New Look
I was getting so sick of my hair. It was getting way to long and I couldn't do anything with it anymore. 95% of the time it was in a ponytail. So, yesterday I had it all chopped off. I was worried that I would regret cutting it this short but so far I love it.
18 weeks - Our little yam!
Baby Peacock is now the size of a sweet potato! Approx. 5 1/2" long and weighing in at a whopping 7 ounces.
Updates:
*I have felt a few flutters here and there but not any major movement yet. Hopefully that will be coming soon.
*I have lost my appetite for the most part. I get hungry every few hours but never in the mood for anything. Jalapenos have been about my only craving and it's been sporadic. Meat is pretty iffy with me lately. Some days I can eat certain meats and other days all I want is vegetables. I also can't eat as much at one time as I used to. Hooray for less weight gain!! I could throw down a 12" sub from Subway in a heartbeat before I got pregnant. Now it takes effort to eat a 6". But I get a 12" anyways because a few hours later I can finish it. ;)
*I am only 2.5 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight.
*The heartburn is finally under control. There for a while I thought my insides were going to burn up before the baby came. Marzbani put me on Zantac and I have only had a few episodes since.
*I still have lower abdominal cramps but the Dr. assured me its just because I am growing and stretching. It mainly only bothers me when I move to fast, stretch, or cough.
We are almost halfway there and I get more and more excited everyday. I am also a little overwhelmed because we still have so much stuff to do to get ready for Baby.
After tomorrow I will really be able to start planning and get a lot done because we will know if we need PINK or BLUE!
Things to do in the next few weeks:
Put down new tile in kitchen
Buy crib
Buy more maternity clothes (i am growing out of my pre-pregnancy clothes quickly)
Register for Baby items at Target
Get Season 4 of Weeds and watch before baby arrives - Very Important!
Most Important - Spend some quality time with my wonderful hubby while it's just us!
Tomorrow night I will post pics of our little yam and some belly pics too.

17 Weeks
Every week I get an update on Baby Peacock from babycenter.com and thebump.com. I love Wednesday's because of these e-mails. Below is this weeks update from Baby Center.
Baby Peacock is now the size of an onion. I love the food comparisons.
We have our mid-pregnancy ultrasound next Thursday at 4pm. As long as the little one cooperates we should find out if we are having a boy or girl and I can stop saying "it". I will also have some pictures to show!

How your baby's growing:
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
How your life's changing:
Starting to feel a bit off balance? As your belly grows, your center of gravity changes, so you may begin to occasionally feel a little unsteady on your feet. Try to avoid situations with a high risk of falling. Wear low-heeled shoes to reduce your risk of taking a tumble; trauma to your abdomen could be dangerous for you and your baby. You'll also want to be sure to buckle up when you're in a car — keep the lap portion of the seat belt under your belly, drawn snugly across your hips, and also use the shoulder harness, which should fit snugly between your breasts.You may also notice your eyes becoming drier. Using over-the-counter lubricating drops may help. If your contact lenses become uncomfortable, try wearing them for shorter stretches of time. If you still have discomfort, switch to glasses until after you give birth.
