So I still haven't really been sick (yay! Considering myself super lucky). The only time I feel nauseous is when I get hungry. One minute I will be not hungry at all, the next I'm starving and feel like I'm going to puke if I don't eat something RIGHT THIS SECOND. It's really weird. There's no "I'm starting to get a little hungry" it's just suddenly I'm starving. So I try to keep snacks in my locker at work for suck occasions and even if I just eat a couple crackers or a packet of fruit snacks I feel better.
I guess I have to say my major symptom is gas. It's ridiculous! I pretty much constantly have gas pains no matter what I eat and have to fart all the. It's horrible. And I'm still constipated. So I can dart like champ, but can't poop. It's fun!
I've also noticed the last couple days that by the end of the day my stomach is about twice as big as it is in the morning. I know I already have a little tummy because I'm overweight, but in the morning it's just my normal stomach. After lunch I've started to notice that I feel bigger and my stomach feels heavier. And after dinner I feel huge and my stomach looks huge! It's crazy. And it's not like I'm eating crazy amounts of food. Just normal meals throughout the day. And then the next morning it's back to normal. Strange.
I'm still on the progesterone suppositories for about 1 more week, my doctor has me on them as a precautionary measure. They don't hurt anything, can only help. Well Friday night I worked until 9 pm and I was sure I have 1 more pad and figured I'd go shopping on Saturday and get more, well I got home and the box was empty. I had used the last one the night before. I hate pads and haven't used them since I first started my period. I always used tampons, so this was my first time in like 15+ years that I ever ran out of pads when I needed one! Lol. I didn't take the progesterone last night, and I'm sure 1 night won't hurt!
I also feel like I'm losing my mind. I forget stuff all the time, I guess that's what pregnancy does to your brain!

8 weeks
8 weeks. 2 months. Craziness! It's still surreal. I have the ultrasound picture set as my screen saver on my phone and every time I see it I think "that's my baby. That's growing inside me right now." I think about seeing and hearing it's heartbeat on the ultrasound and I think about that, and that tiny heart beating inside me. I just get this happy feeling every time I see it. Even though it just looks like a little blob! I can't wait for my next ultrasound on feb 6th! It will look more like a baby and less like a little blob! I'll be 9weeks3days when I have the ultrasound.
Not much has been going on, just work. We went out to dinner and saw Hansel and Gretel on Friday, I liked the movie! It was good. We also went and bought an outfit for a friends baby, she's due really soon. It makes me seriously want to know what baby is so I can start shopping! I plan on getting a neutral stroller, infant seat, swing, pack and play, etc., but I can't wait to start buying baby clothes! And start sewing stuff for the baby! I plan on making the bedding, a cart/highchair cover, carseat cover, changing pad, bobby covers, bibs, burp cloths, nursing covers, and whatever else I can find to sew for the baby! Then we can start figuring out a name and calling baby by name! (we already have a boys name).
I also decided to cloth diaper! I bought my first cloth diaper the other day and some fabric to try and make one. I'll send it to my cousin to test out and hopefully it will work well so I can start making some! I plan to buy them slowly throughout my pregnancy so when baby comes I'll have a nice collection!
I've been feeling the same, not really feeling too bad so I'm considering myself lucky so far! A little moody, but that's expected.
Here's 8 weeks:
I also started taking a picture of my bare stomach this week and plan on doing that weekly from now on!

More real!
Since we saw the little bean on the ultrasound yesterday, saw and heard its healthy heartbeat, its so much more real. There's a little person growing in there!!! Granted it just looks like a little blob with a tiny flickering heart, its still a perfect little bean that's going to grow into a perfect little baby! When we heard the heartbeat I looked at Josh's face and he was just staring at the ultrasound screen in awe. It was so cute! I think he realized "holy shit there's seriously a baby in there". I'm sure he'll it'll become even more real at the next ultrasound in 2 weeks because the dr said it'll look more like a baby. It'll have little arm and leg buds and well be able to see it moving around! I'm so excited for that! That's one good thing about going to a fertility clinic-you have more ultrasounds early and get to see the little bean growing! So exciting. I made my first OB appointment for Feb 12th and I'm not sure if the OB will do an ultrasound before 20 weeks since I will have already had 2 when I start seeing him? If not then I'll have to wait until I'm 16 weeks to go have the gender ultrasound!
After the ultrasound yesterday morning we went to the grocery store and I stocked up on some healthier meals to take to work for lunches. I've been eating kinda crappy the past few weeks because I was wanting fast food cheeseburgers and fries so I'm trying to eat healthier! I got grapes, strawberries, bagels, cream cheese and yogurt. I made lasagna for dinner last night and while it was cooking I washed the grapes and strawberries and divided them into sandwich bags, I put the bagels into separate sandwich bags, I had enough (fruit an yogurts) to make lunches/dinners for work for the rest of the week (4) I packed each lunch into a grocery bag and put them in the fridge so when I leave for work I can just grab one and go! This morning I had a fruit smoothie for breakfast and when I got hungry at work I had my grapes and then I had the yogurt, strawberries and bagel for lunch! It was SO yummy! And I feel good for eating healthier! And I think the fruit is already helping with the constipation issue! So yay!
Later that day I went on a work errand with josh and then we went to sees candy and there was a babies r us in the same parking lot and we went in there to look around Josh was pretty overwhelmed! He really has no clue about baby stuff! And a lot has changed since I was a nanny and since my niece and nephew where born! We were looking at cars seats and I was like "come over here, lets look at the infant seats" and he was like "wait, there's different car seats? You have to buy another one when there older?" And I had to explain the whole infant seat stroller travel system and how it works and why. I think he's still a little confused. I definitely plan on getting a car seat stroller travel system and he said "but if you get that then you need to get a whole new one when they get too big for the infant seat?" And I tried to explain that you get a new at seat that stays in the car and then just use the stroller without the infant seat, but I don't think he was understanding it! He thought you had to buy a new stroller too when they outgrow the infant seat! It was pretty funny! I looked at the pack and plays and they have come a long way! I think I want one instead of a bassinet to put in our room. There's one that has a bassinet/rocker seat that you can use alone or on the pack and play and it had a changing station!
I also think I'm going to cloth diaper. My cousin is doing it and she's liking it so far. It's just so much cheaper then disposables. And better for the environment. I'm going to attempt to make one and send it to my cousin to test out! If it works well I will make most of mine, but also buy a few.

Nervous
Headed to my first ultrasound and I am so nervous! I hope and pray everything is great and we see the little bean and see (and maybe even hear) the heartbeat, but I'm terrified that she'll look and won't be able to find anything in there, or there won't be a heartbeat. I really hope that's not the case! I just want the reassurance that everything's ok!

7 weeks!
It seems to be going so slowly and so quickly at the same time! The days are long, but the weeks are short. I guess that's the best way to explain how it feels right now. Only 2 days until my first ultrasound! I cant wait to see the little bean growing inside of me! And only 8-9 more weeks until I can find if the baby is a he or a she. I find myself calling it her and when I picture the baby I picture a girl. For some reason I think it's a girl. Maybe wishful thinking? Although I'll be happy with either! A place at the hospital does gender checks at 16 weeks for only $30 if your delivering there or at the other nearby hospital. The "boutique" places do it as early as 15 weeks I think, but cost a lot more. I'm not sure what I'll so yet, but if my ultrasound when I can find out the gender isn't until 20 weeks I don't want to wait! I want to know as soon as I can! So if I go at 16 weeks that will be March 24th!
The room that is going to be the babies room has been my sewing/craft room since we moved in almost 2 years ago and it has become my dumping ground for all my stuff. It's a cluttered unorganized mess. So I moved my desk and bookshelves into our bedroom and last weekend I cleaned out a small dresser in our room and some of my stuff in the closet and put clothes that don't fit me into storage boxes. I organized my most of my fabric into the dresser today and started going through and cleaning out and organizing my stuff onto the bookshelves. I'm planning on spending a few hours every weekend (or day off) getting that room cleaned out. Getting my new little crafting/sewing area organized and throwing things out. I tend to hold onto things and think everything is important to keep. Like my work shirts from when I worked at T-mobile 4+ years ago...yep. Found them in a box of clothes today. And into the trash they went! There's a lot of stuff I know I need to get rid of so slowly but surely I'm hoping to de-clutter and get organized! And then I can start setting things up in the babies room! I have a big bookcase from ikea
That I plan on using in the nursery. I'm going to get some baskets/storage boxes for some of the shelves, and display toys and books and stuff on open shelves. We already have a crib and there is a daybed in the room that I'd like to keep but I need to get the book shelf and crib set up to see if there's enough room for the bed plus a glider/rocker. The bookcase is black but the bed is white and I want to paint the crib white (it's a really light wood color). I'm not sure I'm going to love the bookcase being black. It's still in the boxes though so I'm considering exchanging it for white. I plan on doing gray walls so maybe I could leave the bookcase as is and just use white storage baskets? I don't know. I still have plenty of time to figure it all out. And if we happen to find out we're having twins (which I highly doubt) I'm thinking we'll just return the bookshelf and get 2 cribs from ikea!
So I still really haven't been having many symptoms. A little bit of queasiness here and there, tiredness (but not too bad yet). My boobs on the other hand are SO unbelievably sore. My nipples hurt. I sleep on my side/stomach and if I lay on my boobs it hurts so bad. I've been wanting unhealthy food. Fast food, a burger and fries is so good. But restaurant food and food I used to cook and enjoy just doesn't taste the same, it's just not very good, except spaghetti...mmmm...my spaghetti is yummy and good thing josh loves it to. I really want to try to make an effort to eat healthier. I plan on stocking up on fruit when I go to the grocery store this week and eating that throughout the day. Maybe get bagel thins and cream cheese for lunches at work to have with fruit. It's so hard to figure out what to take to work for lunch. Nothing sounds good so I've been having top ramen. I snack on whatever cheddar cheese its to keep from getting nauseous. And I have one craving so far - orange juice. I've always enjoyed orange juice once in a while but we never buy it because I'd have a glass or 2 and then it would go bad sitting in the fridge, but know its just so good. I have a glass every morning and when I don't I think about it and crave it until I have a glass. I even stopped and got some on my way to work one day because I didn't have any that morning and I was craving it so bad. This is making me want some right now. I also had something that didn't agree with me. The grocery store by more work has these cheese balls that are really good so I got one and some crackers and after eating some I felt sick. Like I was going to puke, I didn't though, but I felt icky for most of the rest of the day.
I guess that's it for now! Until I get to see my little bean on Tuesday!!!
