Baby G - Week 16

Apparently, Baby G thought he/she was not getting enough attention because he/she gave us quite a scare last night. I was getting ready to take a shower and noticed blood everywhere on the floor. Jonathan immediately called the emergency nurse, who relayed our situation to the on-call doctor. After monitoring the situation for a few hours, they determined I should rest and see my doctor today for an ultrasound and checkup. My doctor determined everything was fine, but couldn't really find a reason for the bleeding. We did get to hear the heartbeat and had a bonus ultrasound. Now, the baby actually looks like a baby! The heartbeat was 158 beats per minute, and he/she was again quite active for the pictures! My doctor wants me to rest for the next couple of days and no exercise. I'll go back next Friday just to make sure everything is OK. Well, if it's a girl she's already causing drama!


This past week, we visited two more daycares close to our house. We've decided to get on the waiting lists for two of the three we visited. We're really hoping for our first choice, but our second option isn't bad either. And like with most things there are pros and cons to both. Hopefully, we have the daycare situation nearly figured out.

Yesterday, I told Jonathan was the first day I actually felt pregnant. I haven't had to wear any maternity clothes yet, and I haven't started to show much. However, yesterday I wore a pair of jeans that were pretty tight and with the shirt I had on there definitely was a little pooch starting. Unless, I balloon up over night, I think I can wear my regular clothes for a few more weeks (minus that certain pair of jeans!). My energy has been good, and I'm OK with most foods. I really haven't had a craving for anything crazy yet. I have had some trouble sleeping, mainly with trying to sleep on my side. I toss and turn from one side to the next, but I got a body pillow so hopefully it will help.
