby follows Josh's advice and and lets the medicine just pass on by.

15 WEEKS

Alright, I think I lost a week somewhere in the process. Or rather, I lost track of the weeks and ended up gaining a week! I have a Doctor's appointment next week, so I suppose I would have found out then. I'm making slow but sure improvements, for which I am sooooooooo thankful. I've introduced a little soy back into my life, which has brought CHOCOLATE back into my life. I hadn't realized how lonely I was until I had my first drink of chocolate soymilk and -- WOW. I also bought a little bit of chocolate soy ice cream by the name of Chocolate Obsession. Incredible how your tastebuds forget. So, I'm temporarily over my nectarine binge and have moved on to chocolate Silk. (That's the name for the chocolate soy milk-- clever, ain't it?)
Yesterday was a banner day for me and visitors. Josh worked from home for part of the day, Brittny came and visited for awhile, and then later in the day Ben, Jen, and Lydia dropped by. People are the best kind of distraction for me. :-)
I also want to take this opportunity to laud my husband to the skies. His patience is really being tested by practically 12 weeks of non-normal home life. Non-regulated laundry, food, ironing, bed-making, bathroom cleaning, you name it -- NON NORMAL. He has become an expert grocery shopper and a clever cleaning guy, too. Also, we decided that if we ever needed any extra cash, we could hire him out to iron people's clothes. He's WAY better at it than I am.
Well, have a wonderful FOURTH OF JULY everyone.
