Soooo...We're having a baby!!! Yay! Now I can blog about my baby and quit stalking other peoples! Just kidding!...
I'll be seven weeks on Sunday the 7th! We found out at 4 weeks and I managed to keep my mouth shut! My sister swore she knew last week or so because my face looked swollen. Our families are super excited, and so are we!
Here's the low down, the elephant sized purple colored pre natal vitamins I've been taking make me feel like poo. I realized they were making me sick moreso than anything. I now wake up and drink a glass of water, eat a few saltines and pop a mint in my mouth while I get ready in the mornings. Then I'm chugging a Sprite on the way out the door and eat about a whole pack of Saltines when I get to work.
I'm usually the energizer bunny and am always, ALWAYS doing something, and now it's all I can do to get out of the bed in the mornings and to not hit the couch the minute I get home at night. I'm just so tired!
I went to the doctor last week and I weighed 132.6, which means I've already put on a little since the last time I went just for my neurology appts. I have a physical on Monday so I can't wait to see what I'll weigh then. My favorite two things, Coke and Chocalate now taste like the bottom of my foot, which is God's gift to me to get healthy! I've been eating Saltines, and carrots and haven't fried anything in the past week or so.. I'm trying to slowly replace all the bad eating habits I have. I guess the "metallic" taste in your mouth is going to hold true for me.
Learning how to sit still and rest and let people help me is going to be the biggest challege.. Becca, Kristin, Melissa and all the other mommies reading my blog, please fill free to share your wisdom!
Love you!
