Phew, this baby is kicking my butt before it even reaches two inches in height!
Last night we went for a quick grocery shopping trip. Dh and I looked like quite the pair! He was favoring his hurt knee, and I couldn't put weight on my right leg because my back was knotted up so badly from nerves, which led to me basically hobbling and dragging my leg. Turns out that wasn't the best thing to do - by the time we reached the check out, I needed to sit down. By the time we reached the doors, I had to stop in the middle of the road because I needed a couple minutes (or hours) to make my legs work again. DH put the groceries by the car and then carried me the rest of the way. I never experienced my body freezing up like that. It was so painful I was almost in tears. And from what I hear, the only way to relieve sciatic nerve pain is by...more pain! Massaging and icing, along with certain exercizes that create more pain than the sciatic nerve is doing itself.
Today, I set out to get the house cleaned, since it's overflowing with Christmas boxes and dishes. I decided to tackle the dishes, and got about five done before I had a throwing up marathon. It seems like every time I take the B6 vitamins - which are supposed to help morning sickness! - I puke less than a minute later. It's a very bitter pill, and I'm pretty sure it's doing the opposite than attended!
Everyone always says that vomitting makes you feel better. I think my body is deciding to skip that step now that it's pregnant. I never feel better after throwing up. In fact, I usually feel worse. My stomach hurts from heaving and just in general and my throat gets so sore and scratchy. Let alone the fact that I want to throw up again from knowing that I just threw up!
It's a never ending cycle.

Part two
Today was a fun continuation of Christmas decorating! I went out for a few hours to quite a few stores to pick up decorations with a few friends. Turns out I didn't quite buy enough of everything!
I decorated the tree the best I could - the bottom of the tree is bare of lights and balls, and we only have a handful of decorations so far (wow are they expensive in stores!)
I got four stockings, two of the same for DH and I, one with paws on it for Sophie and one for baby that has a pocket in the front with the words "Letter To Santa", which I thought was adorable. They were the first things I hung up when I got back home.
The tree continues to baffle my mind. I bought three or four packs of lights for it, and it still needs at least one more! And that's only covering maybe three fourths of the width of the tree, since the back is against a corner. I got red and gold balls with different glitter and velvet designs on them (8 of each) but I clearly need 6 - 8 more (I'd like to get some that are red with gold glitter to fit it all together)
I got quite a bit sick today while out shopping, so I decided to pick up some B6 vitamins and see if they help out. Besides being sick for about a half hour or so, I felt pretty good. Being outside always helps make the morning sickness fade. If only it wasn't so cold all the time!
My belly feels a bit bigger. Not noticable to other people, but my hand seems to have a subconscious magnet to my lower belly that is slowly getting a harder as it grows. I'm getting excited to start feeling more, along with my ultrasound in about two weeks.
I'm also hoping that by Christmas (when I'm around 13 weeks) that the sickness will be mostly gone. I keep thinking of some amazing desserts to make for Christmas that I'm really hoping to be able to fulfill. I miss baking. I used to bake pies, cookies and cakes almost every day and I haven't done a single one for almost two months!

This is the champagne "Our First Christmas" ornamnet I got DH last year. It seemed like a fitting ornament, since we used to go on wine trails together.
The tree in process (notice the multiple step ladders!)
A close up:
Also while out, I bought DH a little gift and Sophie a gift that's already in her stocking (a green and white stuffed squeeker bone with a pawprint on it - since every time we take her to Petco, she begs for a squeeker toy!)
Some other decorated places:
Close up of the shelf:
Our pony wall:
Our table:
It's been flurrying almost every day and random times lately (never expected on weather channels) and today just as I was about to decorate the porch, it startd snowing. I ran out there and decorated what I could before my hands started to freeze, then watched the snow fall for a while:

Also, I used to think Chik Fil A was nice for being closed on Sundays like old Christian businesses used to. NO LONGER! I almost cried in Target when I was reminded that it was closed, just as I was thinking of eating yummy chicken and pickles. I had to find a place that wasn't as satisfying as my major craving for Chik Fil A would have been. My stomach was very dissapointed!
The weekend of beginning Christmas Season (pt 1)
Yesterday was so much fun. It was part 1 in my weekend of decorating for Christmas!
DH and I took a bit of a drive north, where we found some amazing Christmas trees in a "cut down your own" fashion. We hiked up some hills until we saw the Christmas trees that we had in mind - tall and wide!
That's all I got done yesterday. Today we'll be decorating the tree and getting some things for our porch. I really love the Christmas season!
I also found that my morning sickness is helped a lot by having the tree in the house. It now smells wonderfully like Christmas time instead of lots of strange or unpleasant (thanks to our pup Sophie)smells. I'm no longer gagging from room to room, because the whole house smells the same. I actually asked DH if we could grow one in the house all year round. I'm quite desperate to limit my sickness in any way!
DH and I took a bit of a drive north, where we found some amazing Christmas trees in a "cut down your own" fashion. We hiked up some hills until we saw the Christmas trees that we had in mind - tall and wide!
The tree farm:
The patch of trees we chose from (most are 10 - 15 feet tall!)
Once we reached this field, it started snowing!
We found our tree! DH is sawing it down.
This was the tree hauled on a sled. We got a lot of comments on the way down from the field! Many people stopped to say how beautiful of a tree it was. It sure is big!
At the tree place, they would put the tree through a machine to wrap it up and then they'd drill a hole through the tree's center of gravity for the big trees. We bought a pin stand - the whole tree just sits on the stand with the pin inside it.
This is them drilling:
After we struggled for a while to put it up while still stringed, we cut it lose and were shocked at how big it expanded! We both agreed that it must have grew in the truck, because it definitely didn't look quite this big on that hill!
It's hard to tell just how big it is unless you're standing in the room and it takes up so much presense! It's gonna be quite the adventure to decorate the whole thing!
Here are some other things I decorated last night (ignore all of the boxes and things laying around - it was around midnight when we finished with the tree and moved onto the rest of the house)
This is the staircase. The garland has little silver angels around it. Where the bow is, will be replaced by four stockings (Dh's, mine, Sophie's and one for baby) when we go buy them today.
The top of our piano:
Our ceiling fan. It usually has little diamond cuts hanging from it, but I replaced two with clear glass angels.

Ten Weeks
Ten weeks today! It's going by so fast. I'm glad to be almost out of the scary first trimester, but at the same time it's scary how fast it's going by! I thought pregnancy would crawl by and feel like it would last forever, but so far I can barely keep up with the changing weeks!
Baby is the size of a prune today, has longer arms and legs, is growing nails and hair, and is about an inch and 1/4th long. It can roll around and stretch plenty in there now. I'm excited to see how big the baby has gotten and to see movement when I go for the next scan at 13 weeks.
I was so close to feeling out of the woods for sickness, but the last few days have had me beat. Throwing up and exhaustion has been aplenty instead. Guess I had a day or two of good days and that's it! A little tease to show that one day, it won't be mandatory to throw up at least once a day. Or maybe the more stressed I am, the more my stomach knots up and sends me running to the toliet.
Belly pics this week aren't too good since it turned dark before I could take them. But I'm starting to get a small, hard bump low down. It starts at the fundus line and balloons out a bit, though it's hard to see in pictures since it's still quite small.

Tis the Season...(9w, 5d)
I'm getting super excited for Christmas!
We're planning on picking up our tree this weekend and other Christmas decorations. We don't have anything Christmas-y ourselves yet since this is our first Christmas in our house, but I'm hoping to be able to do up the house and outside nicely. So far the only thing Christmasy in the house is our new piano, which has a wreath that my grandmother gave us. There's sure to be lots of decorated house pictures coming in the future!
I'm also excited for AFTER Christmas! I can't wait for all of the sales to happen at the baby stores. We're planning on picking up our crib, diaper changer and maybe a glider or play pen right away depending on how good the sales are.
I've been searching for which designs of cribs and such that I want to get, and though I still don't know if light or dark wood for everything would be best (I'd like all of the wood in the room to match; crib, diaper changer, glider, etc. I'm leaning towards light now) I have some ideas of what I want. We're planning on only getting one set of big ticket baby things to use for all of our children, so buying these things are a pretty big deal - this is what's going to be in the nursery for YEARS! It'll be the most permanent parts of this house.

Pack & Play: (notice the teddy bears!)
I can't wait to fill up the nursery. Right now it's pretty bare and the only furniture that's in it is a dresser that's filled with my clothing and books, so despite the teddy bears all over, it still doesn't look very much like a nursery. Once it has a crib, glider and diaper changer in it, I think it'll be my favorite room to be in!
There's also muddy paw prints all over the carpet, thanks to lots of rain and a naughty puppy. I have to figure out how to remove stains from it - so far we tried shampooing the carpet and it hasn't helped much. I'm thinking of going to Petco this weekend and see if they have anything to help with pet spots.

9 weeks, 4 days
My morning sickness is no longer 24/7! Sure, when I am sick it's worse than usual and results in throwing up, but it's no longer all day! I'm pretty excited about that. I couldn't imagine ever feeling better from this first trimester stuff. I just got used to it over the last almost 6 weeks, and now it feels like I'm finally breaking through it as I'm closing in on 10 weeks.
Speaking of which, I'm almost out of the first trimester, which I'm super happy about. I think I'll throw a little party when I hit 12 weeks, because I've had my sights set on that week for so long as my goal line. I can't wait to be in my second trimester and feel all of the symptoms start falling away.
I got my first pair of maternity pants over the weekend. They're so comfortable!! I got them on sale from Walmart and they fit comfortably and have so much room in them - something I'm no longer used to! I think I have three pants (two of which are pjs!) that still fit me around my hips and waist. Not sure how everything is expanding, since I don't *see* it expanding and I've only gained about two pounds since getting pregnant (even that I'm not sure about, since I hadn't weighed myself for a month or so before getting pregnant).
I'm debating on going to the hospital next month for the defect testing for Baby. Basically, the doctor's office accidently scheduled me for it and said I could cancel it if I didn't want it. I haven't cancelled it yet because I wanted to go to see Baby at 13 weeks on a good ultrasound machine. But my doctor said they take bloodwork, which I really hate getting, especially at that hospital since the nurses there are very incompetant in that area. I need to get my normal pregnancy blood tests done this week, which is why I don't want more taken that isn't mandatory. But I think I'll regret not seeing baby at 13 weeks, so I guess I'll end up just sucking it up.
Christmas is really helping to keep me calm and give me something to focus on. This is our first Christmas in our home, so it's a big deal for me. I can't wait to see how the whole house glows from Christmas spirit. We're planning on getting our tree this weekend to set up, and a few decorations to kick start the season. I keep seeing a bunch of ordiments about Baby's First Christmas, which makes me anxious for next year's.

9w, 1d
I'm one day late, due to a busy Thanksgiving day. I'm now 9 weeks and one day, and at least mentally feeling good, despite stil being the same amount of sickness.
Here's some belly pictures:
Here's some belly pictures:
And despite the fact that we saw our first snow yesterday morning (a lovely surprise to wake up to on Thanksgiving!) we've been experiencing some warm weather lately. DH and I took Sophie outside to play and take pictures in the leaves:

First peek at Baby!
Today we got to say hello to baby! The doctor said everything looked perfect, exactly on schedule and we're both looking healthy. Here's our picture: (won't let me do it the correct side)
I was so happy to see Baby! As soon as I saw the image, it kinda hit me like "wow, there's really a baby in there! I'm not just throwing up for no reason!" It began to really feel real.
First Ultrasound!
The day is finally here! I'm all showered and ready to head out the door as soon as it hits 2 PM. I'll be updating later with info and pictures. Wish me and little bean luck!

8w, 5d - Ultrasound Tomorrow!
MY ULTRASOUND IS TOMORROW!!!
(in case you can't tell, I'm jumping out of my seat in excitement).
I had my medical history/pregnancy information call today with the doctor's assistant and went over everything from my history with cancer to me being correct about the due date should be June 30th according to dates. So now I'm all ready for tomorrow's appointment at 3:15.
My stomach is all jittery just thinking about it. I'm excited and nervous and jumpy! I can't wait to see that everything is okay and to see our baby. DH took off work for the day to take me, so it'll be special to see our baby for the first time together! I'm so on edge that I'm sure I'm going to be stupidly crying in front of the doctor as soon as the baby shows up and I hear the heartbeat!
I have a feeling I won't be sleeping tonight - or I'll be waking up really early to get a shower and then sit and wait! It's the one time I wish my doctor appointment was early morning instead of so late in the day! I'll be a mess tomorrow. Another reason why 3 PM is bad is because morning sickness really kicks in at that time, as does exhaustion. So, the combo at the doctor's should be interesting. Hopefully no one wears perfume so I won't be dry heaving (or worse!) in the waiting room!
I'm so glad to finally get to go there and sit among all the pregnant women and be apart of them! When I had cancer, I was always surrounded by pregnant women and I'd be the only one there with something depressing inside my body instead of a little miracle growing like the others. I love that I'm finally apart of them! I get to be there and smile in excitement with my husband next to me instead of being jittery in fear! I'm so eager to finally turn that doctor's office into a positive experience instead of one in fear!

8w, 4d
I've been so sick today.
DH made eggs and bacon for us this morning, but the bacon smell has yet to leave the house! It's making me so sick. It's filled the two bottom floors of the house and any time I go down there, I either spend the whole time retching or throwing up. Anything with any kind of smell sets me off today. My stomach hurts from all the gagging I've been doing. So far, besides the little eggs and bacon I could eat this morning, I managed a few pieces of toast and two big bowls of plain rice, which is starting to make me feel worse instead of better.
My dog isn't making it any better. Sophie has lately taken to wanting me to go all the way downstairs (from our spot in the attic living room) just to watch her eat! She acts like she has to go potty, and instead just wants company while she dines. This doesn't go over well with me, who has to have a something over nose and mouth just to prevent compulsion puking while down there.
I'm really looking forward to second trimester. I've been sick all day every day for so long that I think I actually forgot what it's like to NOT be sick. I can't imagine not feeling like this anymore, but I sure want to feel normal again. First trimester has been pretty rough on me - I'm so ready for these symptoms to taper off in the next few weeks and make way for an easier second trimester.
My ultrasound is in two days and I've been clinging to that thought. While throwing up, gagging, or just feeling like I can't stand this marathon 5 week sickness anymore, I keep thinking about seeing Baby and hearing the heartbeat. I think I'll at least feel mentally better when I see everything being okay. I'm so eager to see.
Meanwhile, I'm continuing to knit the baby quilt. I finished the first pink patch and now I'm almost finished with the blue patch. Knitting seems to help me a bit through the sickness.

Food Cravings; 8w, 1d
It seems like all I can dream about is food lately! Yes, all day and most of the night I'm very sick, but that doesn't stop my brain to constantly be thinking about yummy food it wants my stomach to be filled with!
So far, I've had amazingly vivid dreams about:
Bojangles chicken (ugh, I SO want this now since this was last night's dream)
Bojangles' biscuits, mashed potatoes with beef gravy and corn (same dream as above)
cheese steak
mini chocolate donuts
Egg McMuffins
Steak, Egg and cheese bagel sandwiches
taco bell bean burritos soaked in mild sauce
regular mashed potatoes buried in sweet corn
pulled turkey bathed in gravy
tuna fish subs
tacos
chicken parmasan
Chik Fil A regular sandwiches with lots of pickles
McDonald's Filet O Fish overflowing with tarter sauce
Wendy's Chicken bacon sandwiches
chicken bacon salads
cheese. I love cheese
white toast with melted butter
almost anything with salt
chinese food (multiple nights' dreams)
Subway chicken BLT
Lou Ees (local pizza place that makes heavenly pizza crust)
And this is only in the last five weeks! I suppose it could be worse, seeing that I hear a lot of women have been having nightmares in the first trimester. I'm just plagued with the overwhelming need of immediately going out and buying whatever food I just dreamt of. lol!
Meanwhile, baby is now the size of a raspberry (aww) and is moving around a lot according to the charts. I'm super anxious to be able to see baby in just five days! Maybe we can even celebrate by picking up Bojangles chicken....
Also, since I've been growing out of my last two pairs of pants, I ordered some on sale french terry cloth lounge maternity pants. I was going to buy a couple pairs of bigger sweatpants, but since maternity was cheaper, I figured might as well! Can't wait until my legs are warmer (one of the pants I'm wearing that fit are capris - which means my calves are cold!) and my stomach can be more relaxed without having to keep my pants unbuttoned and half zipped!
