Half way!

Well today I start the 20th week! I'm officially half way done! I am finally feeling really good I got some support stockings for work and I can't believe the difference it makes in my legs! I get home at night and still feel good enough to take the dogs for a walk, make dinner and all the other chores!! They may look silly but I'm a fan! The baby movement comes and goes but could finally feel it kick my hand last night, instead of always feeling it from the inside! Big news to come next week!!!

19th week

I'm a tad late with this posting, but this was the start of my 19th week. We had a big party for Hector and Haillee over the weekend so that explains the big smiley face bouncy house in the back ground! :)  

Still not much change, feeling really good and getting excited for the 20 week mark!!

Baby movement

Well, starting over the weekend I can finally feel Taco moving! Hector is able to feel him as well, but I am having trouble feeling him on the outside... but I diffidently feel him on the inside! Almost every night we lay in bed and he kicks and kicks... and during the day if I am still for long periods of time I can feel it best! I don't feel it when I'm up moving around (which is most of the day).  I love feeling him move around..for now, and if the DR is right and says I have an active kid... I could be feeling it A LOT in the months to come!

PS- I say "him" cause I don't like saying "it".. We still don't know the sex yet!  And we are still hopping for a boy :) 

another big week down..18 weeks!

This has been a crazy week for all of us! Over the weekend I was feeling very tired and sore and didn't want to do much, I figured I was coming down with some sort of a bug.  But when I woke up Tuesday Morning, I felt great.. and Taco grew!!! I officially pass as a pregnant person!! Everyday this week I have had constant pulling and tugging from my pelvic bone up to my breast, and from hip to hip! My skin is starting to hurt from the stretching... and I'm just begging week 18! everyday Taco is growing and making more room! (praying I don't give birth to a toddler at this point..) lol.

I feel like I am growing a little faster then the average person.. but what do I know.. its my first one!! 4 people have now told me it looks like I'm having a Boy!! Any guesses?? Speculations??

In other HUGE news! We have officially signed Taco up for the most amazing Daycare/Preschool!!!  I have never felt so confident in a decision we have made, and I have been fretting over finding the "perfect" daycare for Taco, and for us! I dream about it, talk about it, think about it all the time. So when I talked to this lady for the first time, I instantly loved her! After lots of thinking and talking with Hector, parents, friends (other parents that took there kids there),  I went and met her.  I was there for almost an hour and a half! SHE IS AMAZING!! I could spend 3 days writing down all the wonderful perfect things about her.. but its not needed.  I feel very confident in our decision to choose her and this place, and have ZERO worries at all about leaving our little taco there!! WHAT A HUGE RELIEF!! I have  been so happy about it this week I have even had trouble sleeping...(again!)   

That is about all for the week- I have stopped paddling due to being very tired and uncomfortable almost all the time. I have now started just walking, which is more then enough for me.  AS your can tell by the picture, my work shirts are getting a little short in the front.I'm going between maternity clothes and regular clothes at this point.. but not sure how much longer that will last!  

keep posted- a few more weeks till we find out if Taco is a boy or girl! :)   Give me your guesses! 

Week 17

Well I just finished my 16th week an had a Dr. Appt yesterday. The babies heart rate was 146 (normal range) and the Dr said I was going to have a very active child..:/. She would find the heart beat, loose it, find it, loose it.... So on.. She said it was moving all over the place (just like it was in the first ultrasound). Speaking of ultrasound.... Another 4 weeks and we will finally find out if it's a boy or a girl!! Other then getting headaches, not having any issues and feeling pretty good (on days that I sleep good). The sleeping at night is gradually getting better, although my Dr said I can take Tylenol PM, so on the weekend on occasion if it's been a rough week I do take one to get some sleep! Still not feeling Taco move yet, although I keep waiting! I'm very excited to feel it moving! Here is my belly at the beginning of 17 weeks. So far (although still pretty early on.. Taco seems to be all out front!).
