So tired 3/31/09

Yesterday in an effort to conserve gas I took the bus. On the way home I started to read my book. When I noticed I was no longer retaining any information but rather rolling my eyes behind my own eyelids I put the book down. I must have looked like I was having a mild seizure. I looked across the isle (I was on the side facing seats in the front) and the woman who must have been about 7 months pregnant gave me a knowing smile as she glanced back and forth. She feels my pain. :) Then I proceeded to fall asleep, almost immediately, in my own lap. I woke up in South Everett. I slept for a little over an hour. I awoke to a sore neck and the pregnant woman across the isle asleep too! I came home and drank 1/2 cup of old nasty coffee and was functional for a few more hours but then I dropped, nearly dead, in bed.

New Doc appointment on the 10Th and I'm officially at 8 weeks tomorrow!

In week 7... 3/25/09

Through Week 6 and into week 7 I started eating weird food, had to pee before bed, in the middle of the night, and first thing in the morning...that's a lot of pee.

I'm tired more than ever in my life..and I've had mono too!

We saw the heart beat twice.



I finally drank half a cup of diet coke...It was delicious.

Realized that I am too emotional and when I think everyone hates me I'm probably wrong. Aldo, just because Aaron doesn't like a name I picked out, it doesn't mean he thinks I'm stupid and never should have married me. It just means he doesn't like that name.

Reading the "Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" has validated my claims and Aaron's.

Aaron made it to all three appointments, even after PT.

I have become overly organized, which isn't a bad thing.

Finally, I don't have extreme nausea, just some queasiness...but I do have gas that rivals Aaron...Awesome!

So I'm 7 weeks Pregnant 3/22/09

Normally I like butter and sugar free syrup in my plain oatmeal...but I've actually really enjoyed Ketchup and hot sauce in it... It started as a solution out of desperation due to the hospitals completely un-palatable muck. I HAD to eat it, I'd already taken the insulin for it, but there was nothing yummy to mix in with it...except some ketchup. So I did and Aaron almost threw up watching me eat it with strange satisfaction. At home I added the hot sauce, and it was GENIUS! Now I'm craving it almost every day. Aaron thinks it's disgusting. I don't blame him. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. haha!

All the side effects can't be as good as good as getting bigger boobs!

...P.S. it's about the size of a raspberry right now!!!
