How Far along: 17 weeks
Total weight gain: I don't know, but I am guessing around 3 pounds. My next appointment is not until April 12th.
Maternity clothes: On occasion. I can still fit a couple pairs of my pre-pregnancy pants, but that won't last too much longer. Plus, I can still wear my big sweaters since it hasn't warmed up too much yet.
Sleep: Not the best. I toss and turn due to sciatica, and my few trips to the bathroom during the night.
Best Moment this week: This week and every week is listening to my baby's heartbeat with my Doppler! Such a wonderful sound!
Movement: Not that I can tell. I thought on a few occasions that I might have felt something, but it could have been gas or spasms in my tummy.
Gender: I find out April 12th, but I have a feeling it is a boy.
Labor signs: None
Belly button: It is being stretched so it is in between.
Cravings: Popeye's Chicken Spicy! I can eat that everyday if given the chance!
What I miss: My wonderful metabolism. I hate being gassy all the time.
Stretch Marks: No new ones.
What I am looking forward to this week: Hopefully to feel the baby, and know for sure. Other than that, I have nothing. Looking forward to the 12th.
ETA: Sorry for no pic. Our computer is dead. I hope to add one soon.

It's been a long time coming
Yes, I know. It has been a long time since I have updated. I am a very bad blogger. There is so much news to report, but I think I will give the short version. As you know from past blogs, B and I lost our third pregnancy back in April '09. We took a short break from trying and decided to give it a go again back in August.
We got a positive test a week before Christmas. Dr. S put me on Prometrium 200mg 2x/day as well as baby aspirin. Had my first appointment on January 11th. Everything looked great! Measured 6 weeks, 4 days. Dr. S saw me every week until I reached 10 weeks, and baby was growing perfectly.
Of course it wouldn't be me if I didn't have a bleeding/spotting scare. I started spotting around 8.5 weeks, and it lasted to about 10.5 weeks. I would only spot or bleed at night, and it would last for no more than an hour. Dr. S thought it was the Progesterone, and the nurse thought it was from the developing placenta. Either way, the spotting/bleeding stopped after two weeks.
As of today I am 14 weeks, 5 days. The furthest I have been with any of my previous pregnancies! Dr. S is comfortable with seeing me at the regular intervals now. I listen to my little one's heartbeat every night(I rented a Doppler from www.babybeat.com)! My next appointment is on Monday. I am still walking on eggshells after three losses, but I am starting to relax just a tad. I even bought a few pairs of maternity pants!
Now that I have gotten all the secrets off my chest, I hope to keep this blog updated with all the new and exciting adventures of pregnancy. Keep praying that all goes well.
