Baby Info ... More to Come Next Week

I've been MIA for a while due to this pregnancy and my inability to do much more than get up, go to work, go home and sleep for the last 16 weeks.

I am 19w today and almost to the half way point.  I have to say I have been extremely lucky to date with this pregnancy. I have not had any morning sickness, I have not really had any issues other than being extremely tired.  That was until Sunday when I came down with a head to toe rash due to an allergic reaction.  I tried on some second hand maternity clothing I purchased before washing it. It was my own stupidity as I could smell the person's detergent on the clothing. I have since recovered thankfully because I was pretty sure I was ready to rip my skin off.

 I was very unprepared to pop so suddenly.  I went from being just flabby LOL to having a hard round stomach.







I have an ultrasound on October 8 and I can't wait to get some pictures of our little BandBaby.  I am also starting to feel some small flutters/kicks.  I am assuming that due to my weight before getting pregnant it will take longer for me to actually feel our little ones kicks and even longer for poor Colin to feel them.

I started out at 279lbs and I am hoping not to gain too much.  As of last week I had only gone up to 286lbs which was only a 7lb gain.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep a healthy weight but I'm sure trying!
