Ob appointment!

This morning I had my 17w ob appointment. I kind of had a weird morning leading up to it. C (who still co-sleeps) was all over the place last night, waking up multiple times, and even sometimes sort of whimpering in his sleep. I've been so out of it at night lately that I just vaguely remember finding his binky, giving it to him, and going back to sleep. This morning I woke up and felt so sick. I ended up throwing up in the sink (I can't puke in a toilet. I'm a weirdo) and I just chalked it up to some lingering morning sickness.

I get the kids ready, eat a few bites of a bowl of cereal that made me gag, and left to drop E off at preschool. Me and C then had to run into Harps to get E some lunch since I didn't have anything to pack her. C munched on a banana and some orange juice for a bit and then him and I went to the library to hang out for a bit since it was still awhile before my appointment. I noticed that C sort of gagged a few times, but he kept taking out his binky and looking at it, so I assumed that he had a hair on it or something. He acted fine at the library, while I met with a friend to get some maternity clothes, and while I was at the appointment (more on that in a bit). But after we left there and started heading back to Fay, I noticed he looked pale. I said "C, you feel ok?" and he said "I puke" and then about a minute later he threw up everywhere. Poor kid. And poor me because the smell was awful and it made me start gagging as well. We made quite a pair. :)

I took him to DH's work and cuddled him while DH got the car and carseat cleaned up as best he could. He's acting ok since, but I'm afraid he's gotten what E had at the beginning of the week. If he does, we have at least another day of the yuckies.

And now to the appointment.

Heartbeat - a nice 154 beats per minute. That's the lowest it's been so far, if I am remembering correctly. It makes me feel better to know that there is a nice heartbeat going, even if movement still isn't that much. I did feel another case of the hiccups before getting out of bed this morning, so I wasn't quite as nervous going into this appointment,

Weight gain - I've gained 3lbs this month, which the doctor said was awesome. I was sort of expecting more, so I definitely breathed a sigh of relief after that. That means that at closing in on 18 weeks, I've gained 5lbs. Not too shabby, I guess. I'm on par with weight gain with C. At 2 weeks farther along, I was 6lbs heavier with E! So at least I know for the time being I'm at least staying away from her weight gain..haha.

Next appointment is my ultrasound, set for 2 weeks from tomorrow. Oh, I can't wait! I've gotten used to the idea that it's a boy, so I'm going in there expecting to see another cute little man. :)
