Week 9 and Counting

Week 9 starts today. This past few days have been worse than ever. I need a nap constantly, and my morning sickness has peaked (or I hope this is as bad as it gets). I am not puking, but the thought of eating is enough to send me running under covers and just lay there until I fall asleep.

I haven't had a proper meal for a few days now - can my baby shrivel up if I don't eat properly? I skipped my vitamin for one day too.

As I'm writing, I'm trying to gulp down some yogurt. I bought some this morning not knowing that this is natural yogurt - meaning no sugar. It's not good. Not good at all.

I also had a bag of chips yesterday AND today. So nutritious.

I can barely make my day through work, I'm not entirely sure how I thought I was going to be able to work from home raising a brand new baby. And if we have twins? I can't even think about it.

2.5 more weeks til my mom and my sister are in town. I'm getting very antsy waiting for their arrival. I'm going to make sure the whole thing is video taped.

I should add one more time that under no circumstances should you go online or read birth stories in magazines. Or when your friends start telling you horrible stories about child birth, you should stop them. It is not doing me or my mental health any good thinking about all the possible things that COULD happen.

Geesh.

I have been completely anti-social. I wonder if people have noticed yet. Or if they've been too busy to pay attention to just how tired I look every time they see me and how much I don't converse with others.

I'm selfish enough to think that other people only think about me :p

Ok, 31 more weeks to go!

    Just in case your vitamins are still making you sick... Look into the Sweet Momma brand - they're supposed to be awesome for women who have trouble w/ sickness.

Humbled by a Contest

About 18 months ago, Bryan and I went through some challenges in our relationship. We were at a point where we were deciding to stay together or separate amicably. It was both a chaotic and peaceful time for us. Chaotic about the unknown, but so much peace that no matter what happened at the end, we had nothing but love for each other. In the midst of it all, I had read about 8 books in 2 months to keep me occupied in the chaos. Then I stumbled onto a book that changed me.  It was a book on my wish list for the past 10 years. Yes, 10 years. And I am not sure what prompted it, but I finally bought the book. I won't go too much into Conversations with God. You can get it and read it if you'd like. It was exactly what I needed at that moment (isn't that always the way?). It gave me the peace I needed to let go of whatever ideas I had about our marriage. And from there, Bryan and I demolished what was, and built something new. A shift happened that I finally truly learned t

And Here He Is...

I haven't had much time to think about writing because well, juggling 3 kids takes up a lot of time! I'm sitting here with maybe 5 minutes to spare before the baby will need attention again, so I better get to typing quick! Each pregnancy has been so different. With Mackenzie, I was miserable for the first 22 weeks with morning sickness, and then I felt like I could be pregnant forever! With Bryanna, I was miserable for the entire 39 weeks. I could not wait for her to get out! With this one, I was miserable for the first 20 weeks with morning sickness, and then great for 17 weeks, and then the last 3 weeks...well, let's just say there were some tears. With it being one of the hottest summers, I could not wait for this baby to get out! Plus the inconvenience of not being able to pick up the girls when I wanted to, or bend down to give them a kiss - I just wanted to be mobile again! So when my first consistent contractions came I was so excited. We even took one last wa

Week 36 - Almost Cooked!

Or as my friend Tara would put it - almost marinated. Baby can come anytime now, but could use 4 more weeks of baking (or at least I could use it). The sleepless nights have begun. I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable as I walk, sleep, and eat. I can only walk so much before I'm out of breath. It takes me a minimum of an hour to fall asleep. And well, I'm feeling pretty nauseous these days, so food is to a minimum. All this is preparing me for when the baby comes, I can't wait! (note sarcasm) Had my baby shower this past weekend and it was great! The ladies in charge did a great job decorating and a lot of people made it out, which was awesome. We bought our first baby item this week - a playpen from Babies R' Us (it was 40% off, I couldn't resist!). Next up on the list is a stroller. STILL trying to figure that out. On top of that, I'm now on the hunt for cloth diapers. Do we just buy the package deal now, or buy a few to try it out to see if we even
