A Weekend in Bend (Week 17)

Let's start with baby update!

Baby Update:
Last week was probably the roughest I had during this entire pregnancy. On Wednesday I started not feeling well about mid morning, by 3pm, I was leaving work with a fever. Two hours later, I had a bad sore throat. The next morning I woke up with a swollen throat (I couldn’t even eat!) and still had a fever. Brad took me to the doctor and thankful to hear that I didn’t have strep throat! I got some medicine and spent the next two days resting and getting better.

Being sick and pregnant was not fun to go through. I was worried a lot about the baby because I wasn’t eating as much as I should, but the doctor assured me that the baby is perfectly fine and not affected from my illness. Brad, as always, was super great with taking care of me, running to the store, getting my medicine, all while painting and fixing up our condo last week! Thank you my sweet! :)

Other than being sick, things have been going well! My appetite is somewhat improving. I'm trying my best to incorporate protein into my diet.

The baby bump has made an appearance!!! YAY!! I’ve gotten a few requests for pictures, so I’ll start posting pictures of the belly. It will be fun to see the belly grow as time passes!

We have our third doctor’s appt next Monday and our fetal anatomy ultra sound next Tuesday. This is the ultra sound where measurements are taken to make sure baby is growing appropriately. They’ll make sure that all the organs and umbilical cord are developing normally, and the amniotic fluid levels, the location of the placenta and the fetal heart rate are all normal.

We’ll post pictures of little nugget once we get them!

This past weekend we headed to Bend with a group of friends to celebrate Sam’s 30th Birthday! We had a good time just hanging out, enjoying the snow and eating yummy food! Here are a few pictures from the weekend!

Happy 30th Sam!
