Pregnant Life

Well, I cant complain... Life has been pretty good since being pregnant!!! Let me back up since it has been a LONG time since I have written a post. For those of you who have not heard all the news yet, the first week in September I found out I was pregnant! I say I, not we, because I took the test (okay, lets be honest... 3 tests) on a Friday afternoon and did not tell Mike until Saturday afternoon. He had a football game and I wanted the time when I told him to be meaningful, not 5 minutes before his football game. He got home at like midnight and woke up at 5am for more football. I finally got to tell him and then headed out to the beach to celebrate labor day. I am due May 14, 2011. We were so excited about the news and wanted to tell everyone, but had to wait til 3 months before sharing it with EVERYONE. So far each ultrasound (we have had 2 so far) have been wonderful! The baby is moving and wiggling like crazy. At the last appointment, the doctor mentioned they have never seen such an active baby before. It took a good 20 minutes just to get the heartbeat because baby Kintz would not sit still. I have had absolutely no morning sickness to report. I would get a bit light headed feeling during second period each day which is right before lunch, but would chug a bottle of water and feel back to normal. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and have not gained any weight yet, but the belly is starting to really pop. Today I had a student say: "Mrs. Kintz, you used to be skinny and now you are getting kind of fat". Made me feel just wonderful! :) I am still in between wearing maternity pants and regular pants which is such an awkward stage. I have resorted to mostly maternity tops though to cover me up at school. Plus, maternity clothes can be really comfortable!!! I have had a few emotional mood swings, but have been pretty good in that category as well. Mike may give you a different viewpoint, but I think I have been fine. The only difference is my size and that after working all day at work, I come home and just crash. I want to go to bed at like 6pm every night because I am so worn out. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse with having a baby! haha. As I said, I can't complain and have had a pretty good pregnancy so far. Baby is healthy and that is the #1 thing I need to know! :) Stay tuned because on December 22 we will finally be able to stop calling Baby Kintz an "it" and call it a boy or girl......
