9 weeks

Well I didn't think it could get worse but that's what I get for thinking. My nausea is basically making me miserable and I stay in bed if I'm not working. There should only be a few more weeks of this, but that seems like so long. Thank goodness I have Cameron to help me and make me food that I don't eat and take care of Colin. I feel like I have hardly spent time with Colin and that makes me sad.

On a happy note, Colin has been ridiculously cute lately. He is chattering up a storm. It's nice to know what he's actually wanting and feeling and needing. I don't think I had smiled once today until I saw Colin chasing the dust in the sun shining in the house. He was having a great time giggling and squealing and running around entertaining himself. I love him so much.

So here's hoping to brighter days to come and less nausea.

I haven't added a picture yet. But I will try to take one tomorrow and add it to this post.

First dr appointment

This afternoon was my first doctors appointment! I got my little goodie bag of pregnancy things like prenatal vitamins and a picture of my little baby!

She said that everything looked really good, she saw good cardiac activity. She said she was getting a measurement of 7 weeks and 4 or 5 days, but she said that she didn't think that baby was cooperating and laying sideways so she could get a good measurement. So it was probably a little older. She set my due date at May 6, 2013. She also gave me a prescription for zofran which is an anti nausea medicine. I had this last time and it worked a little, but right now a little is better than nothing. It seems like my nausea gets worse with each day that goes by. Today was a really horrible day for tiredness and sickness.

So that's all I can really remember. She just said that it looked like a good healthy baby and Colin was going to have a brother or sister! Oh and that he had a really good looking yolk sack, whatever that is! Haha.

8 weeks

Sick. Sick. And more sick. I was super optimistic that this pregnancy was going to be easier and I was going to have less morning sickness then the last one. And that's not the case. Today the only reason I got out of bed was to take the picture for this post. They say it goes away at around 12-14 weeks. And while it's exciting that there's a light at the end of this tunnel, I cant imagine feeling this way for 4-6 more weeks.

In other news, my first doctor appointment is this Tuesday at 1:30 pm. I'm ready to know that everything looks good and to get a picture of my little darling that's making me so sick.

So feel free to send any prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes or anything else you have up your sleeve that may alleviate some of this sickness.

Love you all!

7 weeks

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. I have been so sick the past 3 days and I don't see an end in sight. I am just in a feeling of all over sluggishness and a wave a nausea that won't go away. Nothing sounds good to eat. Though eating does seem to help. It's just hard to put food in my mouth when I don't feel like its going to stay long. I had hoped this pregnancy would be different, but nope! I just hope it doesn't last into my second trimester like last time.

The baby is only as big as a blueberry, but that blueberry is wreaking havoc on my body. The first trimester is my least favorite. Not only the morning sickness, but you don't get any of the benefits. Like feeling the baby move, or a noticeable difference in belly size. But (hopefully) this part will be over before I know it and I can get on with enjoying my pregnancy.

Sorry to sound like a Debbie downer. Maybe I'll be much chipper next week! :)

6 weeks

So today is 6 weeks. It feels like forever since I found out I was pregnant, but pregnancy time creeps along at a snails pace.

Feeling really good still. It's almost too good to believe. I have only a few pregnancy symptoms. Still the fatigue. My eye lids are drooping as I type this. And this week a lot of soreness in my chest. Which Colin loves to dive bomb and make it worse. I'm not having any cravings yet really. Sticking to my usual diet. Minus caffeine. Oh how I miss caffeine. And I'm not sure If it's the lack of caffeine or pregnant brain but I cannot get going at work lately.

They say pregnancies are always different, and so far this one is for sure. Seems like everything but the fatigue is opposite from last time. Does that mean its a girl? Or is it just different?

Today we went to Lila's first birthday party, my best friends daughter. While I looked at adorable little Lila in her adorable dress and her adorable pig tails I thought, I'm so glad I'm having another so I can experience this all again. Then 20 minutes later when Colin's sitting in his second time out of the two hour party and having a screaming fit, I'm thinking... What have I gotten my self into! I have to experience this all again!! Oh well. One day at a time I guess.

5 weeks

According to 'What to Expect' I'm 5 weeks pregnant today. This may change when I go to my first appointment September 25, but until then, I'll go with this time line. So far I haven't had any morning sickness. And I am so thankful for that since last time it was very difficult. But it's still early so I'm keeping a cautious eye out for that. My belly doesn't look like its growing, but it feels like it inside. Other than that, the only real pregnancy symptom I'm feeling so far is fatigue. No bed time is too early for me!

I'll keep it short and sweet since its still early in this long process. I'll TRY to update every week :) or anytime I find out new information.
