I'm back!

I just picked up my computer yesterday and the virus is gone! I'm back! Just to update you I'm 16 weeks along. That's 4 months! I can't believe it. I'm also happy to report that I think I finally got my body back, with a few new additions. I finally have a nice rack I'd be proud to go to a topless beach with. However, along with my new ladies come a bloated, is she fat or is she pregnant, stomach. So, I'm sad to say, no French Riviera for me. My bodily functions have seem to calm down and have gone to a place I'm comfortable with. I'm finally saying goodbye to heartburn, constipation, and gas, I'm a lady again! I do have a new symptom to share, sinus congestion. When you're preggo, your hormones caused increased blood flow and your mucus membranes to swell. So my nose has that dry swollen feel and bleeds when I blow my nose too hard. But other than that, all is well.

About a month ago, we did have a little excited, or scare is a better word. Just when I thought I would have 10, period free, months, my worst nightmare happened, I went to the bathroom and saw that I was bleeding, not spotting. They squeezed me in at my doctors office 4 hours later. 4 HOURS!! Those were the longest 4 hours of my life. All I could think was, "this is it, this is how a miscarriage starts." Well, thank goodness, it turns out I was wrong. Apparently, the placenta is located in the wrong spot, covering the cervix. So what was happening is the placenta was moving back to where it should be, thus the bleeding. The baby is alive and well. However, I was put on bed rest for 2 days, just to be sure I wouldn't aggravate anything. But now everything is peachy and trust me, I know. I bought my own personal fetal heart Doppler so I can listen to the heartbeat when ever I want to. I guess you could say those hypochondriac tendencies of my are creeping back to the surface.

I do have a bit of bad news to report-I have gained 7lbs. I'm 2-3lbs over my weight budget for this point in my pregnancy....and I'm scared. I really don't know whats happening...well, I kinda do. I haven't been to the gym in about 3 weeks and I've been eating a bit like a pig. But don't worry, this has been a wake up call for me and I'll reign it back in...starting Monday!

I have a new, 16 week belly sight:
                                                                         11 weeks

                                                                       16 weeks

There is a difference between those pictures, I promise. Btw, a few weeks ago I said I thought I felt the baby move....well it was gas. I hate my life! :)
