Y’all….
I REALLY wanted to finish all of my Italy posts. I have 18 pages left in my journal to type up…when am I going to find the time to do that?!
Especially now since all I wanna blog about is the baby. 🙂
One of these days I’m just going to knuckle down and finish….hopefully before the baby gets here because then I’ll never get it done!!
Baby in my belly,
You sure do love sweet tea!! You take after your daddy’s side of the family in that regard!!
And coffee is still making me sick. I swore I wouldn’t give up my morning cup of joe..but you had other ideas. 🙂
Your daddy and I can’t wait to see you again at our next ultrasound, which seems like years away. We’re trying to be patient, but it’s so hard!
We love you little one!
Love,
Mommy
How far along? 13 weeks
Maternity clothes? Nope. My jeans are getting a little tight. I’m loving my dresses!
Stretch marks? Except for the ones I already had, nope. Damn freshman 15. 🙂
Sleep: Pretty good. Up at 5am every night to pee, but other than that I’m sleeping through the night. And I’m still trying to get used to not sleeping on my stomach or back.
Best moment this week: Texting back and forth with Josh about names for the baby while we’re at work. 🙂
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach. And red wine. 🙂
Movement: Nope.
Food cravings: Fruit, salads, lemonade, Pop Tarts, and anything sweet.
Anything making you queasy or sick: BBQ, sometimes Mexican food, onions and Greek yogurt. Which is sad because I bought a 12 pack of Choboni at Sam’s right before I started having morning sickness. 🙁
Gender: I’ve been feeling boy but everyone says I’m having a girl since I’ve been craving fruit and sweets.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms: Still a little queasy here and there. And still a little sore in the chest area.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Mood: Happy but sleepy.
Looking forward to: Relaxing this weekend. And we’re going to the Melting Pot on Saturday for their “endless fondue” event!! Can’t wait to pig out! I’m eating for two, right? 🙂
Morning sickness…that stuff is no joke. At both my appointment with my family doctor and my appointment with my obgyn, I felt fine. Literally less than 24 hours after my obgyn appointment…BAM. Sick as a dog.
And ever since then? Sick, sick, sick!!! I’ve been feeling TERRIBLE!! All day long nausea. No throwing up…but that’s because I HATE throwing up. I’d rather feel sick than throw up. I’ve been gagging a lot too. It’s miserable.
I can’t stand any meat. I’ve been eating a lot of scrambled eggs and peanut butter and jelly. Pizza and quesadilla are also settling ok. And fruit is still good. But I’m getting really tired of eating the same things over and over and over.
At work, I’m miserable. At home, I’m miserable. In the morning, I’m miserable. In the evening, I’m miserable.
I’ve tried eating saltines right when I wake up.
I’ve tried ginger gum.
I’ve tried vitamin B6.
I’ve tried ginger ale.
I eventually broke down and called my doctor. She prescribed me some nausea medicine. Even it doesn’t help that much!
So I’m just miserable. I can’t even THINK about food. (This from a girl who loves to cook, loves to eat, and watches tons of Food Network and Cooking Channel.)
I can’t open my fridge – the smells make me sick.
I can’t go to the grocery store – too much nasty looking food and too much to smell!
I can’t even look at Pinterest because if I scroll by a picture of food, I gag!
Y’all – this is horrible. I’m praying it will only last the first trimester…
And on the bright side, at least I know that baby is still in there! Even if he is making me sick. 🙂
P.S. Please don’t give me suggestions – trust me, I’ve tried almost everything. Just commiserate with me. 🙁
Until my first ultraosund, this pregnancy had been a piece of cake. (Uggg…cake sounds gross…)
I really haven’t had any morning sickness.
The only craving I had was for jalapenos. (Which sound disgusting now…)
My vitamins haven’t made me nauseous.
And I haven’t had any food aversions….
Until yesterday.
Remember the story about the ribs? (Uggg…even typing the word makes me want to puke…)
Well the night after my parents came over, I decided we should go ahead and eat the ribs. (Bleck.)
Even though all day I was wanting a salad. A nice crisp salad with butter lettuce and real ranch dressing. (Which now sounds yucky…)
So even though ribs sounded a little gross to me, I got home and put them in the oven. (Thinking about the smell….ewwww!!!)
But I was fine. I ate the ribs. And I didn’t feel bad…YET…
The ribs were actually pretty good. (At least at that moment they were good…)
Well later that night, I was sooooooooooo incredibly nauseous. I couldn’t even tell Josh what was wrong. Every time I went to form the words in my head, it made me super sick to even think of the work “ribs.” I just lay on the couch and eventually feel asleep because I was so miserable. When I woke up later, I had to ask Josh to clean up the leftovers because I didn’t think I could look at the ribs again without throwing up. I went straight to bed. Even this morning when I woke up, I couldn’t think about ribs. Ewww!!!
So lesson learned. If a certain food seems a little gross to me…DON’T EAT IT!!!! You will regret it.
And I’m pretty sure I will not be eating ribs for the rest of my pregnancy.
Gross.
