Premature sleeping...

I fell asleep from 7pm to midnight.  In the immortal words of my husband, as he got ready for bed, "You are f*#%ked."  I'm still chuckling about it.  Of course, the longer I'm awake, the less funny that will get...

Today..

13 weeks... 1week in 2nd trimester.

I had an ultrasound specialist say, "third trimester?"  

Nope!  

I'm glad you think my baby is 3 months older than it actually is.. Thanks for calling me fat.  :-/

Fighting morning sickness

Ok...

So the only thing that helps me is to start out my day with English tea with milk and sugar.

I wake up in the morning really dehydrated.  If I drink water.. I throw up.  Starting with tea with some dairy helps.  I have my tea with a fig cookie.

I can have breakfast and usually I need a mid-morning snack before I can drink water.

My prenatal vitamins make me sick.. So either I need to have it with a smoothie or juice and I can get it down.

So sick..

13 weeks....

My back is killing me.

I went to bed and had the chills.

I stayed in bed til I felt I had a fever.

I know I'm dehydrated, but water makes me sick.

I'm now sitting here with chapped lips.

Drinking orange juice... Afraid of what the sugar is going to do to me at 11pm at night.

I'm just hoping I'm going to feel better soon.

Zach and I are getting snippy with each other, but he doesn't realize how sick I am.  I don't want to say "I've been battling constipation for a week... and now I have diarrhea... Can you help a chick out??"

I want to make a shirt that says...

WARNING

I am a bitch.

I am angry.

I cry a lot.

I'm sick.

I'm tired.

I'm fat.

I hurt.

My house is a mess.

I forget things.

I'm insane.

Don't try to figure me out.

I don't make sense.

I'm growing A HUMAN BEING!!

(Cut a girl some slack)

12 week dr. Appt.

Here I am.  Based on how sick I am.. Either this baby is super healthy or something is very wrong.

With Alex at 8 weeks.. All my symptoms were gone.  I was convinced I miscarried.  

As healthy as I think this baby is.. I'm still nervous...

Baby's kicking!!

13 weeks..

Laying on my side.. Slightly on my tummy.. I can feel the baby kicking!!

If the old wives tale is true...

The old wives tale...

If you are craving sweets, it's a girl. If you are craving meats and cheeses, it's a boy.

I think the chocolate covered strawberries that I made yesterday, the Rice Krispie treats I made two days ago, and that I asked for a box of Sees candy for my birthday..

Are all indications it's a girl.

Or that I have a crazy sweet tooth.. Which I do.

We'll see...

Chills...

12 weeks... the size of a lime.

I've been having chills during this pregnancy. Like I have a fever kinda chills, but no fever. I don't remember having that with Alex.

I do remember not being able to breathe through my nose during my pregnancy with Alex. Went through a couple bottles of nasal spray, cause it made it hard to fall asleep at night.

Every pregnancy is different, but I hope these chills go away soon.

Sleep...

I've had such issues with sleep during this pregnancy.

This tea has saved me. I make it 30-45 minutes before bed and it really helps me relax.

Now I'm posting at 3am and I'm counting on it to help me back to sleep.

Nite Nite!

Waking up..

Waking up because you think you hear a baby crying.... Super creepy!!

6 more months to go!

Poor Alex

11 weeks- size of a fig.

I've thrown up twice with this pregnancy so far. Once after cooking all day and too much heat and once after throwing away leftovers.

This morning I tried to throw out leftovers, and when Alex saw me throwing up, he got scared and started crying. It broke my heart. :(

I didn't get sick until I was in the second trimester with Alex. I'm starting to think this is going to be a harder pregnancy. I'm already the size I was at 6 months pregnant with Alex and I'm only 3. Here's to feeling better soon!

Cravings..

11 weeks... The size of a fig.

I'm sorry baby. I have failed you. I want to eat healthy. I want to grow a very healthy baby. But all I want it highly processed foods. I really just want to sit and eat a bowl of Kraft macaroni and cheese and I don't know the last time I had that. I just want to eat bread and olive oil... Nachos.. And chocolate. I can't look at meat or vegetables without getting sick. I'm going to try a smoothie diet to see if somehow I can trick myself to eat proteins and fruit?? (Then I'll allow the pasta that I'm craving. Apparently wheat pasta is a no go for you.) But I'm trying to make it work. I can't stand the sight of chicken or beef. I hope this will get better soon.

Boobs!!

11weeks - The size of a fig

I just wanna say.. My boobs look amazing! They are so painful and I'm gaining weight everywhere, but man! My boobs look amazing!!
