Week 5
Today is New Years Day and I am 5 weeks if you go by when my last period was. I'm still feeling good. I've had a cold so I don't know if what I was feeling was cold stuff or prego stuff. I don't have much of an appetite and don't care what I eat. Its annoying to Bliss that I have no opinion on where/what we eat :)
I'm not sick so thats good but the books say that may wait till 6 weeks to start so we'll keep our fingers crossed. If I eat too much (but not as much as would have been too much before), I feel sick. The other night we went out for pizza. I had 2 slices of a large pizza and thought I was going to chuck right there at the Mellow Mushroom.
I am sleepy and I get to the point that I need a nap easily. If I do stuff, then I get worn out but if I'm just lazy all day, or even at work where I just sit there, I'm fine. For example, we went shopping for a few hours then I came home and took at 3 hour nap. Maybe this mean Bliss will do the grocery shopping :) Probably not, but a girl can dream!
Week 6
I had prepared myself to be prego. I was ready for the having to pee all the time, ready for being tired and I bought extra tums for the morning sickness.
This stuff isn't really happening to me. I'm a little sleepy around 4:00 at work, but by the time I get home, I'm good. AND I keep waking up all night. I'm not sleeping well at all. But its not due to having to pee. I don't. I probably pee less then I did before. I only get a little nauseous when I don't eat, so I have a snack and I'm fine.
I do feel a little off though. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm not quite right. Who knows.
Thursday I have my first appt. It will be the first time Bliss gets to see another man shove something up my hoo-ha. I'm sure it will be an exciting day!
Week 7
Yesterday Bliss and I went to my first OB appt. The doctor said that everything looked great. He did an ultra sound so we could see the little blob. He measured the baby at 6 weeks 5 days and according to my last period, I would be 6 weeks 6 days so we're right on. My due date is Sept 4th! We didn't get to hear the heart but we did get to see the little flicker that its heart was making. I only got a little teary :)
6 weeks 5 days
I"m still feeling the same. Overall I feel pretty good until I get hungry then I feel like crap. Still a little off but I'll get though it :) No weight gain yet. Thank god for that. I've been eating more then I normally would but I don't want to gain 50 lbs! I've been trying to make healthier choices so lets hope I can keep that up.
Oh! I did have my 1st food aversion this week! I made us a pork tenderloin and sweet potatoes for dinner. As I was cutting up the pork, I did not like the smell. I was going to try to eat it because I like pork and I was hungry. Didn't happen. I took one bite and had to spit it out. So, I had a sweet potato for dinner :)
Week 8
So nothing new on the prego side of things. I got sick again. It just a lot of stuff in my chest and keeps me coughing all the time. I ended up staying home on Wed because I was coughing so much my throat was killing me and my voice was going. One of the crappy parts of being pregnant is that I can't take any good meds :(
I'm leaving tomorrow for Maine and although I am excited about going home, I am not excited about going up there sick. I usually get sick when I go so we'll see if this gets worse before it gets better.
Week 9
I had a great time in Maine. I told everyone that I saw about the new addition to the Jourdan family when I was there. Everyone was very excited for us. I showed off the pic of my little blob. Funny story about telling my father...I wore Christina's Mom-to-be pin over to Dad and Susan's house just to see how long it would take for them to put 2 and 2 together. I knew Susan would be quick so I stayed in the entry way with my dad for a few minutes after Susan and Christina took the kids in to the living room. I took off my coat and talked to Dad. He looked me straight in the eye, not at the big pink bow I had on my shirt. Finally I pointed to it. He read it then asked if I was talking about myself. I said yes and he said congratulations! and shook my hand. Oh, Daddy... :)
Christina pointed out that hanging out with Jillian (2 weeks) and Genevieve (2 years) will help me decide how far apart I want my kids :) It was strange to look at Jillian and think that I'm going to have one soon. I mean, I'm sure its crazy to see a baby and think, wow, that was in me...but you still have somewhat of a belly and just few days prior you could feel the baby and see your belly. Now here I am with very little belly (I'm naturally blessed to carry all my weight in my ass) and to think, shit, thats going to be in me. My belly is going to be huge.
This isn't a great pic of Jillian, but you can see her whole size
Here is a cutie pic of my newest niece
I got over my cold. With that I've also gotten over the whole feeling like crap when I'm just a little hungry so that's great. I can actually hold on for a bit and wait for dinner to be ready. I still haven't gained any weight. I'm ok with that :)
Week 10
I'm 1/4 of the way there!!!
Nothing else to report about this week. Same ol' same ol'.
Week 11
This week we told the rest of our friends at a Super Bowl party. All the guys made jokes and the girls congratulated us. We have a few more people to tell then I can post this and make the "official" announcement on facebook.
Also, I had an Old Navy gift card left over from my birthday so I was looking on line and found some summer shirts in the maternity section that were really cheap so I ordered a bunch! I'll probably need pants before shirts but hey, you can't beat a $5 shirt. Speaking of pants....I have 2 pairs that I feel totally comfortable in. 2-3 more that I wear but I know look like shit on me. I know I'm not showing yet, but I don't like any tightness on my belly. Also, I gained some weight just before I got knocked up. A big thank you to the cruise and holidays for that. So I know its not pregnant related but I don't want to buy new ones and its not like I can work on loosing the weight. Anyway, enough about that. I'm excited for my new shirts :)
Week 12
My clothes came in! I tried them on with a half deflated balloon up my shirt to try to get an idea of what they would look like on. Bliss just sat there an laughed at me.
Usually for Valentine's Day Bliss and I cook a nice meal together and just hang out at home. Now I love to cook. I love to bake. I love to spend time in the kitchen. For whatever reason, I have had no desire to do any of it lately. Not even like its ok, it has to be done so let me cook. I don't want to. It's like doing dishes or cleaning the tub. Anyway, we didn't cook for Valentines. Instead, we went to Sticky Fingers for bbq. It wasn't the most romantic, but we did spend the evening together :)
I had an appointment on Wednesday and got to hear the heartbeat! It was 158 :) There were two other sounds that the lady said was a kick and a flip. I have no idea so we'll go with that! I wish I had known that we were going to listen so that Bliss would have come. Maybe next time!
Week 13
I had a bit of an over reaction this week. Sunday I spotted a little then Monday morning I was crampy and it wouldn't stop. Then I spotted again that morning. I started freaking out cause that's what I do. I called the doctors office and made an appointment for that afternoon. Bliss came home for the appointment and we went. Of course everything was fine. The doctor went over some things that could have caused my cramping and spotting. I did get to see the baby again. It waved at us. :)
12 weeks 2 days
I wore my first maternity shirt today! Not that I need it. We just needed some laundry done :) It doesn't look like a maternity shirt so I think its ok :)
