16 Week Update

Didn't I just write my 15 week update? Probably doesn't seem like that long ago because I was 2 days late on it, but boy time sure has gone by pretty fast!

Had a Drs appointment yesterday, everything went very well, but as usual I forgot the most important thing I went there for! I don't have any refill's on my Zofran prescription left, not sure how many pills I have left either (too afraid to count them now!). I figured I'm 16 weeks now, maybe I'm just taking them every morning for nothing (even though I still feel sick when I wake up and do vomit at least a few times a week if I don't take the pill quick enough) so this morning I ran a trial and didn't take my pill. Everything seemed fine, I even ate my breakfast without a problem, but then I laid down for a nap around noonish and my stomach revolted. After that it was impossible to keep anything down, though it's kind of funny to be retching your guts out and hear your toddler walking around copying you (they're so nice to mama!) Anyway, I had to cave and take my pill otherwise I'd never make it through the day, or through dinner and I'd hate to starve myself or Bitty Bean! So I'm either going to have to call my Dr and ask if they can get me a prescription, or when I go for my ultrasound in 2 weeks ask for one then. I'll have to count my pills and see if I have 2 weeks!

I also received good news today! Well, first my anatomy scan is scheduled for April 20th, so we'll finally know without a doubt whether Bitty is a boy or a girl and will be able to tell everyone then. I also received a call to schedule my C-Section! She gave me a choice of the 10th, 11th, or the 12th. The doctor that I like to see was scheduled for the 12th so I just went with that, seems like a nice even number to me! I'll be exactly 39 weeks! Unless Bitty decides to come earlier, which can happen, but I highly highly doubt it! I'm sure once the 10th rolls around I'll be kicking myself in the ass, but I want to make sure Bitty gets to stay in for as long as possible while I'm still level headed about it!

I was also really surprised when we got to the Dr and I had to step on the scale. I thought for sure I had gained at least 3-4 lbs considering my hunger has soared in the past 4 weeks and I am eating a lot more than I was! I didn't gain anything! Not that I really need to or anything, but I'm happy that it's going so well!

Symptoms - Obviously I'm that pregnant chick who gets morning sickness the entire pregnancy, oh joy, and thank god for zofran! Otherwise it's business as usual. Been getting some pretty good RL pains, especially when I'm picking up one of the girls, going to have to be more careful... not sure how to do that! Toddlers could care less if you're pregnant or not!
Food cravings - I think Justin wanted Panda Express more than I did, we had it like 3 nights in a row and I'm so over it now! I still haven't devised a way to get an Icee, unless I drive all the way to chandler and go to Sam's Club for no other reason lol
Size of baby - Baby is about 5" and 3.5oz, the size of an avocado! Apparently the next few weeks is a large growth spurt (my crampy stretching uterus is overjoyed) and Bitty will double in size!
