I was reading another woman's blog, which has been basically her pregnancy journal, and realized I've really been neglecting sharing the experience for those of you who are tuning in :) I've wondered if it's a little strange that I am reading her blog... this woman is some complete stranger in Texas, but for whatever reason I really enjoy reading her musings and following along with her pregnancy (she is actually due any day, but I often go back and see what was happening at my current stage). Is that weird?
As for me, I am about 4 months now and am finally starting to feel better! I was having a maybe 50/50 ratio of good days to bad days for the last few weeks and I couldn't decide whether the bad days were that much worse or whether the contrast of a good day to a bad just made it terrible - teasing me! However, this week has had a much higher ratio of good times and lets just say that in comparison to the last two months... I feel like a new woman! Hooray! I even worked out yesterday for the first time in a long time and mmmaaaaan, did it feel good.
Of course, I've still got other lingering things (and I'm sure new things looming in the near future) like the fact that the sleep I've been getting at night has been less than optimal (I realize that this is just the beginning of many, many years of such problem) and my coccyx is still killing me! Thats right, I'm suffering from a sore tailbone. After about a month of experiencing the pain without being able to connect it to any event, I asked our Doctor and she wasn't fazed at all - "oh yeah, the baby is probably sitting on that". She didn't say it'd probably go away... she left it at this open ended "oh well... not like we can do anything about it". Ha! In spite of how painful it can be at times, I refuse to buy a donut.
All in all, things are shaping up - and I mean shaping up, I am getting a belly! Well, I guess at this point its more like my guts are being shoved up in my belly. One of the most common pieces of advice I've received has been to take pictures of myself during the pregnancy... so I better get my act together and start doing it! Here is the first picture (sad that I waited this long!)...
16 Weeks...

thanks for the update Jordyn - sorry about the sore tail bone, I don't know if I've ever heard that one before! Glad to hear that you are having more and more 'good' days'! Love ya
glad things are going better, jordyn. it makes things so much more fun!
First off, I think you're having a girl. I've started to believe that the sicker you've been in pregnancy, the more likely it is you're having a girl.
In other news, you can maybe just get the donut pillow and call it an investment in case you have an episiotomy. I sat on nothing else for like a week after Caleb was born. You do what you've gotta do! I'm happy you're feeling better!
I am so glad you are writing pregnancy updates :) You will be so happy you did that when this is all over. Also, yes I would love to see pics of your growing belly. I have taken a lot this pregnancy, but not enough and the sooner you start the more fun it will be to look back and see the changes. Try to take one a week...I am serious...it is so cool. :) Anyways, I am glad you are starting to feel a little better...it will be much more enjoyable once that is done. Hang in there. I am so excited for you.
Yay for prego updates! I like to read these. :)
