Counting the Days Until November 11th!

So we had our first appointment with our new Indianapolis doctor this past Wednesday, and it went really well. I really like our doctor, everyone in the office is really nice and friendly, and her office is connected to the women's hospital which is only about 20 mins away from our apartment. I really really like our doctor so far. She is friendly, talkative, and really funny. She never made me feel rushed and talked me through all my questions, which I really appreciated.

The most exciting part of the appointment was we got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time! Our doctor in Pittsburgh did a Stage I ultrasound at each of my appointments, so we had seen the heartbeat on the screen, but hadn't heard it yet. It made me really happy to know that our little one is doing just fine in there. I can't wait to feel him/her move!!

We scheduled our ultrasound for November 11th, and I can't wait to see our little nug!! We are also hoping that baby will cooperate and show us if we will be expecting a boy or a girl! Korey is DYING to know, so I really hope we are able to find out!

As far as pregnancy goes, it depends on the day if I feel sick or not. Sometimes I get sick in the morning, but most days I'm usually okay. I've also been getting afternoon headaches pretty regularly, which isn't fun, but I'm starting to get used to it actually. Mostly I have to make sure I keep snacks on hand and keep my blood sugar up or else I start to feel crummy and I start to get really cranky. Korey has definitely learned to keep me well fed! Unfortunately I've been craving pop hard core lately - which I know isn't good because of all the caffeine (not to mention calories), but I try to keep it down to one per day, and since I've quit drinking coffee I don't think I'm doing too bad.

I'm really having a hard time with my clothes lately though. I am so inbetween - most of the maternity clothes I have are too big, but all of my regular clothes are too small, and I can't ever find anything that looks good. I feel like I wear the same three outfits all the time! I'm finally getting to the point though where I think I'm actually beginning to look pregnant instead of looking like I'm just gaining a bunch of weight, so that makes me feel a little better. And I had a great find at Goodwill yesterday - a pair of Liz Lange for Target maternity jeans in my size still with the tags on!! And they fit great!

I need to take another baby bump picture!! I know I will later regret not taking a picture and writing a little blurb every week, but the weeks go by way too fast! Hopefully now that we are a little more settled and (finally!!) have internet in our new apartment, I will be able to keep up with that a little better. :)

Overdue Update!

I suck at updating. But life is going by SO freakin fast lately!!

We just made the move from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis a couple weeks ago because my husband got a promotion with his job that came with a move. Luckily we have family and friends in and around Indy, and we graduated college close by so we are familiar with the area. We are actually staying with my in-laws for the time being until we can move into our apartment this week (so excited!!).

I meant to update a long time ago, but job searching and looking for a new ob/gyn has pretty much taken up ALL my time! Luckily, I did land a part-time admin job at my alma-mater, which I’m super excited about. I’ll be looking for other part time things to fill in my time, but I think it will be great to work part time and stay home part time once the baby is born. And I think we can swing it, so I’m looking forward to that. :)

I haven’t found a new doctor yet, but I’m getting anxious because I need to make an appointment so that we can find out if it’s a boy or girl!! We are about due to know in 2 weeks I think, so I’m really looking forward to that!!

And I’m finally starting to show! Well, I at least like to think that I’m finally starting to look actually pregnant instead of just like I’m gaining weight. :)



15 weeks & my first pair of maternity jeans (from Goodwill - I’m telling you that is the BEST place to buy maternity clothes!!)

I think I’ve probably gained a little too much weight a little too fast so far. I haven’t weighed my self since we moved, so I’m not sure exactly how much. But all I want to eat is CARBS all the time, so that’s really not helping. I try to keep reminding myself that every women’s body is different and handles pregnancy differently, and it really doesn’t matter how much weight I gain as long as our little one is healthy!!
