Last night was my first dream about the baby. I had a little baby girl! The dream was odd because in normal circumstances I would've been so stressed and freaking out (what I do best) but instead, I was just so obsessed with my little baby girl that I didn't care about anything else.
I had the little girl on January 18 (2 days before my birthday). I don't recall her having a name, just know when she was born. She was the most beautiful baby ever. She had gray eyes. I have no idea where she got those from, but they were amazingly beautiful. She just laid in my arms with a big smile on her face and eyes closed.
Then, I realized, I didn't have ANYTHING. I didnt' know how to do ANYTHING. Oddly enough, I didn't care like I normally would. The one thing that I was freaking out about was breast feeding. I was upset that I didn't read any books and that I didn't rub my nipples with a warm wash cloth. Yeah, weird - but the reason I dreamt this is because my coworker, Todd, was telling me that I need to prepare my nipples for breast feeding. I know, strange advice coming from a male co-worker, but he's so excited for me and loves telling me things about when his wife and daughter were pregnant. In my dream, I was frantically looking for books and asking people how to breast feed. I was determined that I was going to breast feed my little girl.
Today, I'm going to start reading all my fun books and will learn the tricks of getting my nipples ready. LOL!

okay, God, you answered my prayer - I KNOW there's a baby in there!
So, last week, when I was freaking about losing weight and not having a baby in my belly anymore, I prayed long and hard - "God, please give me any sign that I'm still pregnant - I want to feel pregnant." Well, he totally answered my prayer, and now I'm ready for it to stop!
Most women get sick in the first trimester only and literally count down the days until they get to their 12/13 weeks. I have been bragging, almost, about the fact that I haven't been sick and was approaching the end of my first trimester. Well, with my wonderful prayer, God answered it by giving me morning sickness - I take that back, not morning sickness, but the 6, 10, 3, 7 sickness which means I've been puking as soon as I get out of the shower at 6:00am, when I get to the office at 10:00am, after lunch sometime around 3:00pm and at night around 7:00pm.
This has gone on from Monday through Saturday of this week. I have yet to throw up today - Yay! I'll let you know how this one goes. All in all, I have had it MUCH better than a lot of pregnant women I know and am thankful for that, but also I'm ready for the puking to be done. After all, it's not too fun to puke behind my car on the construction site or hiding under my desk with my trash can up to my mouth!
Crave This!
I'm going to start posting my cravings as their fun and random. I like all food still so that's good - and yes, I'm EATING!
- Mashed Potatoes and Brown Gravy
- Sour Kraut
- Green Olives: I love these so maybe it's not a craving...and I like them in Tomato juice -it's the "Adriane Bloody Mary" haha!
- Root Beer
- Bagel with Cream Cheese and strawberry jelly
Hubby Love:
This section will be for fun and cute Dave quotes
- [It's 6am and I'm puking in my bathroom] "Honey, thank you for making us a baby!"
- "While I was in the bathroom this morning, I was thinking of girl names since all I've been thinking of is names for boys I first thought of "A" names and was thinking in terms of spelling the names. The first name I thought of was A-N-A then I was thinking of adding letters on the end and L was the first one that came to mind. Yeah, A-N-A-L - I was thinking of naming our girl, Anal - NOT GOOD!" HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha

Warm jelly on my belly
"The baby looks good!"
Just the words I was hoping to hear :). Dave and I went to see Dr. Sawyer today for my 11-12 weeks check up and everything looked good. My weight is back up and I weighed exactly what I did last time.
Dave and I went back to the patient room to wait for Dr. Sawyer. We didn't wait long until Dr. Sawyer came storming in after a busy morning. He was a little behind and just got back from vacation so he spoke fast while he did his thing. He squirted some warm jelly on my belly, tried listening for the heart beat - but it's not loud enough yet - so then he just went right to the ultra sound.
The yolk sack is almost gone. We could totally see the little head and the little body - it's a baby! No more worries here - God has amazing plans for this little one.
Now, I'm so ready for that baby belly! It's like I envy any woman that walks past me with a belly, holding it and rubbing it often with a small smirk on their face. I know it will soon come and I'll probably want it to go away, but I'm ready NOW!

Sickness...not what you'd think!
So here I am - officiallly 11 weeks pregnant. Two more weeks until I graduate to the 2nd trimester. I haven't had morning sickness except for one day (as I mentioned in the last post) but I am sick sick for the THIRD time. I think this is the sickest I've ever been. All I have to say is...
I'm a little scared.
I came home on Wednesday feeling feverish - I had a temperature of 99.9, which is pretty high for me seeing that my normal temp is usually 96.something. I felt aweful. Not only did I feel bad, I had to feel bad and be sick by myself as Dave took off on a plane earlier that day to Jackson Hole on his annual mancatioin with Dusty and the boys. I didn't sleep very well Wednesday night and the fever just lingered on. Thank goodness I can take tylenol as that's the only thing that kept it down a little.
I woke on Thursday and felt like a truck ran over my head! Every muscle in my face and head hurt. I felt hot. I couldn't stop shaking. I couldn't stop coughing. It was uncomfortable to breathe. I was alone (well, thank goodness I had Rocco).
I called my boss, Missie, at 9:30am and left a message telling her I was sick and that I wanted to go to the doctor but definitely couldn't drive. Being a saint that she is - she called me right back and insisted she take me to the doctor. That meant she would have to drive 30 minutes to my house, 25 minutes to the doctor, wait for however long, take me to the pharmacy and wait, and then drive me home 25 minutes later. If I was feeling better I would've declined but I couldn't wait to go so I agreed for her to pick me up. She's amazing! I'm so blessed to work with such great people!!!
When I went to the doctor, the first thing they did (and always do) is weigh me. I weighed 118 lbs - 8 lbs less than I weighed when I saw Dr. Sawyer four weeks ago. I was very concerned. They took my temp but didn't tell me what it read and so I don't think I had a fever. I waited in the room for about 20-25 minutes lying in fetal position and fell asleep. I felt terrible. I had to see a different doctor than I typically see because my doctor was extremely booked for the day. When he finally came in, he did the "check up" and just said that I wasn't wheezing and that I couldn't take any meds except he could prescribe me amoxicilin. I then asked if my weight loss is a danger to the baby and he wouldn't answer my question!!!
Once again, I'm scared - but the Lord will keep me strong and pull me through.
All the doctor said was that I should start to gain. Okay, not answering my quesetion so I asked again. He asked me if I'd be spotting - No, I haven't - please answer my question! All he ended up telling me was to eat. Great medical advice - my weight is low, so I need to eat...hmmmm. He did ask me when I see the OBGYN next and I told him Monday so he said they'd weigh me then - no, really?
I came home and SLEPT. My fever kept coming and going. I kept waking because of the fever. I woke at 4:30am needing water. I went downstairs, got some water and as I was walking upstairs I started to throw up. I ran to the bathroom and threw up for a good 20 minutes. Well, I guess I wouldn't call it throwing up since all that was going into the toilet was acid. I would take a break and drink water but then would continue to vomit. Not good. I took my temperature and it was 102.4 - the highest I can ever remember it being.
I called Kim as she was just getting off of work as it was 7:30am her time and she worked the night shift. She thought I should go to the hospital. I decided to take some tylenol, put an ice pack on my head, sleep and then see how I was. I ended up sleeping until 10:30am and when I woke I only had a temperature of 98.9. I was excited but still felt awful.
Brittni drove all the way down from Surprise to bring me gingerale and soup - I am so thankful to have such great friends. The gingerale helped a lot. I had to eat in small increments as I didn't have an appetite at all.
I talked to Dave a little and feel so bad that he has to worry about me while he's supposed to be having a great time. Hopefully he is having a great time.
Last night, I only woke up two times - 12:30pm to pee and 5:00am again to pee. NO FEVER either time! I then slept in until 9:30am. I came downstairs to have some breakfast while Rocco stayed in bed...he's so cute! I have a little bit of an appetite! I watched Serendipity for the first time - cute movie - then I joined Rocco in bed for a little more sleepy time. We napped until 2:30pm. I tried to sleep longer but couldn't as it was pretty warm in the bedroom. When I woke up, I had missed calls and texts from Brittni and Stacy worried that they couldn't get a hold of me. I felt awful but I put my phone on silent so that I could sleep as I've been getting a lot of calls and texts but I really need my sleep.
When I got up, I still didn't have a fever but I felt really weird - and that brings me to now. I still feel weird - sick - don't feel good at all! At least my fever is gone and I can breathe out of my nose. Trying to look at the positive things.
I continue to pray that the baby is okay and that the weight loss is not a sign. I guess I better get off of here and do what the doctor says - EAT.
I pray for you, baby, that you are continuing to grow and continuing to get strong.
I love you,
mommy.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz and the PEANUT Picture
So much has happened already and it's only been eight weeks. Yep! I'm officially EIGHT weeks pregnant. I'm slowly getting my energy back. No one ever told me how tired I would feel in the very beginning. I could barely make it through a work day; every day I'm home (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) - nap time was at 1:00pm sharp! And bedtime was no later than 8; most nights I was out by 7:15am.
I am proud to announce that I went to bed at 9:00pm last night. However, I did take a 2 hour nap. I would like to mention that I worked out at the gym right after I woke up though. See, I'm totally getting my energy back!
We got to see our little PEANUT! I had my first ultra sound with Dr. Sawyer (who we absolutely love - he's amazing!) on Friday. I was nervous since it wasn't going to be a tummy ultra sound - but it was totally fine and painless. We could see the little heart beat beating - a true blessing from God. I might not have a belly yet, but there is something in there - and that something is another love, MY BABY! Dave was super excited as he sat next to me making jokes whenever he could. I just love my family.
Oh! One last thought - morning sickness. So far, I've been super blessed and *supposedly, I'm 2/3's of the way through until the safe zone. And the record so far - one morning of throwing up, and two of dry heaves. Not bad, if you ask me. And I totally felt awesome afterwards.
Everything is going well - I'm just eagerly waiting for my belly :).
