18 Weeks

I am almost half way there. A while back in an attempt to scientifically guestimate our newest baby's birthday the King and I came up with a formula.

Chiggie-15 days early
Tea-20 days early
Midge-3 days early
Boo-12 days early

15+20+3+12= 50/4=12.5

So we're predicting the baby will come about 12.5 days early. With a due date of March 23rd that puts the arrival date right at March 10th at noon. Sounds good to me. As far as new symptoms this week there haven't been many. My heartburn has gone from slight to regular. Breathing seems to give me heartburn at this time. I should have very healthy bones with the amount of Tums I've been popping.

I wish I could say that the issues I'd been having disappeared but they haven't. They've picked up if anything. I'll be interested to see if I have a low lying placenta or something of that nature. I've had to resort to self diagnosis as getting in to actually see the doctor is next to impossible. The nurse assured me that even if I was to get in sooner than my scheduled appointment I would probably only get "temporary reassurance" anyway. She's a real sweetheart I tell ya.

Thankfully my appointment is tomorrow and I will hopefully get some answers. In the meantime we have finally picked out two names that we really like. Keeping with tradition we will wait until the birth to make the announcement, but I feel relieved just to have that part out of the way. I will be sure to update tomorrow when I know more.
