Tonight Chuck and I went to the Vikings game. It was the last preseason game, so it was pretty boring, but we had a good time!

I think the baby was protesting being able to hear this week. Tuesday I went to the Lady Gaga concert, then Thursday, the Vikings game. During the game, I was sitting there and felt my first HUGE kick. There was no mistaking that one! I didn't feel anything the rest of the day, but it was so cool!

We had our 16 week appointment today. We heard the heart beat (which was 160) and when she was looking for it, we heard a big “thump” and the doctor said “that was a kick”! I thought that was really cool! I hope I start feeling the baby move soon! I keep thinking I feel something, but since I don't really know what it feels like, I don't know if I am feeling digestion, hunger or the baby. But it should become pretty apparent in the next couple weeks.

Other than that, the appointment was pretty dull. In and out. We did get to meet Dr. Louie who comes highly recommended by the Christensons. I thought she was really nice (for the few minutes I sat and talked to her). We'll see her again at the 20 week when we find out if this little baby is a boy or a girl! 🙂

I have been really good about going to walk. I went walking every morning last week before work and yesterday and today this week. On Saturday, I went on a walk around the neighborhood and Sunday I went shopping at Ikea and the MOA with Adam's gf Katie and got lots of walking in.

I keep hoping I will feel the baby move soon. I know it's still probably too small and too early, but I am so excited for that to happen! I lay in bed with my hands on my stomach hoping I feel something each night. The other night I thought I felt something and had Chuck feel. He sat there silently, with his hand on my stomach. Then looked at me and calmly said “dear, that is your stomach making noises.” 🙂 Oh well. It was worth a shot.

I got a couple BeBands (like the Bella Bands) to try out and I am SO excited to give them a try and make some of my pants fit for a while longer. I am so cheap and don't want to buy anything until I really need to!

I should really get around to taking a picture of my growing belly one of these days, too!

Is it February yet!? I am getting anxious to meet this little baby!

Got up and went on a walk this morning. It was a little more brisk today…less humid. I took a different path today and I will probably take it again tomorrow to see how far it actually was. I somehow turned off my gps thing at some point and didn't get a good idea of how long I was gone or how far I went. Oh well. 🙂 It seemed like a pretty good path to try again. 🙂

I went to get dressed this morning and I am down to only one pair of pants that fits comfortably. I can still do the rubberband tricks to extend the wear of them, but it might be time to look into the Bella Band or something similar. I also would like to get at least one pair of maternity jeans. I went to the Target downtown to look and I just didn't find anything I liked. I think I'll have to go to a normal one and see what I can come up with there!

Overall, I like that I am looking more pregnant now. I'm so excited to have a big belly! I think it will be so fun! Plus that means the baby is getting bigger and it will be closer to when we get to meet them! 🙂

I have decided that I am going to set my alarm with enough time to go on a walk in the morning and weather permitting, I am going to go. It's a good way to get some exercise and fresh air in. It makes me feel good for the rest of the day, too. And that's never a bad thing. 🙂

So this morning I went for a 1/2 hour walk which is about 1.6 miles…the route I have been taking. I am considering trying out a couple new routes so I have varying scenery and paths to take. 🙂 I like variety in my walks. AND because the path I have been taking is wooded and it has been so humid in the morning that the mosquitoes are voracious!

Today my fruit size changed to a lemon. Then I saw this picture of Stewie's (from Family Guy) face on a lemon and I had to save the picture. I hate Family Guy, but it was funny that there was a face on the lemon. 🙂

We had some dinner and it's clear that I am getting my appetite back. I feel like I am always hungry and I am back to being able to eat more in a sitting than I used to be able to.

I went on a walk around the neighborhood this morning (1/2 hour – about 1.6 miles). I was exhausted after my walk yesterday and I know I need to get back into walking as many days as possible again during the week to keep me feeling in shape!

Week 14 starts today. I can't believe how quickly (and slowly) things are going. I know it will be no time at all before I get to meet this little bundle of love, but it also feels like it's FOREVER away!

When I got home, we went to DQ with the neighbors. It was wonderful!

Headed home and then the Feldhaus family brought us some very delicious cookies! It was so sweet of them!

I felt like I had been sitting too long this weekend and needed to get out and move around, so I went on a nice hour walk around the neighborhood. It was a bit hot out, but it felt so good to get out and move around a bit!

We also went to a neighbor's/friend's house for dinner and a birthday celebration. It was so fun. I really like having neighbors that I truly consider friends. We live by some great people!

Hung out at the cabin and went on a walk with Trisha in the morning before more people got up to the cabin. It was a nice relaxing day!

Sent a big email out to family to tell them about the baby! Everyone was so excited. We included one of the pictures from the 12 week u/s, too.

We headed up to our friend's cabin for the weekend and got to tell more of our friends in person. Everyone is so happy for us and I truly feel blessed to have such great friends and family.

Today might have been even more amazing than the first ultra sound. We got to see the baby again in all sorts of positions and it's really getting bigger. The coolest part was how much it was moving around in there! I can't believe how much it moves in there and you can't feel any of that movement.

The baby was about 6cm or 2.5 inches (crown to rump length). I think it was only a little over 2cm the last time we were there. Wow!

The heart rate was 161. Which they told me was good. And it was good that it was really active. They told me I have 5 days until the 2nd trimester starts. I will now be counting down for that! How exciting!

We got to her the heart beat, too. That was so cool to hear. I can't believe I have something that tiny growing inside me. It's all so amazing! I feel really blessed!

The only downfall today was that we didn't really care for the doctor we saw. I am seeing a different one next time, so we'll see if we like her better. She's the same one a friend of mine sees and LOVES. So I have high hopes that it will go well with her in 4 short weeks!
