Monthly checkup

Yesterday we had our monthly check up, I'm now 17 weeks almost 18 (as of tommorow).
We got the results back from my blood test and from the ultrasound. Everything sounds pretty textbook, it was nice to find out what blood type I am, I didn't even know until yesterday!
Also it was great to hear baby wilson's heartbeat again, about 152-156 so its slowed down since last check up but right on track its supposed to do that :) Everything seems to be healthy so I am very grateful and thank God for providing us health.
The last couple days have been brutal for heartburn so anyone who has any natural remedies please let me know. I don't have it so far today, so I'm hoping maybe its done for now. Baby Wilson has moved up quite a bit, she or he is right under my belly button now.
My weight gain is right on track also :) I gained 4 pounds in the last month, so things are going well.
I also asked about going to Hawaii, we head off on Saturday WOOHOO, drink lots of water on the plane and make sure I walk that's what I have to remember so I dont get swelling etc. I trust that God will watch over us and keep me on track so that everything continues well.
I'm starting to get really excited - we've emptied out the guestroom and our friends are going to help us paint the base coats of the baby room and then when we get back from Hawaii, Curtis is going to start doing his creative artwork. The nursery is going to be different and I am excited about it and Curtis is really excited about it :)
Well - till next time!

Meeting Baby Wilson

Yesterday was the ultrasound - after being able to empty my bladder the ultrasound was alot more enjoyable! 1 1/2 Litres is aLOT to be drinking in 1/2 hr time span.

So cool to see our baby, I was jealous because Curtis got the first glance as the ultrasound tech was taking some measurements and the screen was not turned so I could see. But when she turned the screen over so I could see it was unbelievable...similar to when we heard the heartbeat it was hard to really sink in the feeling until afterwards. Wow - what work God does! I couldn't believe that there is a little baby inside of me that God is knitting this baby in my womb. We are so excited to meet Baby Wilson in 5 more months.

The days are alot better these days making pregnancy so much more enjoyable and such a blessing. In the days of green I thought the end would never come and life is so much more enjoyable - my little belly keeps growing and I believe baby is moving closer to my belly button soon. We also saw Baby Wilson move in the ultrasound and i THINK I felt baby move in the middle of the night last night, hard to really know the feeling yet - but soon enough :)

Praise God for his beautiful creation!

I'm Baaack

Like many my attentions have been taken by facebook - utter facination of reconnecting with old friends and new friends ... so I have neglected the blogging world... AND with feeling so ill the last few months it was hard to be creative and write anything other than feeling like I was going to throw up. Indeed June is already being great - I feel excellent, I am in my SECOND trimester... yes, I am PREGO! And sooo excited, especially now that I am feeling alot better. I didn't think the day would come and I am so happy for the days the last few that i have been feeling so much better!
