Hello everyone!
Baby & I are doing well. Morning sickness went away around week 12. I have had a migraine every day since then, but drinking a glass of tea in the morning and in the afternoon makes that go away. Except for once, when I still had a bad migraine no matter what I did, FOR 6 DAYS. I ended up taking meds (per my OB) that are not so great for the baby, but it did stop the crazy migraine, and I only had to take them once. For the most part though, I feel great! I can stand, walk, go upstairs, and other things normal people take for granted all the time. =) My neurologist is not sure if this is a permanent change, or if I will go back to being broken once the baby is born. We shall see. That just gives me a good reason to have a lot of kids!
Baby is developing right on track, which is good. There was a slight scare with a potential neural tube defect, but it was just a false positive. I feel kicks every day now, and they are strong enough that George can feel them too. Baby has started "retaliating" kicks as well. George will poke my belly, and get kicked in return. =P My belly button started turning inside out a few days ago, which really weirds me out. In the beginning when my belly started growing it turned into an endless vortex (you could see the inside before then) and now it looks even more weird.
We were planning on going down to Virginia for Christmas/Yule, but I was told by my OB it might not be a good idea to travel so far away 6 weeks before the due date. We are still planning on going to Texas for Thanksgiving (and a baby shower!) though. =)
I will not be sharing the baby's sex or name on the blog until they are born =) Mostly because I cannot trust that everyone will stay open-minded about colors and styles of things if they know the sex. It really should not matter at all. Bright colors, in ALL colors, are awesome =)
