So Happy :)

It's finally starting to seem real. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is feel my belly. In the morning, before I get up, I can feel my bulging uterus and it just makes me smile. That seems kinda weird to say, but its true. I know my baby is in there swimming around, and growing everyday and it just makes me so happy.

I'm also starting to show. Jason says my belly is bigger everyday, especially at night. It's huge at night! I'm getting so excited about this baby, not that I wasn't excited before, it just seems so much more real now. There have been 2 times that I *may* have felt the baby move, but since I've never felt it I'm not sure. Hopefully in a few more weeks I will start to feel it on a regular basis.

My next doctors appointment is next Friday, I can't wait to hear the heartbeat again! Here's a pic of my belly at 14 weeks and 2 days :)

Rough Day

I have been so lucky throughout this pregnancy. All my symptoms have been mild, I've had almost no morning sickness at all except for an occasional incident while brushing my teeth.

Sunday night before going to bed I started to get a headache. It got worse until it became a full blown migraine, the worst I have ever experienced. I couldn't sleep at all, I was just sitting in bed crying from the pain. I couldn't keep any food or liquid down, as soon as I took a sip I would be running to the bathroom. My husband went to the store at 3 am to get tylenol for me, I took it and kept it down for 15 mins before getting sick again. I think that let me get just enough medicine in me to fall asleep for two hours. The morning wasn't any better, I still couldn't keep anything down. Finally at 3 in the afternoon, my doctor had called in some anti-nausea medication and a pregnancy-safe migraine medicine. As soon as I took those I started feeling better. I hope I don't have to deal with that anymore, but now at least I have medication on hand that will help.

In other news, I'm wearing maternity pants today! I don't have a huge bump yet, but my pants were just getting too tight. I'm so glad I sucked it up and bought some, because I'm so much more comfortable now. Yay for stretchy pants!

Cravings...

I've been craving a variety, so far...

Corn Chex, anytime of day or night
Cheese Pizza, specifically from Domino's
Ramen noodles...I want these ALL the time!
Fries, from anywhere
Fruit: Pineapple, peaches, granny smith apples, and strawberries...finally something healthy!

So, unfortunately, most my cravings have not been the healthiest. I'm trying to make up for it when I'm not having one of these cravings, but it's more difficult than I thought it would be!

Also, pregnant people should not be sent grocery shopping! I went yesterday and ended up with a cart-full of stuff that just "looked good" at the time. Oh well, at least we have plenty of snacks in the house now.
