Ok...taking back my last post....

Here it is...week 8....and the morning sickness is back. Came back yesterday...was feeling kinda yucky all day, and really yucky this morning. Darn the luck..thought I was out of the clear. Guess I was wrong! I haven't been so sick that I've needed to run to the bathroom or the closest trash can...but it's the overwhelming feelings of nausea. I'd almost prefer hanging my head over the toilet to just feeling yucky all day....but I guess I should consider myself lucky today. Many other women have it way worse!!

Our first appointment is this coming Friday...we're so excited!! I really looking forward to at least seeing the Nurse Practitioner for confirmation that yes, indeed, I am still pregnant. An irrational worry, I know, but when you're this early along in your pregnancy, your mind starts to wonder....and worry that everything in there is ok. Oh good news...the baby bloat is going away! Whoohoo!! I was able to get a pair of shorts on this weekend that in week 5 weren't even close to buttoning up...so this is my small success this week :) I am however, going to start thinking about purchasing the Bella Band for work. My work clothes are starting to get a little snug....so if I can just wear that over my "unbuttoned" pants...that will work. Just so long as my pants don't fall off!! :) LOL.....wouldn't that be quite the sight!!

Mild Morning Sickness?

Is it possible to have just a mild case of morning...well...really it's all day...sickness? Last week I had the beginnings of what I thought were going to be a miserable few weeks....but now this week I'm not feeling quite as bad. I'm still extremly tired...exhausted really....and get mild waves of nausea, but nothing like last Friday was. I'm hoping this is the worst of it...and that it will be tolerable the next few weeks. I can't believe I'm closing in on 8 weeks already. We have our first doc appointment next Friday, so just really looking forward to that!! :)

Extreme fatigue......zzzzzzzzzzzz...............

Gosh I'm tired! I had no idea that I'd feel this tired already. I know people say you'll be tired...but I thought...ok...I'll want to take a nap. This tired?? I had no clue! I've considered more than once...bringing a pillow with me to work and napping on my lunch hour. I haven't gotten the nerve...especially since no on here knows yet. I won't be telling them until the end of my first trimester, which will be around Labor Day. Feeling nervous about it...just worried that my boss will ask me right away if I'm coming back. I have a statement already planned..."DH & I are still discussing our options, and will let you know when we've decided." I don't know if it will come out like that...but that's my plan. Always better to have a plan right? :)

Ok....6 week picture coming soon. Just need to stay awake long enough for DH to take the picture! :)

5 Week Bump...er...Bloat!!

Ok....didn't realize that I would feel so bloated. Seriously...my pants aren't fitting right...someone please stick a pin in me and pop me! I tried on some maternity clothes I got the other night....AHHHH! They are so comfy...and I just want to wear them around all day!! I got them for our upcoming trip to Disney World...and got them on sale...so they should fit good by then. I had no idea I would feel this bloated. One of the other interesting things you find out once you decide to have a baby :) I can't wait to learn more!!

5 weeks...and counting

So I'm 5 weeks along right now. Feeling good...feeling positive...but that's just today...who knows how I'll feel tomorrow! I keep reading/hearing about other women who have morning sickness right away..so I keep wondering if I'm going to get hit with it...or will I be one of the lucky ones that squeaks by without the suffering. I have to admit, my lack of "symptoms" makes me more nervous..makes me wonder if the baby is developing ok...makes me wonder if I really am pregnant...and if it was all a hoax. Thoughts like this may seem crazy and irrational to you...but I think it's all part of the process. I think all this worrying now gets you prepared for the fact that you will never stop worrying about your child...not matter how old they are. So Iguess I'm just getting some good "practice" before the baby gets here. March can't come soon enough :)

First pregnant freakout

Ok..know how I know I'm pregnant? I had my first hormonal breakdown this morning. We were getting our roof replaced this morning, and they came a little early...try 6:50am...and started whacking away at the shingles on the roof. Ok....so they should have warned us that they were coming that early...but I can hurry up and get my stuff together and head out. Well....I couldn't even get out the front door. They had tarp all over the yard...including our front steps...so I couldn't really see where to walk. Just as I stepped out...and bunch of shingles...etc came crashing down...just missing my head. I freaked...and ran over to our neighbor's yard...and ran to my car. I immediately burst into tears...and frantically tried calling DH....who didn't answer. So there I am in hysterics trying to drive...and not lose it completely. Ahhh...the joys of what's soon to come....I have a feeling this won't be the only time this happens....
