Well we are at 18 weeks and still doing ok. Tired and achy alot still because of the expansion and baby growth. We go back to the dr on Monday for another ultrasound and hopefully will have info on the gender then. Be assured it will be posted here and I have a long email list waiting to send out to people so everyone gets the info.
I thought from here on out I would include some info on where the pros say we are at this point.
How your baby's growing: Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

Insane Saturday
Saturday was a crazy day for Scott and I! If it was going to go wrong it did!
To give you some background recently we discovered that our guest toilet was running constantly and spiking our water bill so throughout the week, I had gradually changed all the parts inside the tank except one.
Sunday morning we get up and decide to go to get the last part and see if it would fix our problem. So I make breakfast and while reaching for a glass, I drop it and it shatters on the floor. I have to fight the cats to keep them out of it but finally get it cleaned up. However, while eating breakfast I discover my big toe is bleeding because I got some glass in it. So I have to do the bandaid thing and finally get breakfast finished.
I then take a nap which you will find later was needed.
We then go to Ace and pick up the final part. The reason we have not changed this part before is because it requires the removal of the tank from the bowl. So we set about doing that and replace the part. We put everything back together and start running water in only to discover that the tank is now cracked because we put things back to tight. So now we have a bigger problem requiring the replacement of the tank.
We have lunch. After lunch, Scott takes his drink into his computer room to look up some tank info and proceeds to spill his entire drink on his expensive MAC keyboard. Needless, to say I left him alone to clean that up and went to research on my laptop.
After he got the entire thing opened up to air out we decided to go to Lowe's to get a tank and stop at Staple's to get another keyboard just in case the old one is ruined.
We get all of this done and come back to install the new tank and of course, it does not fit. Too small!
So we pack it up and research some more and find one that has almost the exact dimensions of our previous one (keep in mind this was a builder grade toilet that you can not find anywhere).
We head back to Lowe's and return the small tank and get the new one along with a water hose that will be more flexible. We pick up Arby's on the way and get some very large drinks (it is hot and they had a summer special on 44 oz drinks).
We get back to the house and I put the food and drinks on our kitchen table to help Scott get the new tank in and Sebastian (our precocious cat) knocks both drinks onto the floor. So now we have about 88 oz of Dr Pepper all over our kitchen floor. So here we go cleaning the floor for the 2nd time that day (I do not clean floors more than once a week so this is annoying.) The floor is still sticky after 3 mopping sessions.
We take the 2nd tank to the bath and again it does not fit. It appears they have to be of the same brand and it still may not work.
At this point, we gave up. Scott decided to take a shower and I told him to be careful as who knows what else could happen. Luckily, the day finally ended. We are taking back the 2nd tank today and getting a whole new unit and letting them install it. We are done! But hey we have all these nice new parts for the bath upstairs if there is a problem there.
Luckily, no baby yet having to deal with this too!

16 Weeks
Feeling better! Thank all the supreme beings! Still tired some but with daily Zyrtec for the allergies and Zone protein bars (dr recommended) I am starting to like food again. I went to the dr on Monday and I had lost another 2 pounds. I have lost more weight being pregnant than I ever could before. I don't however, recommend this as a diet option.
We will do the next ultrasound on July 3rd where we hope to find out whether it will be AJ or Erynn. We will be happy either way but I am still feeling boy for some reason. Chris says it is a girl (those of you who know Chris know he is pretty accurate on this kind of thing). But all of the old wife's tales say different things so who knows.
Just had a fudge cake and am ready for some sherbert so bring on the food!

15 Weeks
15 weeks today and we are still in the at least one symptom a day routine. The fun is never knowing before hand what that symptom will be. And yes folks, there are still days where we are nauseous and days where we loose a meal. Hopefully this means that the baby is doing super and mommy is the only one with the sick feelings. We go back to the doctor on Monday and we may find out whether we will have boy or girl. Of course, if we get the news I will post on the blog so you will all know. The names are pretty well decided so we will give you the whole shabang! However, it is a little early so it may be another month before we know for sure.
