Preggo Update

I have been bad about mentioning the fact that I am pregnant on this blog, but the boys do keep us busy, busy, busy.

A quick post devoted to an update...

• I am 16 weeks + 5 days
• My nausea is basically gone... I have bragged in the past and it has returned, so I am being cautious this time!
• My energy level is better, but I have not started exercising again. :-(
  
• I am + 4 pounds so far, but that is only because I lost 3 in the 1st trimester. I have been eating "Halloween" candy like it's my lunch, so we'll see what the next weigh-in holds!
  
• I can feel the baby move all the time now, which is SO great! It's funny, but that never gets less exciting - at this stage! When the baby has his/her foot stuck under my ribs, I'll be a little less excited. :-)
  
• My gall bladder pain has not started, yet! I am pretty excited that I have made it this far without it, though I know it's coming!
  
• Our ultrasound is scheduled for October 14. On the advice of my sister-in-law, I will be drinking a latte before it to ensure our little peanut does not curl up in a ball and sleep again!
  
• Aidan has stopped screaming at us when we explain to him that it could be a brother, but he still thinks it's a little sister. He told me today, "I haven't had a little sister in a long time!" :-)
  
• Jared felt the baby move for the first time tonight.  He decided to see if he could feel the baby, and he put his hand on my belly.  The baby immediately kicked (Daddy's girl or boy already!), and Jared got to feel it.    

I guess that's about it. Jared and I are extremely disappointed in ourselves that we did not take a belly picture the first trimester. We WILL take one this week AND post it!
