I feel like I'm 2 steps from death :( All food makes me nauseous, so I'm super-weak feeling all the time. I feel more like I have major sea sickness than morning sickness. Luckily I still have not actually thrown up, but I've gotten close. And I still have 5 or 6 more weeks til the end of this trimester and I have any chance of this subsiding :( I knew what I was getting myself into with how bad my morning sickness was with the boys, but that doesn't make me any less miserable...
In trying to distract myself from my stomach, we've been looking at doppler rentals and 4D ultrasounds. We're going to rent the doppler soon, and schedule the ultrasound for around my birthday :D October seems so far away, but I can't wait until I get that sneak peek at our little beanie!

I'm too busy!
The cramping I was having last week resolved itself! Haha, I feel like a dork :P
---------<3----<3----<3----<3---------
Well, my first appointment was Tuesday. Everything went well-except for the fact that I had the boys with me! Wrangling them while having a full exam was definitely an experience! So far, there's nothing crazy going on with this pregnancy. I still have a tilted uterus, but that's old news.
While going over my medical history, I found out that Bickie had IUGR, and that the hospital was wrong. He was NOT a preemie! The hospital had told me my due date was flat out wrong by 2 months, even though we were pretty positive of when he was conceived...so much was explained by that simple clarification!
Because he had Intra Uterine Growth Restriction and had stopped growing so soon, I am going to be getting REGULAR ultrasounds! That. Is. Super. Awesome!!! My first ultrasound is the 13th. Since my cervix is easily irritated, she's waiting until I'm 10 weeks so that we don't have to do the internal ultrasound to see the little beanie. I was going to go with an actual dr. this time around, but since I'm getting more than one ultrasound, I think I may stick with my CNM. I got a few with Monkey, and a billion with Bickie, so I would probably go crazy if I had to deal with just 1 (or even 2) ultrasounds anyway!
---------<3----<3----<3----<3---------
Now for the sucky part of the update :( I had some spotting this morning. It wasn't just one drop, but it wasnt' gushing either, so I'm not freaking out yet. I've been having issues with a yeast infection lately, so for the moment, I'm chalking it up to the YI. I had the same thing, around the same time, with both of the boys as well. If it comes back, I'm calling the CNM immediately, though. I had more cramping today (and bad cramping at that), but it seems to be more intestinal cramps ::crosses fingers!:: I really don't want anything bad to be going on in there right now!
---------<3----<3----<3----<3---------
The Psi bands seem to be helping my nausea too. I'm so glad I haven't puked yet, but I have come close a couple of times. As long as I don't eat any meat, and stick to seafood and liquids, I do great. Not even nausea. But if I think about food I fall apart :( I've had a few other symptoms-fatigue, light headedness, carpal tunnel in my right wrist, sudden sweating, and I seem to be freezing all the time!

The hubby bought me 2 maternity shirts today! I <3 him! :D

owie!
I have been having bad cramps for 2 days now. I woke up early yesterday morning with horrible cramps, and they're still going. Weaker, but still there. Since I'm not spotting, I'm hoping that it's just constipation cramps since I've been having bathroom troubles lately...
I wish things didn't have to be so stressful in the early weeks of pregnancy :(
Aiden's birthday party was yesterday. It was hectic, but fun. We told my aunt and uncle, and luckily, word didn't get out. I was worried that someone would let it slip, and the rest of the party would be miserable, but we got lucky :D

Bleck!
Well, I just almost puked for the first time this go-round. I made the mistake of taking my prenatal on an empty stomach. I usually feel slightly nauseous if I forget to eat something, but this was full-blown POW! The smell of the training potty (which is clean, btw) made it 10x worse. If I'm this sick now, I'm going to be miserable in a few weeks!
As much as it sucks, I am glad that I am nauseous right now. I'm in that odd time frame where bad things can happen, and quickly, so it's reassuring to have any symptoms at all at this point. As soon as we get our insurance info together I'm going to call the Dr. and hopefully that will finally put my paranoid mind to rest.

Mini-rant...
I've been so exhausted and nauseous lately (now I know why!) and today is no exception. I wanted to be in bed HOURS ago :(
I walked for about 45 minutes today, and by the end of it, I had tons of energy. But after I sat down, it all went out the window again-bleh. I am hoping to actually be able to stay active this pregnancy. There were a lot of problems in my last pregnancy and they are probably all a part of why he was a preemie. I wasn't active enough then, so I'm going to do everything I can to stay fit and healthy this time to try my best to prevent that from happening again. I'm definitely going to try to walk every day. I've been doing yoga, and right now, I'm looking into prenatal yoga (squee! I love that I can type that now!). This being summer, I'm also going to try to go swimming a few times a month-and I may even sign up for pregnancy water aerobics.
I feel more in control this time. We're doing good financially (nothing like the money crisis we had the last 2 times! **knock on wood!**), I have a support group, and I am much more prepared this time around. My EDD is February 14th, 2011-TAX TIME!! Whatever we don't manage to get ourselves, or from family and friends, we will still be able to take care of. This will be our first baby with all new nursery furniture. Actually, this will be our first baby with *any* new nursery furniture, lol. This is also our last chance to decorate a nursery, and I just know we're going to go just a little overboard, lol.
I am falling asleep on the laptop, so I'll write more later. I'm so excited that my brain doesn't want to shut off! I can't wait until it's time to start shopping for baby!!!!!!!!
