I Think I Have Finally Popped!

I think my belly has finally popped a bit. I can definitely tell that I am pregnant by looking at myself. When Chuck gets home from his business trip, I will make him take pictures and post them.

I went maternity clothes shopping on Saturday and got 5 pairs of work pants; what was I waiting for?!?!? They are soooo comfortable!!! I feel so much better throughout the day. It is actually surprising the cute pants they have for pregnant women these days. I was unable to find any shirts I liked yet. I will try again in a couple of weeks. I will have to stop being so picky because I wore a button up shirt that was never tight on me, and it was definitely a little snug. Oh well, I am really excited that my clothes are getting snug.

I have been feeling really great except for headaches I seem to be getting every night. I drink plenty of water; I do not know what is causing them. They are very common during pregnancy; I have been really good with being "strong" and not taking any medication. Baked potatoes with ranch dressing are still the food of choice for me. I have to have one nearly every day. Another thing that has been a little annoying is that EVERY time I stand up from sitting or laying down for a while, I have to pee. At this point in pregnancy they say you are supposed to be a little more relieved from bathroom trips.....not this lady here! I feel like I literally go 15 times a day! At least I know I am hydrated!

My next doctor's appointment is a week from Thursday (November 13th). It is just going to be a routine visit. Two weeks from then, I will be getting my first ultrasound finally!!! On that day we will find out the gender of the baby! I cannot wait to find out; I will be sure to write about it here on the blog.

I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy is going.... 16 weeks and 5 days! I hope I will still be saying the same thing in a few months....
