Week 15

I’m now 15 weeks and everything is changing so quickly.
According to “The Book” my baby is growing hair, moving and starting to learn how to swallow and suck. It’s very exciting for me and I can’t wait until I can feel the baby move!
My body is starting to feel different. I have a lot of pains in my hips and lower back. I know it’s because my body is starting to shift to accommodate the growing baby and preparing for upcoming presences of a full term baker baby. I have been emotional over the past four months (we all know about my emotional outbursts) but this past week I can just talk to my belly and I get all teary eyed.

The past few weeks have been great, very little morning sickness! I have pushed it a bit and paid the price but over all I have felt good. The only thing that’s going on that gets me really upset is the problems I’ve been having with my ears.

For the about two weeks I have been hearing my heart beat in my right ear. Not a ringing- but an actual “swoosh, swoosh, swoosh” that is in perfect rhythm of my heart beat. Weird, Huh?
I have not been congested or sick. Just one day I woke up and I could hear my heart in my ear. I let it go for over a week and Jake finally demanded I go to the doctor. The doctor looked in my ears, throat and nose but could not understand why I was hearing my heartbeat in my ear. I have no infection, water, swelling in either ear. He stood there and said “I have no idea what’s wrong with you!”
I told him if I died of a tumor next week I would be pretty mad about it. He didn’t laugh, so that freaked me out even more. So I now have a doctor’s appointment with an ENT doctor and also some hearing tests have been set up. It’s traveled to my other ear and now I have a headache that has been constant sense Friday.

So other than that I feel great and I’m really excited about the weeks to come.
I talk to my belly every night and I tell the baby how much I love her/him.
I’m sorry this blog is not very funny or upbeat but this headache is really taking a toll on me.

I will write more later after my doctors appointment and let you know the outcome…
