16 Weeks...

So Friday had to have been one of the best days for us, especially Ted, in quite sometime.  We went to the doctor for the 4 month checkup to start the day and it got better from there.  Well actually it started off with me messing up the time of the appointment and being 20 min late but thankfully they were just fine with that and not mad at all.  I have to say though, I blame that on the pregnancy brain and to be honest with you all I kind of messed up the time of one of my shifts this past week (in a schedule that hasn't changed in eons, doh).  Neither of them were really bad mess ups just really dumb.  Anywho, to the more important things that you all want to know about...

The little one has a super strong heart beat and there was no issues hearing it rapidly beating away inside of me.  Guess all the blood work came back normal as there was no mention of it and my blood pressure was also good.  Overall, it looks like everything is progressing nicely and there are no concerns from the doctor.  Unrelated though, I did find out that I have popped a rib in my chest...doh.  No idea how I really did it but figure it was either from coughing when I was sick or maybe at the gym.  Needless to say, there is nothing one can do about it except rest and hope it goes back into place on its own, unless I want to go to a chiropractor which is not in my own personal options. 


Finally that nausea has subsided almost completely but not totally. I still do get some and it is mostly in the evening now.  But man, this peeing thing, having to do it so often is going to be the end of me, not to mention feeling like all I do is eat, eat, eat....oh what a life, lol, eat and pee.  Unfortunately though, now that I am not so tired, I am back to not being able to sleep which royally sucks.  I guess though, maybe I am just preparing my body for when the baby comes.  Other than the fact I am now showing with a wee baby bump, can't say that there is much else to report on the baby side of things. Oh, wait, thought of something...Thanks to Carla, I have been hooked up with some Whatchyamacalit (sp?) chocolate bars so my craving needs there are being met :).


Ted is now employed and working for Paladin security which is great.  Today is his first day of orientation but he does not have a schedule or idea of which area he will be working in  which I guess he will find out shortly.

Now we have to ask everyone to keep your fingers crossed for us as  Wednesday Ted has to do yet another phone hearing with our old landlord and all the crap she is dealing us.  AHHHHHHHH!!!!!  That lady is going to be the end of us!

Our cat continues to be as psychotic as ever, if not worse.  She now has taken to preventing Ted from getting to the couch on occasions and will outright attack him.  However, at times he has done something to her previously so I just consider it payback; but, sometimes it is uncalled for.

Hmmmmm.....I think that gives the update of things currently so I shall end this here.  I plan on revamping this thing and making it more exciting with other happenings but have not really got around to it yet.
