Pregnancy Aches and Pains

Yesterday I either had the worse pregnancy day of nausea or I had a bug. I feel that it was a 24-hr bug. I had stomach cramps and couldn't keep anything down all day. Today, I am feeling alot better. I came prepared to work just in case. I have peppermint tea, dried crackers and Emetrol. Of course, I feel fine but that doesn't speak of how I am going to feel later today. Last Friday I sneezed and hurt a muscle in my back around my shoulder blade. It was very painful that day and night, but Saturday the pain went away as fast as it came. Also when I sneeze or cough, I hurt my round ligaments in my abdomen area. I heard that when you stand up, cough, sneeze, etc., this could be painful and now I am experience that as well.About a week after my pink eye episode, I had knee problems for about a week. My knee has been fine since then, but I am hoping that I don't have problems with it later on in the pregnancy. Oh, the joys of pregnancy. I am not complaining though. Because I know it will all be worth it in the end. :)

Disney Nursery Theme

For the baby's nursery, we decided that the theme will be the classic Disney. We are going with the old gang, Mickey Mouse, Minney Mouse, Goofy, etc. We will have to clean out the baby's room and start planning.

11 Weeks Prenatal Visit

Today was our second prenatal visit. The good news is that my doctor is moving to a new location in Lakeview practically right down my street in about one week :) the bad news is that she is now stuck at Baptist Hospital and the ultrasound machines are very old there so for this appointment I do not have a picture to post after all :( But we saw the baby with the machine they had and I have to say, it was the most amazing experience. The baby was throwing his arms around and kicking. Then he stopped and curled up for about 15 seconds and then reached up and threw his legs out to stretch. It was AWESOME to see him do that. Kevin was amazed as well for he figured that at this point of our pregnancy the baby didn't move much. My doctor said that she now wants to see me once a month since everything is going great. So my next doctors appointment is August 9th. And she promised me that this appointment I will have a good ultrasound picture. I am holding her to this!!

11 Weeks Today

Today I make 11 weeks. Time seem to be flying. I originally had a doctor's appointment for tomorrow, but they called and rescheduled for this Thursday at 9:00 a.m. Kevin said that this was good news because that would mean that the baby would be just a little more developed. I am hoping for a great ultrasound picture to post. Since I hit 9 weeks I have been having bad nausea. For the last two days I actually threw up instead of gagged. For most people, about this time is when nausea starts to taper off, but not for me. I have been telling everyone that I bet this baby won't want to come out when the due date arrives. Everything comes late for me, so I wouldn't be surprised. I also have been having SO many dreams. Not bad dreams, but very good dreams. While in Florida, one of my dreams was that that I had a boy and was breastfeeding him and I even remember how I was feeling in my dream as I was feeding him. It was an awesome feeling.

Pensacola Trip

It is hard to believe that I am almost 11 weeks pregnant. This trip is very nice, except when the kids pop popcorn. The smell makes me so nauseous! And eating late is really hard on me. And not being able to drink is hard. :) Oh, well it is worth it! I think for my next pregnancy I will plan around the family trip to Florida.
