Well, today is Wed and since last Monday (monday before 2 days ago) I have only had to take 3 pills...the last 3 I had. I have been feeling okay and haven't actually gotten sick in about 3-4 weeks, until today. I'm not sure if it was the unhealthy dinner last night (which consisted of snacking on random things throughout the night because nothing sounded good) or eating too much followed by too much liquid today, but you wanna know the new meaning of "lego my eggo"? Blueberry waffles sounded so good, especially since I was out of my milk this morning...I probably would have been better off using Jason's milk and risking the dairy intake!
I pushed through it though and am feeling quite a bit better - 2 hours later. That's a good thing though, before when I got sick it was one of those deals where once you are sick, you stay sick all day long. Now I am eating a bagel and it seems to be sitting well.
Here's my latest issue - I am SO thirsty! Not dehydrated thirsty, but the kind where I cannot keep my mouth wet and I just want to chug like 4 gallons of water through a straw constantly. I really hope I'm not getting gestational diabetes or something. That test will come soon enough I suppose.
Other than that - no confirmed kicks yet, some feelings that might have been, but still not for sure. Within the next week or two though they should be loud and clear! I do want to feel it, but am patient that I'll get enough of the disturbance eventually:).
We are 18 weeks between tomorrow and Saturday so almost half way!!!
Oh, one other thing. A friend of mine gave me two bags of baby stuff and a baby seat (the bouncer/vibrating bed thing) yesterday. I brough it into the house and Jason's eyes just lit up. He is so excited. I kept holding up the newborn clothes and we just couldn't believe that we could potentially have something that small! I'm fairly confident that our baby will not come out under 8lbs, but they're still cute to look at!!!

16.5 week Drs appt
Well, we had our 16-17 week appointment yesterday. It was a quick appointment with the nurse, Dr. Covert will meet with us after our ultrasound (20-21 week appt) on the 10th (US) and then 16th (with Dr).
Jason was able to make it at the last minute which is great. I would have been fine without him, but it's just nice to have him along to anything I do much less to hear our unborn child's heartbeat!
Here is a picture (I cannot believe I agreed to this!) at 16 weeks. Jason wants to do it an I put high restrictions on what the picture can contain and look like. There are actually about 6 different shots - this is the only one allowed to be seen!
And here goes trying to upload the video/audio of the heartbeat. It is fairly quiet (the recording) and you'll hear some static - that is the baby moving!! Turn your volume up, the camera's microphone isn't very sensitive.
Other than that, I'm proud to be on day 3 of not taking a Zofran!! I feel great - now if I could just get my energy back that would be great. I think if I did the exercising in moderation that would help, but I cannot stand this heat - it makes me so light headed! I'll try for some moderate stuff in the house and move to walking the dog once it cools down a bit.
Not too much else going on! Should be a great weekend though, I'll update after that.

Delivery Anxiety...
I'm sure every mom to be goes through this, but I'm good about the pregnancy part. I can take the puking, the headaches, and all of the other stuff that I'll spare you the details on. I know I'll get frustrated and be super happy all at the same time about being a Mom, but I'm sure I'll do fine with that too. What I am worried about is the delivery. I am that person who does not like anticipation. I always build things up in my mind to be way worse than they ever turn out to be. I am just past the 4 month mark and already stressing about how badly the delivery will hurt!
Now, it doesn't help that I just went through my medical providers website to hear all about the facilities and whatnot. All that did was give me a more realistic setting in my head of where I will be going through all of that pain! It doesn't last forever and I'm sure I'll be fine - however, the build up is killing me already!
Just my two-cents for the day.

Talk about stuff going on!!!
Well, yes it's been a while...again. Let's just say, a new name for this blog may be in order. Since February, we booked and went on our honeymoon to Puerto Rico, I found out I was pregnant, got a new job and turned 30! Yep, just a little bit going on.
So, we're due 1/1/11 - although that would be a cool date, I hope it comes earlier than that rather than later! I'm already huge for 4 months, mostly due to the fact that the new belly is pushing the older bigger belly all over the place so I look like most women do at 6 months. Oh well. Who cares, I'm prego! I have been very sick, but getting better. Too bad I wasn't writing then, you could have gotten some interesting insight on how to prepare for puking!
New job - I am still in the same department, different job - better job. I'm salary now, and a project coordinator which could technically go on a resume as an official project mgmt job! As you could probably guess, I'm not all that busy - hence me blogging again, but this time around I'm totally okay with it. It's frustrating, but at least I'm in a job that is going somewhere now!
30- not nearly as eventful as people make it out to be, especially since I found out I was pregnant the week before my big party, but couldn't tell anyone!
Honeymoon - AWESOME. I love my husband. I love everything about him and we had so much fun relaxing and seeing new places together. He is really my best friend. All the drama in life just seems to bounce off our little bubble - it just let's us know its there and we don't mind because we know that we are just fine together. Why do I bring up drama? Because there's often a lot of it in our lives - my husband keeps me down on Earth though and is just so relaxed when I'm not. Ususally that would piss me off, but even if I do freak out, it's only for a minute and then I come around.
Family - still the same brother-in-law drama (on both sides) which I won't get in to too much - again, it's manageable. It will be dealt with in stride and only matter when it really deserves attention. Parents are great - all 4 of them. They're all excited about the baby. For my parents it means a bit more to me obvisously because they are my parents, but even more because it will be their first grand child. They have full and busy lives, but to have a little baby around...from their baby will be so much fun and i can't wait for them to get to be Grandparents!
Okay- enough for the check-in, I'll update as Dr's appts and other exciting news comes along.
