It's been too long

It's been so long since I've updated.

Not much has been going on here, just the same ol' same ol'. Last week I got super sick. I ended up having a 24 hour bug but I threw up for about 15 hours straight. I haven't felt that bad in a LONG time. I'm just glad that it's over and I feel better.

I'm now 8 weeks and 3 days. I went for a prenatal class today where I had to fill out all of my medical history and all of that good stuff. I go for my first ultrasound on May 12. I am so excited. I'll be 10 weeks and 3 days at that time so it should look like a baby for the most part, not a blob. 

Daniel and I love this little baby like none other. All I can think about is what I'm having, what he/she will look like, if it will have it's daddy's perfect feet/hands and my bright blue eyes. I've fallen in love with the possibilities. 

Nana(my mom) is absolutely nuts. All she wants to do is buy stuff. It's wayyy too soon for all of that-haha. Although I feel her craze.

Btw- I'm jealous of you in VA getting 80 degree weather. I live on a stinkin' tropical island and it's been sooo chilly here. I'm ready for beach weather so I can go lay out!

I've had a craving for Dari Barn. All of you from Wise Co. know what I'm talking about. I want a huge peanut butter milkshake & an order of cheesesticks so bad it's killing me! :) Someone eat some for me-hahaha!

Be thankful...

Sorry it's been so long. The past week or so I haven't felt so great.

Last week was Spring Break for me and it felt so good to just sleep in. I was sleeping until 10am and sometimes till 11. If you know me, you know this is odd. I wake up at 7am even when I don't have to work. It was very nice & much needed.

I've been feeling so sick since last Thursday. I had to start taking a 3 day dose of  antibiotics for a UTI that they found in my prenatal labs. Since then I have felt HORRIBLE. I started running a fever. My fever would break and I would be covered in sweat. I was tired the whole time and very nauseous. Last night Daniel said I was radiating heat. I ended up sleeping with a fan blowing directly in my face. I didn't get much sleep last night. Absolutely nothing seems appetizing to me. I would much rather not eat, but I know that they baby needs food. Today I decided to take the day off of work since I woke up at about 5:30 throwing up. There was nothing to throw up but stomach bile. Disgusting. 

But then I went into work to pick up Kate from school(what an easy day) and I ran into one of my old neighbors. I told her I was pregnant and the first thing she said was, 'How do you feel?'. Of course I tell her that I feel like absolute death and she said, "That's a good thing". She told be about a miscarriage she had and that the whole time she was pregnant she never got sick so she just knew something was wrong. 

So the whole point of this blog is this. As much as I whine and complain about being sick & so over pregnancy, I truly am thankful and feel so blessed. After talking to my old neighbor today I thought about all of the people that I know having a hard time conceiving and people that have had multiple miscarriages. I can't even imagine how you feel.. And to see me complaining about such a blessing. I'm very sorry. I do not take this for granted. I love this baby growing inside of me so much that it hurts.  I know that it will be so worth it in the end. 

Saturday I will be 7 weeks. I think I'm already showing. A lot of people are noticing that I'm pregnant if I wear tight clothing. So when I turn 8 weeks, get ready for pics :)

Also, Congrats to Tori & Brandon Bevins. They welcomed baby Olivia into the world. Can't wait to see pics of her. I'm sure she's beautiful!!!

Sesame Seeds & Cantaloupes

My baby is now the size of a sesame seed. It's heart should start pumping blood & beating this week.  I'm amazed.

My boobs are the size of cantaloupes. I can only imagine what they'll be when this pregnancy is over. I'll have enough fruit for everyone :)

I've been looking more and more into cloth diapering. Why do I have to have such expensive taste? All of the ones that I really like are like 24 dollars or more. LOL.  We are going to start buying up now so that when the baby gets here, it will be all set. They are expensive to start up, but I know we will have more than one baby so they'll pay for themselves in the end & help our environment all at the same time. Who knew I would ever become so tree-huggin' hippie? Recycling, disposable diapers, green products. Oh my! 

What do you think about North Korea and it's missile launch? I was laying on the couch today, flipping through the channels when the "BREAKING NEWS" came on. I can't believe they went through with it. I think we should just take them out and get over it. If the missile launches are successful Iraq/Afghanistan/Iran etc. will all jump on the bandwagon.  I can only imagine what will come of it.  

Welp, I'm off to lay down. I have an entire week off. How exciting! :)

You are the promise I knew God would keep.

So I haven't posted anything in a while and a lot has changed. Most everyone that follows me here in blogger is also my friend on myspace or facebook and knows that I'm knocked up. :)

At first I was completely in shock and didn't know if I could be happy with this. Now I couldn't be happier. I love this little baby so much already that my heart could explode.

I'm so emotional. I read on babycenter everyday how my baby is growing and what is going on with it's development each week. I cry everytime. Right now my little baby is an embryo the size of a poppyseed and starting to form it's organs. To me, that is so crazy.

Lately the baby hasn't hated me as much at night as it used to. Thank God. I can finally eat without my stomach feeling all funky.  My body must REALLY love milk right now though. This is something I HATE but it's all that I can drink right now. It's all I crave.

I have to say that Daniel has been absolutely amazing thus far. He cleans up every night. I haven't had to do a single dish in over a week and this makes me a very happy wife/mommy.

I will be 5 weeks tomorrow. Only 3-4 more weeks until we get an ultrasound. I know I wont be able to see much but it will make me so happy to finally see something inside of me. Other than looking at the pictures.

Okay, I'm rambling on. I can't really concentrate. Just wanted to write a few things down.

Now I will leave you lyrics to a song that I'm absolutely in love with.
