Glory! Glory!

It would have been really bad if we had to tell our kiddo that the Dawgs lost at technically his/her Georgia football game. Luckily, they did not lose (they won with a field goal with 2 seconds left!) and now we can tell Baby Neighbours that his/her first football game was a win! I was able to make it through the whole game, which surprised me considering I had a busy day.

First, I woke up sick (what’s new), then I went to Lindsey’s bridal shower. It was so much fun and the food was amazing. That would normally be enough to wear me out, but I put my game face on and we made it to the game. It was pouring rain, but the poncho helped and it did lighten up half way into the 1st quarter. We met up with Anne Marie and Michael, which made it that much more fun. I had a few times where I had to sit down, but I didn’t eat anything because I was really scared I’d throw up on someone!

Over all, the day was fantastic and Chris and I are making a little frame with the ticket stubs and pictures for Baby Neighbours first Georgia football game to hang in the nursery!

Morning Sickness, well, sucks.

I have been sick since last night about six o’clock. Mostly just nausea, but then, when Chris started making sausage for our brinner (breakfast for dinner) last night, I lost it. Totally threw up and have felt sick since then. I actually left work today because I was feeling so bad. I slept from 2 until 5:30 and I am just now feeling like I could eat. Blah blah blah. Chris thinks it’s funny. I think I will puke on him and see if he still thinks it’s funny.

Girls Weekend!

This past weekend we had a mini-girls weekend in Savannah. We had a great time and I think I successfully kept the pregnancy secret! It was hard, because I felt sick several times, and man, I got tired a lot! Also, all the walking coupled with the bloating caused my feet to really, really hurt! At one point, my hands swelled up so big I couldn’t take my wedding band off! YIKES! But, like I said, it was a lot of fun. We ate a ton (hey, not a problem for me!) and we shopped and did a ghost tour. I love Savannah – it’s such a fun city. It’s even better with your girlfriends!

This can't be our baby...

The baby does not like Mexican food. This is the third time in a week that I’ve had Mexican food and this is the third time that I have gotten really sick after eating it. That makes me sad. It also makes me think this can’t be our baby. Chris and I LOVE Mexican food. It’s a staple for us. Seriously, we eat it at least twice a week (sometimes more). So either, I’m having an alien or this baby is already a troublemaker.

Nap time

I was always good at nap time. I love to sleep. That’s why pregnancy suits me. I have to sleep every day after work for at least a 1/2 hour. More if I can. So here’s what I am thinking – babies like to sleep. Amanda likes to sleep. Therefore, Amanda likes babies. This is a good equation (as I am a studying to be a Math teacher).

I turn 29 in one week. By the time I turn 30, I will (God willing) have a four month old. That is messed up! I am really excited about the ultrasound. Kerianne describes the size of the baby at the time I’ll have the ultrasound as a Teddy Graham. Now I can’t eat Teddy Grahams because I think I’m eating a baby.

Speaking of eating, I go from completely stuffed to absolutely starving in like, twenty minutes. I actually think I’m eating less than I did before I was pregnant, but I think that’s okay. I need to drink more water. I am always thirsty. No real cravings yet – I do see some things on TV and really want it for like five minutes. Today I did want cinnamon twists from Taco Bell and I got them. They weren’t as good as I wanted them to be.

Sometimes, reading is a bad thing.

I have to stop reading the BabyCenter message boards. Every other one is like “I had a miscarriage last night” or “We had the ultrasound, but there was no heartbeat”. That is scary stuff. And it makes me worry. Kerianne told me not to read them. She said I’d be scared. But of course, I did it anyway. Now I’m scared. The only thing I want in the entire world is for this baby to be healthy. The next few months are going to take forever…

On a positive side note – I did not throw up today! WOO HOO! My boobs hurt, though.

Whoever decided women should wear bras was an evil man.

5 down, 35 to go!

Today I am 5 weeks pregnant. Chris says it’s only 3 weeks because technically, for the first two weeks of your pregnancy, you’re not really pregnant. Whatever. I am 5 weeks according to my doctor, so that’s what I am going with. In about 17 days (but who’s counting?), we get to go for the ultrasound. That’s just crazy! I can’t wait to see it! I’ve kind of forgotten that my birthday is in a week or so. All I really care about is October 1st.

According to the websites, my baby is the size of an appleseed today. An appleseed. So tiny. Even though I know it can’t hear me, I talk to the baby everyday. I ask it how it’s feeling, tell it how excited Daddy and I are, how we can’t wait to meet him or her. This is the week that the heart, brain and lungs start to form, so it’s a very important week! I have had some morning sickness (Friday was awful – I spent most of the morning in the bathroom) and I do get tired out easily. This week, I’m going to try walking around the block with the dogs in add in some exercise. I think the appleseed needs some fresh air and it’s beautiful out today!
