Rollercoaster Ride

So, once again, a lot has happened since my last update...I am feeling better, or was feeling better. See, Kevin has this thing about taking pills, and one of the "no more puking" strategies I have is to take a combo of unisom + B6 every night. We saw our midwife yesterday and she said it was fine to keep taking it, but Kevin insists on trying to wean me off of it. So last night I took half pills, instead of whole pills, and I feel yucky today.

On that note, I have been doing better lately! Those daily tasks such as showering, brushing your teeth, actually getting dressed, and EATING are all happening. It's so nice to eat. I've actually gained back the 10lbs. I lost during morning sickness including 2 post pregnancy pounds; Right on schedule!

We had our first group prenatal appointment last night and it was great! You take your own weight and blood pressure, then have one on one time with the midwife, there is a topic we talk about, ask questions, and really dialogue about our experiences. It was soooo nice. All the other couples are expecting their first child also, except for one! We not only heard our baby's heartbeat last night, but we could hear the baby MOVING! It was too exciting! We are officially 16 weeks 3 days in to this adventure.

This weekend was really wonderful because it was the first time I had seen a lot of my extended family since finding out we were pregnant! They were very excited and supportive. Also, Kev's mom took our first picture since I've started showing, so I'm hoping she'll post that soon on her own blog!

And finally, I did do just a little registering for the baby, so if you're interested, here's the site and you can find our list under Kevin or Mindy Harkins. The rest of our registry will be through Target here in a couple of weeks (after we *hopefully* find out if it's a boy or girl). We'll be in Phoenix just about every weekend from here through Easter at least, so give us a call or drop us a line if you'd like to get together!
