I am now half way through the pregnancy with little bit and can’t wait for the next 20 week to go by so we can meet this new little baby. I’ve been asked a lot how this pregnancy compares to the last one with the boys…I can’t really compare the two since last time there were TWO babies and this time there’s just one.<\/p>\n

Just like with the boys, I had horrible morning sickness through about week 17 and Zofran was my friend! Although, it wasn’t nearly as bad.\u00c2\u00a0 I lived on Zofran and Phenergan during the last pregnancy (I’m talking, 2 zofran’s a day – every day- and phenergan every night) and this time I only took it 4 or 5 days a week, just in the morning.\u00c2\u00a0 So while I still felt horrible this time, it wasn’t nearly as bad as last time.<\/p>\n

After the morning sickness went away, I started getting lovely headaches.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean serious headaches – ALL DAY LONG.\u00c2\u00a0 They would wake me up at night they were so bad. And when you can only take tylenol, which does nothing, you just have to live with it.\u00c2\u00a0 Thankfully those have gotten better, I only get them a few times a week now and not nearly as bad.<\/p>\n

I am finally started to get a belly, although I can still hide it pretty well.\u00c2\u00a0 My regular pants really don’t fit all that well anymore, but maternity pants are still too big.\u00c2\u00a0 I just look like all my clothes are too big and I ate too much for lunch or dinner.\u00c2\u00a0 another few weeks and they may fit better.<\/p>\n

I have started feeling the munchkin move and kick, not regularly, but at least a few times a day. We went to the doctor yesterday for a check up and everything looked great! Little bit was growing just as expected and was breech just like the boys…head up, feet down. We were able to confirm the gender on the sonogram so we can now stop saying “it”. But, you’ll have to wait to find out what he\/she is?! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The last few weeks I’ve felt really good, I’m not as tired and have more energy, and I’m not nauseous.\u00c2\u00a0 I have started having contractions though, but not as bad as with the boys, so she said everything is fine and we’ll just keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n
