I Feel Good

Finally, I feel good. Physical Therapy really seems to be helping. And to be honest, I love it. I show up first thing in the morning, lay on a table on my side, and a very nice lady gives my lower back and hip area a very nice (yet intense) massage. She works out my knots as she manipulates my hips back to a "normal" position. After 30 minutes of this, she wraps me in a huge heating pad and I drift off to sleep for about 10 minutes. And the best part - insurance pays for it! It's completely legitimate. I have very simple exercises to do at home, and I have been pretty faithful at doing them. I really want to get better, and if these exercises mean I will have a painless (or at least not excruciating) pregnancy..WooHoo!

I'm late posting this week because I was off baby shopping all day Saturday, then watching the LSU Tigers beat the Florida Gators. Sunday I slept all day, I think the baby must be going through a growth spurt. Baby Shopping was fun. I picked out the stroller that I want, but the color choices are ehhh. I saw the 08' colors and I'm going to wait until they come out to get the stroller - MUCH cuter colors. I also caved a bought the cutest little girl dress! I couldn't NOT buy it. And even if it is a baby boy, my sister-in-law Heather is due about a month before me and she is having a little girl, so someone IS going to get to wear this fabulous little dress.

As of today I am 15 weeks, 2 day pregnant. The baby is the size of a naval orange (the sizes go length). I have gained all of 3 lbs, and I have gone up 2 solid pants sizes! I'm officially in maternity clothes, and even though no one else seems to be able to tell that I have a belly, I DO have a belly. In about a month I should know if we will be having a baby girl or a baby boy. At my last doctors appointment I almost begged him to do an ultrasound just to see....as you can tell I was unsuccessful. I did get to listen to the heartbeat again, which was strong at 155 bmp.
