Just one complaint!

I thought I could get by a while without complaining of heartburn, but I can't. It's so bad now that tums officially is not working on its own. I am on the zantac now, and just about everyday have to pop a pill or so.
I was trying my best to hold off as long as I could on the pills, since I don't want to get immune to them so early in pregnancy, but that just couldn't happen. I couldn't hold off any longer. This heartburn is just as bad as when I was pregnant with Carson.
Will this baby have as much hair as Carson? We will see!

16 weeks today!

I am officially 16 weeks pregnant today! Feeling like I'm not even pregnant at all, which is kinda nice!
Carson loves to kiss my belly. He says "mommy baby belly" and kisses baby goodbye, goodnight, etc. He's hilarious. We will see how much he likes his sibling when it is here.
We had a great Easter. Carson had a great time hunting Easter eggs Bit-Bit and Jake hid for him, and we had a great dinner at Aunt Jan's house Saturday night. Thank you all!! He then dyed some eggs, which he loved! And then shoveled in as much "bunny cake" as he could - thanks to mom! I thought he was going to get sick!
Easter day, we had a nice cookout for both sides of the family which was very nice. Very relaxing!
Nothing much else to report, things are great, I feel no different, so I have nothing much to report. Just every once in a while I get some rolling around in the stomach!

Doctor visit!

I went for a check-up today and have gained 3 lbs. since last visit, so 4 lbs. total (not bad considering by about 16 weeks with Carson I had gained 8 lbs.) and I'm 15 weeks tomorrow.
Baby's heartbeat was strong at 150 beats/minute.
I still feel wonderful. No sickness to report at all. I can't complain.
I'm just praying my weight remains lower than what it was when pregnant with Carson so I don't have to give birth to another giant!
My next visit is on May 7 where we will find out the sex of the baby and I will have the quad screen test done next visit as well.
So, four more weeks and I will have the news on the sex of the baby (as long as it will cooperate with me).

Zumba has the baby dancing!!

Brittany invited me to Zumba classes last night and after asking my doctor if it was okay to go, I went with his approval!
That is some real fun. Not like a workout, more of a dance party, seriously! Great exercise though.
I have to say during the zumba class, I could feel the baby "moving" for the first time in my belly. No kicking or anything yet, but just some rolling around in my belly, which was a great feeling!
I will be 15 weeks tomorrow, and it seems kinda early to feel some movement, but it wasn't much, but was the first time I felt some good movement in there.
So either the baby was just shocked it's mommy is actually doing some serious exercise, and didn't know what to do, or it was dancing along with me to the music! haha! Either way, it was a great feeling knowing the baby was moving around and to FINALLY feel it!
I am going to try and continue the classes during pregnancy since it was so much fun!
