Oh and here we are, another week down. Tomorrow is the appointment, I’ll post the big blog tomorrow.

You know your pregnant when...

  • you can smell everyone, even the people who didn’t shower this morning two counties over.

  • you want to cry at commercials! Not even full shows, but 15 seconds is free game to bawl your eyes out!

  • nothing tastes good, absolutely nothing. Yet, EVERYTHING must be in your stomach, RIGHT NOW!

  • two sips of water is enough to release niagra falls ten times within the hour.

… More to come…

FINALLY MADE IT TO WEEK 7!!!! I know I just found out Thursday, but its felt like forever until I could say week 7!!!

Infamous test. Biggest of my life!

Pea in a pod. :]

I’m DYING! I cannot even fit into my pants that I JUST BOUGHT! I bought them, maybe a few days before James left! And now, I cant even button them up! I’m so extremely and grossly bloated! EEEWWWWW! I havent had any bouts of nausea, which I’m EXTREMELY thankful for! Remembering to take my prenatals, that’s an issue! I keep forgetting what time I took them at night (cos I started them at night). But whatever, they’re not as big as I’ve been hearing. However, the forgetfulness is getting RIGHT TO ME! I forget EVERYTHING! I forgot what I went to the store for, like 5 times; WHILE IN THE STORE! And then, figuring that I had recovered lost memory, I left… FORGETTING THE MAJOR THING I WAS TO GO THERE FOR!!!! Its amazing, I’m normally the one who writes it all down and never forgets, and now I’m by far, the most absent minded person I know.

My sister and I went to see Paranormal Activity tonight. Now, laugh away, but the whole time I was LITERALLY TERRIFIED that by getting scared, I would cause stress to the baby and kill it. I have NO idea why. I ended up paying about 9 bucks to watch the lower right corner of the screen and pray that I didnt freak out. I think I’m losing my mind, I cannot stop worrying about everything, and then worrying about worrying! So far, I dont feel like I’m “stressing” that much, but I do feel like at times, when I’m alone or something, I’ll start to wonder if I’m doing everything right. I definitely thought that pregnancy was puking and weird alien pokes from inside my belly. IT IS NOTHING LIKE THAT! There is soooo much I cannot do! I cant even try to get rid of my “acne” (I’ve never really had acne, but something is happening to my face, and at times I look in the mirror and not noticing myself think, pizza face hahaha). I cant even stretch my back! Putting my arms above my head allows the possibility for the baby to be strangled! These things in themselves are stressful! I’m so tired. Its taken me almost an hour and a half for me to finish this post up! How terrible! I’ll post more tomorrow. :]

love.

Still baby Sweet Pea! 6 weeks, 3 days.

SO, today brought no new symptoms. My cramping has eased up, but I think that I’ve tried my hardest to stop stressing, so that could be a sign. I’m getting excited for the appointment, but the more I read about it, the more I’m finding that its going to be a LONG appointment. As in, 3-4 hours!!! Now had I known that, I NEVER would of scheduled an appointment for 8 am!! :[  Whatever, as long as the baby’s healthy, I cant complain. Though, having the appointment at 8 weeks verses earlier, I can clearly hear a heart beat by 8 weeks. So after that, I’ll only have 4 more weeks of my first trimester. I’m trying REALLY hard to eat well, but I ate SO bad before and after James left, that I just got into that terrible habit. That and my house is an utter wreck. My mom and sister are going to help me clean tomorrow, but there is only so much I can deal with. We have to figure out what to do with the cat, and the kitty litter. Since my sister is moving in with me, I’ll be able to have her do all of that, but we’re going to have to figure out what to do with Minke at night and so on.

I cannot wait for James to get home, cos then I’ll be entering my third trimester, and all the fun stuff will be able to happen! We will be able to set up a nursery and he can paint the room and all of that fun stuff. I’ve been looking at things for the registry, but I’m really not sure what I NEED, and what I just am so sticky fingers ready to buy. Plus, a few of my friends are pregnant and I got to go through their registries and look at all that they’re asking for. Its so hard to talk to James about what he wants, I honestly havent even spoken to him since I told him we were expecting. Regardless, he sounded thrilled, and I hope that this whole pregnancy goes very well!

Other than baby stuff, nothing has been going on. Its another busy week for me, which will be good, I need to stop spending. Not that I’ve spent a lot lately, just I dont need to spend more. I did, however, buy my New Moon midnight ticket! I’m sure James will miss out on that tradition! :] I know it was one of his favorites! Last year I drug him to see the first movie, Twilight, midnight premiere the night before he was to leave for the field for work! He ended up falling asleep in the movie, but was a trooper for going with me! I’m sure we’ll be able to catch next years one too, :] baby in tow! Hope everyone is having a nice week/day!!

The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day. The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night.

In the middle of the Atlantic you can see a home from my past, the Azores.

 Lovely. :]

I found out today that… I have a baby the size of a sweet pea in my belly! :] I had three negative tests up until yesterday, when I got my first positive! So I went straight to the Doc’s and took a blood test, which today, CAME BACK POSITIVE! According to what we know, I’m 6 weeks pregnant. My due date should be in the ball park of June 23, 2010. I told James last night about the positive test and we both knew that it was really happening! We couldnt be more excited, James is even wishing for a boy! With all I’m eating and how bloated I am, I feel like it may be two or three boys! hahaha. I have my first OB appt. Nov 10th, so I’ll keep everyone informed as to how that goes.
Today wasnt too bad, I had a lot of nausea and I’m hurting all over. My belly seems to want to poke out further and further after every meal! I feel like I look 20 weeks, rather than 6. I did do some research though, and a lot of women bloat up and look much further along before they are, so I havent found anything abnormal. The harmones are definitely raging though, I am a mood somebody. My poor parents and Britt have to deal with me through the worst stages! I feel so bad for them, but I’m sure James is happy he doesnt have to see all of this mess! :]
Everything sounds good with James, if you want specifics, I’d be more than happy to e-mail them to you, just dont want to blab all over the internet. He’s doing all sorts of training but I can tell in his voice, he wants to be home. I think I got a working address for him, so we’ll have to see. I dont want to give it out, cos we’re both a little if-y on if its correct or not. Other than that, nothing has been going on around here. Just waiting for the first appt. :]

Well lets see...

With nothing to occupy my time, I’ve been doing the bare minimum. :[ I have started painting the bedroom though, which is always a nice treat. I even sleep in there, so I guess that’s a bit of motivation. haha, Paint early so I can sleep in my bed at night!

I have a TON of things to do this week, none of which  I have done or want to do.

- Find a job (REALLY needed now that my computer fried)

-Find things to occupy my time, like said JOB.

- Thursday I’m going to get a pumpkin! So pictures will come with that.

- Friday Britt’s kids that she babysits for is allowing me to take them to the movie (paid for by the kids mom! SCORE!)

- Saturday morning, I’ve talked my mom into going garage sale shopping. I watched a documentary on people going insanely broke since the recession and they’re selling all sorts of neat things at garage sales! So now I’m excited and ready to get things at dirt poor prices! YAY!

Other than that stuff, nothing is really going on. I’m sure that now that I’m back to being connected with the internet world, I’ll hopefully post more. Oh, I dont think I mentioned that, MY COMPUTER FRIED! One of the dogs (I really think Po) chewed my power cord, so I was just using it as is, but then it started sparking and then it just sparked a big one and shut off. Cant get the computer back on and then the cord snapped! So now I’m using James’ PC and trying to set it up like my laptop, but it’ll never be what that was. Hopefully with that job I’ll be able to get my macbook!!!!

I havent talked to James since Saturday, but he says he’s doing well and misses everyone mucho! Still in Bagram, so he’s just waiting to see what the next step is!

ciao bella
