So, I wanted to make a blog strictly dedicated to my pregnancy. I was thinking about buying one of those pregnancy journals, but I decided I will just make a blog and print it all out at the end. Right now I am almost 10 weeks pregnant, but tomorrow morning we will have a better idea of how far along I am because we get our first ultra sound!
Things have been going well so far. Besides being paranoid some days, since losing our first pregnancy, and besides morning sickness, I feel pretty good. I have a lot more symptoms this time than I did last time I was pregnant, and I know every pregnancy is different and some women don't have symptoms and have healthy pregnancies, and blah blah blah, but it is actually comforting to me that I am throwing up and feeling exhausted.
I have had some food cravings but nothing very strong yet. I really want KFC and Chips though, how healthy does that sound? So far I've only had one bag of chips and have resisted the KFC. I am trying to stick to healthier options, but I will indulge in these cravings occasionally. I had some Salt and Vinegar chips last night and they were to die for! So crunchy. Delicious. I am noticing that the smells of certain foods really bothers me. I make Kyle eggs in the mornings and smelling them makes me feel disgusting. Meat smells gross too, raw and cooked. Some days everything I eat tastes disgusting, and other days everything tastes delicious.
I am having troubles sleeping most nights. I just can't seem to get comfortable. I also have really weird dreams now, and a lot of them have been scary, so I wake up a lot in the night. I can't seem to get a solid nights sleep anymore. It is nice to be able to take naps during the day.
That is all I can think of for now! Tomorrow morning at 9 I get an ultra sound to see how far along I am and hear a heart beat! I am so very excited. I am so thankful to be pregnant. I am so thankful that my prayers were heard and answered and now we can start our family.
PS. As I am sitting here trying to itch the itchy spot on my back I just can't reach, I thought of another tid bit to add! My skin is SUPER dry and it itches like crazy because of the dryness. Mostly my back, legs, and face. My skin has never been this dry, it is crazy. I slather lotion on and it sucks it right up and still feels just as dry as before. Itchy itchy itchy dry dry dry!!!
I love that you're blogging this! You will love it too! Especially in future pregnancies, because surprisingly you'll forget things and wonder what is normal and not, and you'll be able to come back here and read what you've been through! I remember hearing that you were expecting before, right when I lost my pregnancy, and then I never saw your stomach grow, so I figured you lost the pregnancy too. I'm so sorry you had to go through that! It stinks hey?? (That's an understatement!!) I fully understand the paranoia of the next pregnancy, I was sooo worried until that wonderful moment when I heard the heart beat! I'm excited for you to hear your baby's!! Have fun tomorrow!! I'll be looking forward to hearing about it!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily :) It really does stink. I'm sorry for you as well, but it really gets better over time, and especially when you hear a heart beat of the next baby - I agree! :)
