9, 10, 11 and start of 12...weeks that is

So I know its been a while since my last post. So I will do a review of the last few weeks for ya'll. 


Week 9: 
Lots of nausea and threw up once. Which sucked! I was at work and I actually had to go home early because I as so light headed and sick feeling. Rested a lot and my week was pretty uneventful. 


Cravings were Bean Burritos from Jimboy's Tacos. Which is so not like me. I made him go 3 times in one week LOL. Thankful to have such a loving husband that will do that for me. He is thankful that Jimboy's is around the corner from our house. HAHA Also the still ever so popular soups, crackers, and chips...SALT! 


Week 10: 
Still very nauseous and threw up again for the 3rd time. This one was a doosey. I was stuck in rush hour traffic at a dead stop  in the fast lane with no where to go. So I had to roll down my window to throw up a little. Then thankfully traffic started moving and just as I was getting off at my exit sitting at the light waiting for it to be my turn when I had to open my car door and throw up. I guess I am thankful that I am not throwing up all the time like some people. But I swear some days it feels like it would just be better to throw up and get it over with then being nauseous all day long. This week I also discovered Yoga pants. I bought 3 pairs and everyday I get home from work I change into them right away :-) 


Cravings this week is fruit and lots of it. Raspberries, strawberries, dried apricots, green apples, grapes and Jamba Juice. Peach Perfection is my new vise. I LOVE IT! I would have one everyday if I could. Also still soups, chips and Cheetos. Salt is still my friend when I am nauseous. 


Week 11:
This week is better than most have been. Hopefully it last...(But it doesn't see week 12) I am not feeling nauseous all day long. It is mostly only at night. It really is a day by day thing. Still can not eat meat for the last few weeks...I miss chicken! I crave it, but when it is being cooked around me (or any kind of meat) I want to vomit. So I just stay away from it for now. Still tired but even that is getting a little better to. Nothing too eventful happened this week. Yay for no vomiting! But there were several close calls when Jason would cook dinner. I have been getting little sharp pains on my left side that last maybe 10-15 seconds. Then go away. I am not worried because I know my body is growing and stretching and the pains don't last long at all. It usually only happens when I roll over on to my left side while I am sleeping or when I move in a way while going to reach for something. Is this normal? Did anyone else feel these? 


Cravings for this week...please see week 10, it has not changed.


Week 12: 
It is only 2 days into week 12 and I already hate it. I woke up feeling pretty sick. I felt a little better thru out the day. By night time I felt horrible again. Dinner didn't agree with me and so by the time I went to bed I was feeling very nauseous and sick. My kidneys were also bothering me. Being that I expected that since I have a previous history of kidney problems I was not too worried since the pain went away after downing a big glass of water and laying still for like 30 minutes in a position I could tolerate. I also ate some Hostess Mini Blueberry Muffins and felt the nauseousness go away too. So I went to sleep and woke up several times during the night since I could not get comfortable. his morning I woke up still feeling pretty crappy. I was light headed and nauseous. I went to work but ended up leaving early after being there 6 hours and could not take it anymore. I came home and fell asleep on the couch almost instantly. The dog came and curled up on the couch with me and I slept for about 3 hours. I now feel a little better and ate some dinner which the pasta didn't agree with me but the potatoes and green beans were yummy. I think I will have a green apple with carmel for dessert since I didn't get to eat the pasta. Stay tuned for more this week...


As for cravings...pasta, and see week 10 and 11. 

Announcements, Appointments and Pregnancy Brains...

Lots has been going on the last week and a half or so since I last wrote. I went to my first doctors appt/ultrasound. I think it still hasn't sunk in that I am pregnant yet. When did it sink in for all of you that are reading this and have been pregnant before? I saw the heart beating, I heard the heart beating. I saw the baby but it still doesn't quite feel real. It felt more like I was watching a video of someone else's baby. It didn't feel like it was "my" baby...inside me. Is this normal? But as for everything else I was still super duper nauseous and smells were effecting everything I ate/felt and being so tired were all still present. I did get 3 really good images of the baby to take home and keep. That was pretty exciting. 

I am now 9 weeks along. This week is def better than last week. I am not nauseous all day long anymore, only when I smell certain things is when I feel nauseous which is a very nice change. Hopefully it stays that way but I am not getting my hopes up. I am not as tired as last week either. I like feeling this way. But I know it will not be for long lol.

I finally announced it on Facebook so pretty much everyone in the world knows, haha!  I am thankful for all my supportive friends. You all mean the world to me and that fact that I have so many friends that are already parents that I can turn to for anything makes me even more grateful. Also those who are not parents are still a great support. I am one luck girl. 

Jason still seems like it hasn't sunk in for him either. I know that it is more normal for guys. But sometimes it feels like he could care less that I am pregnant. Care less might be a little harsh so maybe a better word is he doesn't seem that interested in all the baby stuff. He doesn't really talk about the baby much and when I mention it he gives me short answer. I am not reading into it to much yet cause I know this is who he is and how he acts with certain things. But on the other side of it he is totally there for me. He goes to the store for me anytime I am needing something cause my eating habits are so up and down the the nausea. He is taking care of the dog and lets me sleep in when I need to and is ok with me going to bed early every night since I am so tired and can barely stay awake after a long day at work. He also cooks me dinner every night I am feeling up to eating real food. I am very thankful and lucky to have such a great husband.

Next thing that is going on is the ever so famous "Pregnancy Brain" Mine has kicked in this past week. Does it normally start this early on? When did it start from everyone else? I would love all your feedback, please. So I tend to forget a lot lately. I walk into a room and can not remember why I came in there to begin with. Although for me that is normally my "blonde moment" and those can be often too hehe. I also did my normal shower routine on Sunday...shampoo, condition, put on face wash, and wash with body soap. Then I rinsed off my body, face then conditioner out of me hair. At this time I normally get out of the shower...but not this time. I decided without even realizing it I would condition my hair again and just as I was about to put face wash on again it dawned on my that I already did this...Goodness. So I rinsed out my hair (for the second time) and got out of the shower. The other thing I have done is I got home from somewhere, work maybe, turned off my car, set my keys in my purse (or so I thought) got out of the car and walked into the garage where Jason was. Then I was digging in my purse for like 5 minutes trying to find my keys ,while I was talking to Jason, so I could set my car alarm before I went into the house after forever digging and pretty much emptying my purse I finally realized that I think I left me keys in the ignition. So I walk to the car and there they were sitting on my seat chilling. I have no recollection of doing that! Oops oh well what can you do, right? 

On to next week to see what this baby brings me!
