Pregnancy #5 Note-Baby Alice Katherine!

Baby #5 Pregnancy Notes

• We found out we were pregnant on June 30th, 2017 Dan's 35th BD.  
• We are so blessed to be able to get pregnant easily and to have never miscarried!
• I felt more nauseous and sick with this pregnancy than any of the others, but still never threw up.  Also such a blessing.  
• I got bigger much faster than other pregnancies.  I felt like I was "showing" at 10 weeks.  
• We went public and announced we were pregnant the day before I went to girls camp July 31st, at 9.5 weeks.  
• I think I felt baby move around 13 or 14 weeks. 
• On our get-away to St. George, at 18 weeks, we looked over many, many girl names because we pretty much already decided on Paul David for a boy. 
• At our 20 week ultrasound, the tech used the pronoun "he" then quickly corrected herself with "or she," leading me to believe it was a boy.  I tried to push that out of my mind and not read too much into it.  
• I wrapped my belly in foil for Halloween and called it a baked potato.  I did the same when I was pregnant with Ben.  
• I started to get pretty uncomfortable around 6.5 months.  I usually feel uncomfortable later around 8 months pregnant.  
• McKenna took most of my belly progress pictures since I liked to do them on Sundays and Dan wasn't always around. 
• Felt like this was the wiggliest baby out of all my babies!
• I felt more laid back about "getting ready" for baby.  I didn't really feel as big of an urge as in the past to deep clean my entire house.  
• I felt almost bored waiting for baby to get here!  
• Felt hot most of the last month of my pregnancy, which also led me to believe it was a boy. 
• McKenna, Ben, and Anna, most of the time said the baby was a boy.  
• Bethany held strong and said the baby was a girl the whole time.  I came to find out later that Dan had told her after the ultrasound thinking she couldn't talk well enough to spill the beans.  
• Doctor stripped my membranes at 39.5 weeks.  
• Induction set for March 3, one day past my due date.
