Yay! I'm so excited! She started kicking really hard at 12:30pm (yes, we were still in bed haha) I grabbed Jake's hand and put it on my belly. HE FELT HER!!! I couldn't be more happy <3
My belly moves quite a bit now when she kicks. I noticed the first big movements last night and I thought it was kind of funny. I love her so much.

24 weeks
Just when I thought I was getting better I got sick again. I'm not really sure with what though. I threw up first thing when I woke up yesterday morning and then 4 more times throught the day. I don't know if it was pregnancy related or if I had a short stint of the flu. I also had the worst pressure in my lower abdomen. I'm feeling much better today so thank God for that!
I'm not so much craving food as I'm craving juice and sprite (not together lol). I've craved juice more than anything throught my whole pregnancy so far. A new(er) craving I have is for popsicles. I'd eat them all day if I could. It's probably the fruit thing... I think that's all I've been craving so far this week.
The baby sits low in my belly alot. Most of the time I feel her kick/move right above my pubic bone. She does move around and kick other places but's it's painful sometimes when she's so low so it sticks out in my mind the most. Jake still hasn't felt her kick... He tries to feel it but she always stops when he puts his hand on my stomach. I know he really wants to feel her but I don't think he's giving it enough time. It will happen soon.
We are for sure (10000%) moving next week. I wish the leaser would have called us back and let us sign yesterday but that didn't happen. I'm pretty pissed about it but oh well, nothing I can do. Hopefully first thing Monday morning she will call. I feel like we have been calling her so much but she needs to get on this so we can move out! I'm anxious and excited to be off on my own with Jake. Plus, I'm sick of looking at the baby's clothes in bins! I want to hang them in her closet! Sometimes it feels so surreal that I'm a mom... wow...
We made my free 3d/4d ultrasound for next Saturday (the 28th). I'm so happy he is letting us come back to get pictures of her face for free. I hope she is good this time!!

I have been sick since Sunday, which sucks. I'm just now starting to feel better and kick the bug. I got a little nervous because I wasn't feeling the baby move like she did before I was sick so I went into the doctor yesterday to make sure she was fine. She of course was, with a heartbeat of 166. They pushed my next appointment with my OB back another 4 weeks since I saw the CNP yesterday. I'll be 28 weeks at that appointment. Time feels like it's flying right now.
Valentine's day was last Saturday and on my card from Jake (among my other presents from him <3) he wrote "Love, Jake and Audrey!" I thought that was adorable that he thought of her too. She also got a 1st Valentine's Day card from my parents with $2 in it. I thought that was cute. We'll have to get her a piggy bank now!
We are still waiting to sign the lease. The last of the paperwork got done today so now it's a waiting game to hear back from the leaser. I wish she would hurry up, I would have loved to be in there by this weekend.
Everything else is going great, still can't wait to meet you little girl!

22 weeks
22 weeks already! I feel like time is flying right now. Everything is going into place. Jake and I will be moving soon so we're really excited for that. I wanna get the move over with before I feel too exhausted to do any of the unpacking. We should hear back if we got the apartment or not today or tomorrow... fingers crossed.
We still have to decide on what furniture we want for the nursery. My parents are gifting it to us but I can't decide between white and cherry finish. Maybe I'll pick the bedding first, I have no idea. I do know that I want a sleigh crib and we will have a dresser/changer combo with a hutch. Maybe another 4 drawer dresser too, I'm not sure yet. Making the nursery is going to be one of my favorite parts of getting ready for her. I can't wait.
We don't go back to see my OB until March 9th. I'm supposed to go every 4 weeks but she won't be there 4 weeks from my last appointment so they stretched it out a little longer. I'll be 26 weeks. It seems like so far away. Oh well I guess...
She has been moving around alot. I don't think she likes when I set my laptop on my belly. It feels like she's doing karate in there every time I do haha. I'm starting to feel big. Things that were easy for me to do pre pregnancy are getting harder and taking more energy out of me. I haven't been sick at all which is nice. I think being winded alot and having no energy are my only symptoms this week.
I think that's about it for now. I can't wait to meet you little girl <3

Level II ultrasound
Since I had an irregular screening for trisomy 18 and 13 we had to get another level II ultrasound with the geneticist today. We weren't that worrid about anything being wrong this time because we were put at a less than 1% chance at our 16 week level II. We went in and the tech measured what felt like every bone in her body. It was a little drawn out because I was getting really uncomfortable and we weren't seeing the cute traditional ultrasound pictures, it was zoomed in on her head, heart, bones, etc. The doctor was really nice today. At my 16 week ultrasound with her she was pretty uptight and stern. When she came in she was trying to get the baby to move by pressing the wand into my belly. The baby ended up kicking herself in the arm, which was cute. We got some pictures of her and were told that she weighs a pound now! She's breeched but that's not a problem since I'm not close to my due date yet. I'm sure she moves around alot. I'm surprised she wasn't head down like she always is. Anyway, everything looked great with her. Thank God!
I had an appointment with my OBs CNP after that. All went well. The baby's heartbeat went from 153 at the ultrasound to 155 with the dopler so that's good. She told me that I should gain between 25 and 30 pounds! I wanted to die. That seems like so much weight. I would do anything for my daughter so it's of course worth it but I'm not looking forward to it.

21 weeks
I didn't update last week! Oh well. Anyway I'm 21 weeks & 3 days pregnant today :)
Last week we went for our first 4d ultrasound to find out the sex. We actually already knew what it was but I wanted confirmation because my doctors office told me that their "guess" was that it's a girl at my 16 week, level II ultrasound (I'll explain later) and I didn't want to wait until Feb. 4th to make sure. Not to mention Jake kept saying "it's a guy" to be funny and I was reading about people who were told it was one gender at their ultrasounds and it came out the opposite. Anyway, it was really exciting. I went in thinking she will show us her little face and I'll get cute pictures of her... I was wrong. She didn't want to cooperate at all! She was head down and when I moved in weird positions to get her to move she just rolled with me. Needless to say her gender was all we got out of it. It was kind of disappointing but we got alot of free stuff and he told us to come back in a few weeks for a free ultrasound so we can get pictures of her face! I already have a 28 week 4d scheduled so it was really cool that he offered us another one to see her earlier.
We stayed the weekend instead of coming back Saturday and did alot of shopping. Our little girl made a haul, mostly things from Babies R Us and Nordstrom. We talked about my baby registery. I really want to register at Babies R Us and Pottery Barn Kids but we don't have either of those stores in Duluth. We decided we're going to register at Babies R Us anyway (since I have family that has that store where they live, including Jakes family) and Target. It's easier to pick up the things we want from Pottery Barn Kids on our own so that's what we are going to do.
I got a book called Nursery Style. I'm going to start paging through it since we (more like I) decided she's going to have a decked out nursery. Jake of course agreed to do the painting and help out with whatever I need him to do. I'm really excited to start picking her nursery theme. I feel like I'm so behind. We have so much to do, including move before she gets here. I'm starting to feel stressed.
Everything has been really good with me symptom wise. I'm feeling great and I'm getting so excited to meet her in person!
