Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Well my mom got here a few days ago and she must have brought the baby sickness cure because since she's been here I've been two thousand percent better!! And I am soooooooo happy not to be right at vomits door anymore. She keeps feeding me, so maybe that's the key, never stop eating. My stomach continues to expand at an unexplainable rate. (I will start posting pictures of it soon.) I can't fit most of my pants, I can't button any of them. Right now I am using a hair tie to hold my pants closed.

Anyway today has been great. We finally got the tree up (see!!!) and it looks beautiful. I also put up some extra lights so it's all christmasy around here. It's funny to think this time next year there will be a little baby looking at that tree all wide eye, wow.... but right now I just feel really happy. It's amazing how mommies make everything better instantly. I hope I can be that way with my baby, just instant "All Better!"

48 hours on the couch

So I've been on the couch for two days now. The morning sickness refuses to let up and to top it off I have some sort of sore throat. It really sucks... I wish I could just have about two hours of no sickness. I can't really eat or drink, it's quite awful. And boring, daytime tv is crap. Who watches this stuff??? I don't think I can take another day of this...

One Liter Down...

I just finished my second bottle of water today, UGH the TORTURE. I hate water! Two more to go today. I'm telling you if I wasn't pregnant I would not be drinking this much water even if the doctor told me to. I hope I make it or at least I hope it gets easier to get it down because right now I feel like gushing all this stuff back up.

And don't even get me started on the bathroom trips....

My First Appointment

So I just returned from my first doctor's appointment in YEARS. Those who know me know I am terrified of going to the doctor. I'm really not sure why but just thinking about it makes me get upset. However I chose this doctor because she seemed like she was very kind and understanding and could relate to me, and I made the right choice! I still cried when I got in there though, cause like I said, I'm terrified of going to the doctor. I always told my hunny the only way I'm going to the doctor is if it's an emergency and I have to go, or I'm pregnant.... (Sometimes I think he did this on purpose to get me to go to the doctor. But I can't prove it) Anyway the doctor was very nice to me. The down side, I have to drink TWO LITERS of water a day!! I HATE WATER!!!!!!!! This is going to be total torture. But I don't really have a choice.

Anyway I'm starting this blog to document my pregnancy and the birth of my first child. I've been up and down emotionally about the whole thing. But lately I've been pretty happy about it, although I'm also scared. My body doesn't feel normal at all. At this point I am approximately 6 weeks, and I'm already starting to show!! I think it's because I've always had a flat stomach so this pudge sticking out is very visible to me. (I do pray I get my body back) So basically I feel bloated from my throat to my butt. I've been pretty nauseated on a daily basis but I've found if I eat before I get really hungry I can keep the nausea at bay. So this week I changed my whole schedule around, fist thing first in the morning, BREAKFAST!! (well really bathroom, but you get the point). I've also been exhausted everyday. I fall asleep easily and deeply at the drop of a hat. Which is a good and a bad thing. Good in the sense I haven't slept so well in years, bad because I can't sleep when I want to so most of the time at work I am sitting there struggling to be awake.

Since I've found out I was pregnant I've been on hibernation from my social life. My friends keep asking me if I am ok. Well I am ok, but it's hard to tell my friends I'm pregnant. I haven't even told my mom yet, I'm waiting to tell her in person since she will be here in a couple weeks. I really don't know when to tell people, sometimes I think they will figure it out since I hardly hang out and I don't drink anymore. So I guess I'm waiting for one of them to just guess...
