One of my sides hurts. It seriously feels like my skin is being pulled in several directions.
And since we're on this topic, I should take the time to update about my pregnancy.
I'm at approx 17 weeks (The counter up top is about 2-3 days behind, I think). I am freekin' HUGE for 17 weeks!
I heard the heart beat for the first time this past Wednesday. The baby also kicked while I was listening.
The midwife says I'm not big enough to be carrying twins, which I was REALLY hoping for! (more kids, less pregnancies!)
I've been feeling the baby move for a little over a week now.
I have an ultrasound scheduled for late August, at 20 weeks aprox. The first ultrasound is usually scheduled anywhere from the 18 week onwards, but because I told my midwife I want to find out the sex this time, she scheduled it further along to increase the chance of being able to tell.
I haven't been sick at all for quite a while, but I've been getting pretty bad headaches and the odd dizzy spell. And I'm really lazy!
And on that note, I have dishes to do, and a bed to crawl into!
Oh, and a couple of you have taken the time to mention or notice a lack of stretch marks. Well, I haven't got any this pregnancy yet, but there are lots from my last pregnancy. There are only a few around my belly button, and most of them are quite faded. I got all the bad ones on my back, butt and thighs! I probably won't ever wear a bikini bottom again. It's shorts for me all the way! So, if that makes you feel any better, than good.. and if you really want to see a picture of me in all my stretch mark glory, then too bad!

I'm so glad you're going to find out the sex of the baby. I did, too, with my second -- but wanted to be surprised with my first. It wasn't much of a surprise, though -- I knew I'd have only boys. If I kept having babies they'd only be boys. I could have had 12 boys by now! :)
PS I only got stretch marks in my first pregnancy so you might get lucky. I got really lucky -- only a few on my hips.
Palmers Cocoa Butter works wonders. I didn't get any stretch marks. Since then a few have threatened to develop, which I have combatted by eating ever increasing portions and steradily putting on weight to avoid them appearing puckered.
I'm glad you are feeling better. Since I have not had any kids I have no advice, umm, well, my sister did use cocoa butter on her stretch marks and said that it really kept them at bay.
I know all my kids advice is from my sister and her kids:o)
TWINS?!?!
That'd be so cool.
I've been using a mango butter with some cocoa and shea butter in it. It's really nice!
And yeah, twins would be cool, but it ain't gonna happen, I don't think.
