9 weeks :)

I've hit the 9 week mark. I think some of the morning sickness (or as I now refer to it as Miserable Sh*t) is slowly going away.. At least I've had more good days this past several days than bad.. and again have been able to eat some as well. It still varies throughout the day, and I still expect I may still get sick again in coming days. The biggest problem I'm having now is Indigestion. I'm glad to be eating, but these stomach pains are awful! lol. I guess it's all just part of the fun.
Along with my raging lunatic outbursts. Oh joy. My poor husband. I might have had a little overrun of hormones yesterday, to say the least. I'm not trying to make excuses for myself, but yesterday I just didn't have control of myself! I just had to blow up, so I did. Unfortunately at him. Unfortunately for him he had nothing to do with the reasons why. I just plain woke up frustrated, and apparently wanted to be that way and let every little thing throw me over the edge. It's frustrating to me as well. I don't know what was wrong with me, other than to blame it on hormones, and I hate to use that as a cop-out.

Today I had peaches and cottage cheese. I haven't had that in forever, and it was SO good. I think I'm finally feeling up to making a trip to the grocery store. Last few times I've gone, I hardly bought any groceries because everything I saw, just the thought of eating it was making me gag.. so I didn't buy anything. We have food in the house, but nothing appealing.. and not much to make a meal out of.
So now off to catch up on laundry, housework, grocery and work stuff.

I'm working on a new baby blanket for someone too. It's got all the different baby colors in it, so it could end up being mine to keep ;-) lol.. if I like it.. but we'll see.
I have to post pictures of the another one I made for a gift.

Starting this out at Week 6 and 4 days :)

So I want to keep some sort of journal of my first pregnancy :) and since I missed out on blogging the beginning, I'll just start here and keep going.

I found out about 3 weeks ago that my husband and I will be having a baby .. Expected due date: Tax Day! lol.. April 15, 2012. My little brother is hoping for a day sooner, as that's his birthday.. and I told him I'd see what I could do. lol.. no promises.. baby will arrive when baby is ready.

So this week started the "I'm starving and can't eat anything" week..
This truly sucks because I LOVE FOOD. I'm ALWAYS hungry.. you could ask any one of my friends and they'd tell you I'm constantly hungry and constantly eating.. well not this week! I wake up starving and feeling very nauseated, and that pretty much lasts all day. Nothing sounds good, and even when I find something I think I can stomach, it only lasts through a few bites and then no can do. So this is a toughy for me. Big time.
I made a trip to the store yesterday when I was actually feeling ok and picked up anything I could think of that might help.. Flavored rice snacks, Plain Rice cakes, honey roasted peanuts, Mixed nuts, Veggie chips, crackers, fruit, protein bars, protein shakes, pretzels.. very little of it is helping. I can eat a rice cake in the morning and somewhat help with the nausea, and of course the chocolate protein shakes/bars are good.. but it's definitely not enough. Yesterday I felt ok because I force-fed myself an Egg Mcmuffin.. well half of it anyways.
Today I made an attempt at a burger that I loved before all this, and NOPE! One bite and ick! Dang it!
So instead, I choose to sleep. If I can't eat, I'll just sleep then. Fine.
I'm very very thankful I haven't (knock on wood) really gotten sick.. only the feeling that I'm going to. I can drink water, tea, gatorade, whatever.. all day.. but food, no. Hoping this part doesn't last much longer. I'm totally ready for cravings! lol

I have my first appt with my doctor on this coming Monday, which I'm really excited about... and a little nervous. Not sure exactly what they'll do, but I'm hoping to get to hear a heartbeat at minimum, since I'll be at 7 weeks, it's a possibility. Crossing fingers and toes!
Mostly, though, I just want a good report... that everything looks/seems good.

Then, my husband and I plan on telling his daughter, my stepdaughter, on her birthday the next day.., that's been BEGGING and WAITING for a little sister/brother-   so this should be quite exciting. I bought her a little pajama set that says "Big Sister". I think she's going to flip :)

So I guess that's it for the moment.
Food Cravings = NONE.

Week 6  ~ not much~

Food Aversions- EVERYTHING.
