Wallowing in Self Pity

I would say that I’m a pretty positive person. Some have even said that I’m all about puppies and sunshine. But today, I am taking the liberty to voice a few pregnancy complaints. Here they go…

1. Why don’t I like food? I use to love food, I mean REALLY love food. Now, the only thing that taste good to me are fruit snacks, gummie bears and dots. This is not a very healthy baby diet!

2.I am freaking sick of water. I’m supposed to drink 64 oz of water a day. And I do (since I’m eating so many gummie bears…gotta do something right!) But I’m sick of it. I feel like I’m drowning from the inside out!

3.I just want to sleep. Like all of the time sleep. This is not an option. I force myself to stay awake each night until 10 (ok, maybe 9:30). Who let this happen?

4. I like to move it! And I can’t! I am not one to come home from work and sit, but that is all I can manage most days. This laziness must stop. I’m putting my foot down on this one! :)

Ok ok, that’s all for today. Overall I am actually feeling a lot better than I was a few weeks ago. I still have a smile on my face about 90% of the time, so it's not all that bad! Also, getting to see the baby and the heartbeat helped for sure! I can’t wait until my next appointment. Who’d ever thought I’d actually WANT to go to the doctor?

It's A Baby!

We had our first doctor's appointment today. Chris got to come see the ultrasound and we saw the baby for the first time (although it looks like a gummie bear...guess that would explain that craving!). The baby is measuring perfectly and the heart rate was 186. The doctor said that everything looked great! I had lots of blood taken, so we'll be waiting for those results but for now we have a perfect bill of heath! Enjoy the pictures!

And the Morning Sickness Starts...

I really don't know why the call it morning sickness. Trust me, I feel sick all day! I am not one to EVER skip a meal, I truly love food. But lately, nothing taste good and I'm not craving anything! Chris has been a saint and cooking whatever I ask (and always trying to give it a healthy spin!) The other day I asked for waffles and he made peanut butter oatmeal waffles with strawberries. It was pretty good, and I'm guessing in a few weeks when I feel better, I'll think it was great!

Other than that, I'm just kind of tired, especially during the week. It's really hard to do anything in the evenings when I get home from work. I've been working out during lunch, which seems to help keep my energy up for the afternoon.

One more week until our first appointment. I can't wait!
