yep. we are future parents to be in februrary 2013...that date seems so far off right now but i know the time will fly by & to be honest I CANT WAIT! -pregnancy so far has been sooooo hard..sooooo hard! ((i usually dont like to complain but in this case i will share)) when i first found out i was pregnant, it was a monday morning (i had not even missed my period yet but just thought to take a test because i had been so anxious to get pregnant) to my unbelief 2 pink lines showed up on that stick & all i could do was think "holy crap, we got pregnant!" that whole day i was on cloud 9, smiling from ear to ear! i wanted to tell jake in a cute way so that day i went out & bought 2 more boxes of pregnancy tests & a fathers day card. i took a few (10) tests over the next couple days & put them in a baggie & sent jake a card telling him Happy Future Father's day! WE ARE PREGNANT! & mailed it to him. that whole week jake would NOT check the mail...i tried hinting but didnt want to make it obvious. while all this is happening behind the scenes...jake is continuing to ask me every day "is there something you need to tell me?" -so being the terrible liar that i am i couldnt help but smile at him & say "we're having a baby!!!" after being asked 20 times.
for 2 weeks i felt great...i was eating really well, drinking lots of water, working out every day, i thought this whole pregnancy thing was going to be a walk in the park! then it hit me like nothing else! now i throw up all day, every day & cant keep anything down, including fluids so i have been extremely dehydrated. i now have to go get IV therapy treatments weekly. i am on every nausea medication that you can think of but nothing works.
working has been super hard on me lately because i feel like i cant function at all without running to the bathroom every couple minutes to get sick. i had to drop my hours from full time to part time because it was so hard on me. i feel like i am putting so much weight on jakes shoulders right now with being so sick...i cant help but cry just thinking of how much i rely on him right now to help me & how he is soooo helpful & loving in every way. i am beyond grateful to have such an amazing husband that truly does everything for me & still says i am beautiful after not showering for 2 days & not being able to put on makeup, not shaving my legs, my hair not being brushed, etc...i think you get the idea. it has definitely been a hard few weeks & i am sure the next couple weeks will be just as hard but i know this is only temporary & heavenly father will be blessing us all along this journey.
9 weeks
- my due date is wednesday februrary 20th, 2013
- i feel sick every day & there is no bump yet except sometimes i like to think there is
- i am always burning hot
- my favorite thing to eat is ice chips currently
- we met our doctor this week & he looks/acts like george lopez! yes i have a comedian delivering my baby. he seems great just a ball of energy which i have none of at this time so it was a tad overwhelming.
- good news there is only ONE baby! yes i was nervous there were 2 when jake shared the news that twins run in his family
- predictions on gender- we both really want a boy but think we are having a girl, of course as long as the baby is happy & healthy that is all we really want!!!
