10 Weeks along now



So according to Birthwatch on Facebook, I am now 10 weeks and 1 day. Nausea has finally took a back seat. I may have a flutter of it on occasion, but thank God it has pretty much left  me. So far the things that have made me gag are tuna, one spell with meatloaf, and I didn't want my fiesta chicken from Struts over this past weekend. I don't wanna even look at a cheese it right now. Mustard, potatoes, chocolate milk and pretty much any vegetable taste like heaven to me. The night I couldn't eat the meatloaf, I just ate mashed potatoes with mustard(lol) and green beans. It was sooooo very good too!!!

My moods are pretty somber. I think most of it is just trying to adjust to a new way of handling myself. After the scare last weekend, I've gotta take it easy so yeah I'm really on an emotional roller coaster to say the least. I'm considering talking to Dr. Jarvis about a chill pill! Good news is I am eating everything not tied down and still losing weight!! I am still at a whopping 75 pounds lost. I have a lot of loose belly from being so big, but I do feel the baby bump. It's so neat because I don't remember much about being pregnant at this stage. With Dalton I was already far enough along they couldn't do an ultrasound anymore, lol.

We bought a swing from a friend of a friend of mine at work for like $30. What a deal. It is going to be an awesome addition for our wonderful miraculous addition. :)

So...really, I wanna give all my love and thanks to Joey and Dalton. Those two have been so great at helping where I can't. I'm so not used to all of this yet, but I may can get used to it ;)

4/29-5/1/2011...What a weekend

So Friday, Dalton went to stay with Grandma and Dwain...Joey and I went to Struts for supper that night. Joey had the Strutasaurus burger, finished it and got his name on the board. It was a wonderful, filling night...especially after the tornado on 4/27 that has killed over 250 people in Alabama alone.

So on 4/30, I woke up with a lot of pressure. I had taken Colace the night before for my not being able to go. When I peed, there was some pink and I couldn't really make it out due to the fact I had drank the Wal-mart version of a Diet Mountain Dew the night before and my urine was really yellow. After Joey left for work, I went back to the restroom effectively from the meds the night before, but this time there was definite pink blood on the tissue. I started freaking out and called Joey. He came back, I had called the emergency doctor on call and was expecting her returned call, hopped in his truck and we were on our way to Rome. We got as far as Gregersons and turned around. The doctor called. She asked if I had been constipated and attributed all of what was going on to the pressure and straining of constipation. I was to take it easy the remainder of the day, drink plenty of fluids, and take tylenol for pain. Joey left for work after a while of waiting to make sure everything was ok as it could be. I spent the rest of the day sleeping and crying my eyes out. I feel so bad for Joey because he has so much on him right now. I am really driving him crazy and I don't know what else to do! I hope everything is ok!!! I can't imagine our lives now with me not being pregnant and I don't want to until Tempy or Riddick is here safe and sound!!! God please, please take care of our baby!!!

5/1-There was very little signs of blood when I went this morning. It eventually became non-existent. So Joey and I went to Bojangles for breakfast and then Amstar to see Fast Five. Great movie and there will be another!! It was nice being hugged up to him at the movies. I am on a roller coaster of emotions and driving Joey insane. Dalton made me an early Mother's Day card and thanks to Grandma, Dalton gave me a Marigold in a planter pot. He's such a sweet boy! On the card it said, "you are the best mama a Dalton could ever have"...so precious!!! I love him so!!! After we got Dalton, we came home and I napped. Bless Joey's heart, he washed all the dishes and swept the kitchen. I love this man so much!!

04/18/2011 First Doctor Visit-First Ultrasound

Today was the first official visit with Dr. Jarvis and it was a great one! We got there about 30 minutes early, lol. We first went to the exam room after I nervously filled out the medical information form like 3 different times because I got up and kept asking questions (yeah, I'm driving Joey crazy!) Then the nurse sent us to Dr. Jarvis's office where we discussed a few things regarding the pregnancy and past pregnancies. Then off to the exam room again, but this time to do the exam and determine how far along I am with an ultrasound!!!! Yay!! We got to see the heartbeat of our little "peanut". As of 4/18/2011, I am 7 weeks 2 days along...due date December 1, 2011!! Yes, two days before Joey's birthday!! Then we left for me to give up enough blood for 8 vials and then off to insurance we went. Whew!! A miracle well worth it all :) Afterwards, we ate at Moe's for the first time and it was freaking awesome!! What a wonderful day!!
