So I thought I would just update everyone on some of the pregnancy symptoms I have been experiencing. Before I even knew I was pregnant, I had some pretty bad cramps and fatigue. I remember being in my kitchen talking to my mother in law and I had a sharp pain and a cramp and they didn't really stop until I was about 6 weeks pregnant. Now I just have stretching pain and what feels like air bubbles moving around occasionally. I still have sickness, but it's gotten wayyyyy better. Now I only throw up once a day, if that. My Dr prescribed me zofran though for those rough days, but I havent had to use them yet. The fatigue is still here. The weekdays are hectic with Ben being back in school and all, so our weekends consist of nothing. We literally don't get out of our pj's unless absolutely necessary. Even when my family came over to eat this past weekend, I wore some pj's. I think we are actually going to try getting to the beach this weekend and go crabbing with my family. We'll see!
Food cravings or aversions: I guess I forgot to mention that I lost 15 pounds since I became pregnant. Anything greasy just really makes me so sick. So I'm pretty much sticking to veggies and some chicken. Pretzels, gushers, and applesauce have become my snack buddies. I haven't really had any cravings except homemade tacos, and a milkshake one night. Ben wanted one too though, so I don't know who was pushing the idea of milkshakes more.
Changing the subject, I have been thinking of funny Halloween costumes to wear this year. My belly wont be big enough to paint like a pumpkin, and I have to have something appropriate for work, so what other than something to do with Harry Potter?! My brother Thomas, who, I'm gonna go ahead and confess, knows EVERYTHING there is to know about HP, has given me a few suggestions that are hilarious. Hardly any of my friends will get it, but my favorite so far is a shirt that says "I hope my kid isn't a squib". If I for some reason find out the sex of the baby before Halloween, then I will probably do something related to that.
Our 3 year anniversary is coming up on September 20th, and because it's on a Tuesday this year, we will celebrate it the following weekend. Our past two anniversary's were spent on the Ocean and in the Bahamas, as we took a cruise. But this year we decided if we were going to start trying for a baby in September, then we might want to save that $1,000+ for baby. Well, as it turned out, we got pregnant earlier than we expected. We weren't really trying and we weren't preventing either, and we became pregnant on our first 'try'. so I'm glad we didn't book a cruise after all. Our plans are to go to Tallahassee and and have dinner and stay at Hotel Duval. Its a super chic hotel that is extremely modern. We stayed there in October of last year for my birthday and loved it.
Well, time for bed!
