Weeks 14 & 15

Today I'm officially 15 weeks pregnant (starting my 16th week).

Baby is the size of a Naval Orange! HOLY CRAP!

Now I see what they mean when they say pregnancy goes by fast.

My first 12 weeks felt like they took forever! After that the times are flying by and I'm physically changing every day before my eyes.

As far as week 14 goes. It was pretty awesome I felt almost normal just a little tired I was also super duper hungry. Then I started to develop a really bizarre ear/face ache. I called my dr. and she instructed me to go straight to the emergency room. So that's how I spent last Saturday... Stuck in the ER for hours I got a lot of good reading in but it really wasn't worth the money. The "Dr" in the ER was kind of a jerk and ordered a CAT scan as he just had a patient die from a bone infection and thought I must have that too.... I feel like this was completely unnecessary especially when he hadn't even properly examined me or run any other tests... After that and more hours of sitting around trying not to be forced into taking Vicodin by every nurse around. I got the news I was being released but they wanted to check for a heart beat before they let me go. I was excited of of course because I love hearing that sound. But the nurse was completely incompetant and literally had no clue what she was doing with the Doppler. I asked her twice if I could try it because I had at least seen my Dr do it before. She refused and it took her like 10 minutes to find it. With my mind at ease about that she said the Dr had to talk to me before a I left. I waited for 40 min then realized my nurse and Dr were discussing their personal lives instead of letting me go home. I got my stuff together and waited in my door way staring at them until they noticed me. The look on their faces was the best part of my experience. He told me 5 possiblities of what my pain and swelling could be caused by... None of which were the actual cause.

So I went home in pain and finally Saturday night I gave in a took a few tylenol because I could not stop crying form the pain.

Sunday I experienced my first Mother's day and it was wonderful. We spent it with Nick's mom and sisters bbq and watching the kids play. It was fantastic everyone gave me nice gifts to make me feel special. My favorite was Nick's. He got me a baby memory book and a card from the baby :)

On Monday my awesome friend Lisa got me in to see the ENT where she works. He immediately diagnosed me and confirmed that the ER "Dr" was a quack. I had an outer ear infection of the eardrum and canal which is the most painful. Lucy also had a rough day as she had her dental scaling that day, we spent the majority of the evening laying around feeling poopy together. 

The rest of this week I've been growing what feels like a lot. My stomach is rounding out more and I love it. My cravings this week haven't been too bad everyday I want fruit, soups and salads... And pizza once...
I've also finally put on some weight :) I'm up 2.8 lbs! It feels like right to my tummy and possibly my boobs. Lord help me if those things keep getting bigger.


Oh I also think I felt the baby move for the first time last Saturday since I've felt it twice since. That super exciting and I can't wait until they're more definitive and Nick can feel them.

We are shopping for cribs right now. Any advice would be helpful we are completely stumped. I think Nick and I want completely different styles. Ugh.
