My Life as a Baby Oven: Little Rumblings

I thought I was through the sickness when I wrote my last preggo post, and then I started feeling sick again. If you catch me out and about, or at home I usually am wearing sea bands-for motion sickness/morning sickness, and chewing ginger gum to also help ease the nausea. Bit by bit it is getting better, after a bout with a smoothie one fine morning, other than that I have been able to keep everything down and even feel good about most of it. I may just wear my trusty Sea bands for the rest of my life just because they helped me feel better, kind of as a homage or something.

Because so many women recommended it, I bought myself  a Snoogie, aka 'the worm' it is a pregnant lady's dream, a body pillow designed with us in mind. Love it.

A great development is that I have finally started gaining some weight 3 lbs over my pre-preggo weight to be exact.  Weight gain is good, very good when you are growing a real-live-baby inside you. And it is also good because it means I would feel comfortable running again, I just didn't feel right about using my energy to run when my body really needed it. Now I can hit the road-I have set out my clothes for the morning and I can't wait to go for a trot.

What I am most excited about is that I have felt the little babe moving around since the last post. I enjoy these little rumblings so much! I have thought I was feeling it for a while, but was very sure when I felt the little one and then looked down at my belly to SEE the baby moving. I generally second guess myself on the movement in the beginning but as of last week there is absolutely no doubt at all. Quickening is one of my favourite pregnancy perks, it makes this whole thing so much more real.

In just under 3 weeks The Husband and I will go in for my ultrasound and we will get to see our little one and check out the development and also find out if the little one is a boy or a girl. We shall see. I have no inclination, and I go back on forth on which I would prefer, so whichever is just fine by me. There are some bets going though and we will see who wins those.

Wanna place your bet? Boy? Girl? What do you say?
