Val - That is hard having someone else stay with you!  Especially when it is family and not working out well.  Maybe you guys can get away for a little weekend or something and de-stress?  Hope it gets better soon!

Liz - Unfortunately, we're scared to leave her her alone for more than a few hours at a time, so as long as she's here, no mini-vacation for us!  I'm definitely putting in my request for one as soon as she leaves, though.  My fingers are crossed for the end of April, but I think it could be into May.  It's really putting a damper on my "nesting" attempts, since she's staying in what will soon be our nursery! 

Does anyone else have really dry skin and super chapped lips?  I don't know if this is pregnancy related, or just really weird.  My lips have never been this chapped, they HURT!

Yeah, that would be stressful.  Hopefully you can find someway to keep it at a minimum.  I've lived with in-laws and my with my father, parents(when my mom was still alive, so glad I got to spend that time with her).  It's stressful esp. when growing up living with them was stressful in the first place.  Not a good combo.

Since the Fall of being pregnant with my ds, more than 5 yrs ago, I haven't been able to get my chapped lips to calm down.  I might need to go see a naturopath one of these days and see what they can do for me.  Sometimes its worse than other times.  It's tolerable right now.

I still get tired very easily too, but feeling much better than the first tri.  Hope the stress stays away for you!

I also can't wait to feel this baby move, and move lots!!!

Hah.  You guys are funny.  No, didn't poop myself.

Had my midwife appt. yesterday.  I am 16 weeks today and they found the heartbeat with the fetus scope.  152 beats.  I am also measuring on dates this time.  With my ds I measured 2 weeks ahead the whole time.  I'm hoping that means, smaller baby this time. Everything looked good, I love my midwife and we got to meet her assistant and she is wonderful too.  She is so sweet. 

Other than that, the excitement here yesterday was that the power went off at noon because a squirrel decided to taste the transformer wires.  I guess he was singed on his back and lovely things were blown out his butt.  I'm glad I missed that.  Poor squirrel.
