Pregnancy!

I can't believe Ill be 15 weeks pregnant on Easter Sunday! This pregnancy is going so quickly and pretty well I must say. I think it is safe to say Im through all the nausea now which is very nice. I never actually threw up this time around but I still got tired of feeling sick everyday. I still cannot eat spaghetti and if you know me you are in shock. That is my ablsolute favorite meal and could possibly eat it everyday and have come close to that when working at Fazoli's and Wheeler Mission! It makes me sad! I tried the other day to have some and almost threw up while eating it! I dont understand it! I sure hope this aversion goes away soon because I dont think my family can go that long without it! haha! There are some other things I can't even look at but they aren't as upsetting to me. One thing I can't get enough of is sour cream! Im always trying to think of meals that go with sour cream! You wonder why Scott finds me so strange! The migraines are also still doing well. I had a really bad one on Palm Sunday but have done well since. We hope I continue to do well so that I dont have to increase my medicine. I finally say the OB this last week. We were able to talk to the dr about my previous complications, my migraine medicine, and we had our first ultrasound. The little one was laying with its one hand behind the back of it's head, it's feet crossed, and waving it's other hand! It was really cute! We were informed that we will get to see our little one every 4-6 weeks because of the migraine medicine Im on. I wasnt too sad about that! But apparently the medicine Im on especially when increased (which is very normal as the body becomes used to it) can cause low blood pressure for me and more importantly the baby. So we have to keep an eye on it. The dr said he has never actually seen it happen but it is a risk. He also said I may have to recieve one shot a week to help prevent preterm labor. Scott and I are not sure we want to do this bc there is a good chance this pregnancy could be completely normal. So we are talking about it and will talk to the dr more the next visit regarding this.
Ryan is very excited about having a baby soon. She always sticks out her belly and says her baby is growing real well so it can come out soon. She also informs me that her baby makes her belly hurt sometimes and that she will be having a girl, but mommy will be having a boy. I hope she is right! It is really funny the things she says sometimes! This week she asked if she could take the baby toys from the Dr office for the new baby. She is a good sister!
Hopefully this 2nd trimester will continue to go well! Im already much fatter at this point than normal. I grew out of all my pants several weeks ago! Owell Ill just loose it all when I nurse again!
