Week 15, going on 16

I am sad, happy, sad, sad, happy, sad, happy, anxious, flippant, omg... my emotional roller coaster is a bit nutty lately, but it's hormonal.. not the meds! Or at least that's what I am telling myself.

On a better note, I am starting to show and Neil seems pretty excited about this! I am really not fitting into my regular pants, even though my work jeans will have to make it for a while so we can get stuff done around the house (I just hold them together with a hair band and a blue bella band). I have given into to the fact that prego pants are the most comfortable thing invented, not sure why more people wouldn't want to wear them! The microfiber stretchy material around your waist.. fabulous! Now my work pants have an elastic waist band, and I hate it, I will probably change that with some of my hand stich work.. trip to Jo-Annes in my near future!

Well as some have noticed I have also been cleaning my facebook up. I have been removing folks that I am not truely friends with, and man this has caused some major stir. I thought people wouldn't mind if they were taken off.. figured they would just go about thier business but seems that it was a major point of contention and cost us one of our couple friends. They don't want to see "us" any more. Amazing.. the things you don't know. But here's the deal, why should I open my personal life, my blog, my family, my friends and suscept them to people I don't talk to and well... that could hurt me or any one of us? I see no reason to include them in my life right now. Now if we became true friends, then I would see keeping them in my "circle" but well... life is too short and I am too crabby/anxious/emotional to keep around the dead weight. Sigh.. there is never a right answer is what I know. It's just amazing that a silly thing like facebook is gonna hurt a friendship that has lasted over 6 years. Was it all really worth it in the end?

Ok, need to move to a lighter note... I have a doc's appointment on Tuesday! I also am pretty sure we are coming up on our next big ultrasound.. and with a better, more powerful machine so they can see more. I can't wait! For those that know me they would be able to see that I am kinda pregnant now, and it's exciting to see it come together. The babe should be about 4-5 inches long by now (from the readings) and sucking it's thumb!

Severe indigestion has begun to creep in though.. so eating smaller portions and foods that irritate less have become my way of surviving. I also keep the Maloxx handy for now.. but I try not to ingest anything unnatural for the sake of the little guy or gal.

I am overwhelmed with joy about the pregnancy and worrisome that something will go wrong. I suppose that is or was everyone's issues.. you worry until you see them come out and with all fingers and toes and healthy. We can't wait, I love hearing other stories about other's pregnancies and babies (thanks Harmony, Jim, Shawna). Keep em coming!

Well as for now and this weekend, need to get hopping! I am tiling the bathroom today in the upstairs hallway and Neil is closing up some walls downstairs in the kitchen so we him and his brother can hang kitchen cabinets up next week! It's all so exciting!!!! Our house is coming together slowly. It's such a slow painful process but we keep trying to keep our "eyes on the prize" and how great it will be in the end.

THanks for any and all support!!!!

Week 13!

We have fingerprints! Or so babycenter.com weekly update tells me. So it's now 2nd trimester and I am feeling a helluva lot better than I was, even though I didn't vomit once! I was so very lucky! But some folks seem to think because I didn't get sick, it will be a boy... hmm... we will see.

Hormones have been definitely at work though, making some days harder than they need to be. I frequently tire within seconds of being active and other times I cry for pretty much nothing... it does not take much!

Did you know the baby is now making pee? and then drinking it because it goes into the amniotic fluids? The things you never needed to know about yourself right? There are all sorts of interesting things that I never wanted to know.

So I have finally found that sleeping with my teddy bear between my legs is the way to go, I can pee twice a night without it truly interrupting my sleep, I still get up around 0500-0530 which is good for work but not good for the end of the day when I can't keep my eyes open but it works.

Well my brother was in town this past weekend and we did my work, D.C. (Sea and Air museum, cherry blossoms, Japanese Festival, and Blessing of the Fleets at the Navy Memorial. We also went to Baltimore for brunch and people watching this weekend it was nice to see my brother and enjoy a couple spring days.

Ok well as far as pregnancy goes the picture above does not express how I feel though.. I feel so much bigger than that picture looks, but oh well.. guess the picture is not going to lie to me.

Ok, well more updates to come, I am visiting mom next week and can't wait!!
