In true 3rd child fashion, the poor babe hasn’t gotten any weekly bumpdate posts until now. My pregnancy with Gracyn was in my pre-blog life and I did a pretty decent job of documenting my pregnancy with Leighton (Here’s me with L at 15 weeks). I have at least managed to take a weekly photo almost every week so far with #3 so I have that going for me at least.
We heard the baby’s heartbeat again on Monday of this week. He/She was hiding a bit which always makes me terribly nervous but it eventually showed up, sounding sweet as ever. Heartbeat was right around 160.
I *thought* I felt the tiniest of flutters the other night while we were sitting on the couch bingeing on Breaking Bad. And again last night. But surely it was just gas?! Ha. I didn’t feel either of the girls move until well after 20 weeks so I was surprised I even noticed it. We’ll see if it continues!
My appetite has been a little wonky this week. I could eat only cereal and strawberry smoothies and be totally content with my life. I was really thrown through a loop the other night when I smelled the spaghetti Justin was cooking and immediately became nauseous. I figured maybe I stood up too soon or something but I couldn’t even eat the plain noodles. And I normally LOVE plain noodles. Like, WHAT is that!?! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve preferred my spaghetti light on the sauce because that’s how much I like noodles. But nope. Not that night. They still sound gross to me today. Justin thinks that means we’re having a boy. I mean, it’s NOODLES. They taste like nothing on a normal day so it’s just bizarre to me that I would have an aversion to something like that. Pregnancy is weird.
I hoped we’d be able to get our sonogram at my next appointment at 18 weeks but my doc is making me wait. How rude, right?! We could either make a separate appointment at 20 weeks or wait until another regular visit at 22 weeks. No brainer. We’ll go back for an extra visit on April 10th to get a good look at the babe and finally find out if it’s a boy or girl!
I’ve started a list of names on my phone and I think we’ll be in a world of trouble if it’s another girl cuz I got nothin’! Well, that’s not true. I had a few but they’ve been vetoed. We have a decent list of boy names started. Good thing we have a while to figure it out!
