Queasy- McQueaserson

Well, crap.

Today was rough. So was yesterday. I'm starting to notice a trend in the nausea these days, haha. Today probably takes the cake, though. Absolutely NOTHING has sounded good to eat. I think there was one moment where I'm like, hey, mcdonalds sounds good. I've probably said this twice in the past year and both times have been during the past eight weeks. I never want mcdonalds. ever. I will eat it on rare occasion when my husband wants nuggets, but that's really about it. But I do LOVE their orange hi-c drink. Nom nom nom. Either way, it was the only thing I thought I could eat today but somehow we end up going to eat at the chinese restaurant. Well, that was a mistake. I got my plate and probably took about 5 to 6 bites of it. With each bite I kept chewing slower and slower.... I felt like the slower I was going to chew my food and get it down the less likely it was that I would have an upchuck attack in the middle of the place. Well I made it through our fifteen minute meal. Still feel like hell and made that I wasted 16 dollars on food when I probably ate a dollars worth. Crap.

WHAT AM I GOING TO EAT?

Man, it was rough from the moment I woke up today. I wouldn't say that I'm to the point where I should just shack up in the bathroom because I've yet to have any vomiting sessions, but I feel like any moment it could happen. I'm just that close. That's the part that drives me crazy. 

So later in the night I start feeling like I NEED to eat something. I didn't want to, but I could tell that I needed to. So what do I eat? Absolutely nothing sounds good. In fact, if I looked in the freezer at something to warm up fast it could have been a bad moment. Haha. So I remember reading something on one of the boards on babycenter about someone wanting peanut butter... Soo.

Its peanut butter jelly time! No really. I got up and made three pieces of toast and put peanut butter and jelly on them. Best idea I had all day!!! I felt better immediately.It was delicious!!!

I might have just found my new fix. 

I heard that right around nine weeks the symptoms kind of hit the motherload. I feel as if that's exactly what is going on because I'm just a few days shy of the 9 week mark. 

And only 4 days shy of my first ultrasound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekly Update

Totally just saw this on another blog, two of them actually. I decided to use it as well so I can have something to look back on throughout the next 32 weeks of preg-o-ness.

How far along? 7 Weeks and 4 days.

Total weight gain/loss: I refuse to keep track of this, lol.

 Maternity clothes? Nope.

Best moment this week: Calling my doctor's office and speaking with the nurse about my HCG levels. At 7 weeks and two days my levels were at 31,000. My nurses response "you're definitely pregnant". Made me laugh.

Miss anything: Driving without having the feeling that I need to pull over from the nausea.

Movement: Not far along enough.

  Food cravings: I really don't think I'm having too many of these just yet. The thought of food in general pretty much makes me want to throw up except for certain times of the day.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Movement, lol.   

Have you started to show yet: Nope.

  Gender: Who knows! Nephew said he thought it was going to be a girl...

Labor Signs: Nooo!

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm blah from the exhaustion and nausea right now.

Looking forward to: My first ultrasound in 8 days!!

Dangit, Baby.

Oh my gosh. Listen. I know you are a little miracle but yesterday when I woke up I was really not happy with your behavior. HAHA.

 I remember waking up and telling myself, "oh my gosh, this is it, I'm not getting out of puking this time. its definitely coming up." You know that feeling when all you need to do to make it all come up is go get near that damn evil porcelain object located in the bathroom? Yeah. If I had gotten near that thing yesterday morning I would have been stuck there until at least noon. I don't know how many times in my life I've just grabbed a pillow and a blanket and just passed out in the bathroom floor thinking that it was any moment I was going to need to sit up right and hurl. Yesterday though, I was hell-bent on not allowing that to happen. For one, I didn't want to get up because I was afraid I wouldn't make it. I'd much rather make it to the bathroom and get it over with than make if halfway there and then frantically having to search for the # for stanley steamers. (I'm not cleaning that mess up!) So anyway, I woke up, felt like death and I remember telling my husband he made a mean baby. I laid there for a few more minutes just trying to breath in some fresh air and then took a few drinks of water. (I keep a stash of 16.9 fl oz bottles of water located on the headboard). Breath in..breath out.. gulp..Breath in..breath out.. gulp. 

Four hours later (approximately 12:44 pm) I wake up.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't become best enemies with the toilet!!!! Yesterday was a success, for the most part.

After my first doctors appointment Wednesday, things still don't feel so real. I do remember sitting in the doctors office waiting for the nurse to come back in after I peed in the cup and almost halfway getting emotional. The last time I was in there was just for a regular pap exam and now I'm officially in the office as an OB patient. Surreal. Crazy. 

The doctor checked my uterus and it seems to be, uh, cooperating. Everything is moving right along. Did all my blood work and I left with an ultrasound scheduled for 12 days afterwards and another doctors appointment for 27 days later. 

That makes my first ultrasound officially eight days from today. I think this is the moment where I will see proof (other than exhaustion and nausea) of the life my husband and I have created... !
