At right about the 19 week mark, Baby Gerke started moving! Well let me rephrase that...at the 19 week mark, I started feeling Baby Gerke move. Our little mango (yep...we've got a mango this week!) is a little gymnast...at least that's what it feels like! I feel flips and flutters throughout the day and I LOVE it!! Baby ECG makes his/her presence known mostly when I'm lying down or sitting on couch and Scott is extremely jealous that he can't feel the movement yet. Soon enough I tell him...soon enough :-)
Make sure to check back next week when we have our ultrasound to see if we have a little girl gymnast or a little boy gymnast!

Week 18
- How far along? 18 weeks!
- Baby’s Size: sweet potato
- Gender: Still don't know, but we'll find out on September 7th if the baby cooperates!
- Movement: I feel things here and there, but nothing consistent. I'm pretty sure that it is the baby moving around in there, but just feels like a tickle right now!
- Sleep: I am getting up just about every two hours to visit the bathroom. I usually don't have any problems falling back to sleep, which is good!
- Food Cravings: steak, mexican, anything with a lot of strong flavors
- Food Aversions: chicken....all chicken
- What I am Looking forward to: Finding out if we have a girl ECG or a boy ECG! Just about two weeks to go!!!

16 week check up
Hard to believe I am almost to the halfway point of this pregnancy. Time is just flying by. Most of the time I don't feel pregnant, which makes it all that more surreal. I haven't felt the baby yet, so I have to rely on my growing waistline to reassure myself that there is indeed life growing inside me. I'm hoping that little ECG starts making his or her presence known soon, because all my clothes being snug is starting to get annoying!
We had our monthly check up this past week. I had blood drawn, talked to the doctor, and heard that lovely heartbeat again. I don't think I could every get tired of hearing the sound that is the mix of a washing machine and a galloping horse! Scott could clearly hear it this time and I loved the beaming smile on his face when he knew what he was hearing....already such a proud daddy!
So today I get a phone call from the nurse at the doctor's office. I love her! She is by far the best nurse, I have ever had contact with. She talked to me on the phone for at least 10 minutes explaining every lab that had been run and answering every single question I had. Everything came back just perfect with all my blood tests, I just still have this pesky infection. She said I'd probably have it throughout the rest of my pregnancy. She said having it and not treating it is safer than treating it at this point, so I just have to deal! Of course this isn't hard because I don't feel like I have an infection so dealing is something I can do. This does mean that I'll need IV antibiotics during delivery though....that's 5 months away...I'll worry about that when the time comes, in about 160 days :-)
