Laying around

Went to the doctor today for my normal appointment. It was a good thing because the past couple of days haven't been feeling too good. I know the whole ligament stretching thing going on but this was way more then muscles stretching. I could barley get out of bed this morning I hurt so bad. I've also been kind of worried that I haven't really felt this little one moving or kicking. Chase and Skylar both made themselves known long before the 16th week.
So, it takes me a while to get to the doctors appointment I was so slow getting ready. Turns out it's not just a ligament stretching but a pulled ligament not to mention the baby has taken up residency on my top of this ligament! Oh yeah, and I might have a bladder infection. We'll know Friday.
This pregnancy has been nothing like my other two, NOTHING!
My next appointment is June 3rd, the "sex" ultra sound!! Vicki thinks it a girl because only girls are as cooperative as this kid is. But in the last ultra sound the cord was between it's legs and no matter what Mandy did to get it to move it wouldn't. So who knows.
I just know I'm in pain and apparently am not drinking enough water, ewwwwww. I hate water, it has no taste.
Well, keep me in your thoughts. I hope this passes. It's worse than the morning sickness.

Saturday will be 16 weeks

Saturday will be 16 weeks.

At 4 1/2 inches long (head to bottom) and 3 1/2 ounces, baby is about the size of an avocado. In the next three weeks, she/he'll go through a tremendous growth spurt, though, doubling her/his weight and adding inches to her length. Her/his lower limbs are much more developed now. Her/his head is more erect than it has been, and her/his eyes have moved toward the front of her/his head. Our baby's ears are close to their final position, too. Some of her/his more advanced body systems are working, including her/his circulatory system and urinary tract. Her/his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, circulating her/his total blood volume through her/his body many times. (By the end of your pregnancy, this will increase to about 190 quarts.) The patterning of her/his scalp has begun, though her/his hair isn't recognizable yet. Although closed, her/his eyes are moving (slowly), and she/he's even started growing toenails.
