Well these weeks have been melding into one another lately. I have been working overtime on the weekends and decided to take a break this weekend. It was so nice. Even though it is still face stingingly cold I had a relaxing weekend. I seem to be doing well, baby stuff and all. I feel pretty normal, aside from the growing belly. Hopefully the week will go by quick, so that I can have another wonderful weekend with my hubby. I miss him most on Sunday nights, after spending two days with him. I don’t have much else to talk about so Ill end with one frustration that I had this week, that I know will continue to pester me. The silly geese are back. They infest our parking lot and all around the building I work in. I get such anxiety awaiting the dreaded “when geese attack” moment that I envision. Well that’s all. Off to the chocolate!

Well another week has passed and Im doing pretty good! I had another Dr appt on Friday and everything went well! Rob was with me and was able to hear the heartbeat so that was good. I’ve not gained anything so far, actually I’m down 3 pounds. So I must say it is a little weird to have this belly and nothing fit…and loose weight! We have our ultra-sound next month, and hopefully we will find out what we have in there. I have to make the appointment, so Ill keep everyone updated. I guess the milestone for this week is that I wore maternity pants for the first time this week, and OH MY GOODNESS….I don’t think I will ever go back to regular pants. I described them to Rob today as sweatpants only cute! Oh the other exciting thing that happened for me this week is…..EASTER CANDY IS OUT! Sweet Tart Jellybeans…holy cow, My New Favorite!

Well I must say I really do not have any exciting preggo stories this week. It’s all the same. I am starting to show a little more, which does make you feel a little less blobbie and more pregnant…so that is good. Work has been REALLY annoying lately, we are in mandatory overtime, so I have been working alot. I did take off Friday…as a Valentine surprise for Robert. We had a great first Valentine’s date together Thursday night. Let’s see what else, I KNOW! I am so sick of all this snow junk. I am so ready for some warmer weather. I WOULD LOVE A TRIP TO THE BEACH ABOUT NOW, but I don’t think that is going to happen this year. Okay, I feel like a whine head tonight. The random complaint blog is complete for tonight, I’m sure there will be more in the future. PRAYING FOR A QUICK WEEK!

Well I’m sure there will be more embarrassing moments that will creep up on me during this whole pregnancy thing, but for now I will share an issue that is SO not fun!

Well all of us know that when you are pregnant you have to go to the bathroom way more often than usual (that is a serious understatement) Well on top of that I have lost the ability to tell “when” I have to go. SO, every time I sneeze or cough THERE IT IS!!! Piddle in my pants! I hate it soooo much, I feel so disgusting and gross. With all of this going on, I have confessed to Robert my bladder issues (lol I had too cause I have been wearing his Pajama pants and he has noticed them disappearing more quickly ) He has nicely nicknamed me “tinkle pants”, I have returned the favor with a nickname of my own. I don’t want to embarrass him so I will not share on here…. It’s all done in good fun; no feelings hurt.**

Anyway, I am looking forward to this week. I have surprises in store for Robert for Valentine’s day. YeaH!!! I can’t wait!

**CORRECTION** -We must make sure to correctly record these events in which they take place: Evidently I was mistaken on the order in which the nicknames were given….I have been informed that my name was given after I came up with Robert’s.

Well we have made it past that long awaited 12 week mark. It is weird how relieved I feel. Yeah, it’s just another day…but I feel like I can worry a little less. Let’s see, the only thing that has been worth noting this week is how tired I have been. Falling asleep at my desk, sleeping through my favorite shows, in bed and out cold at 9 o’clock on a Friday night. They “the experienced preggos” keep telling me that this is supposed to go away soon…that I will just wake up and feel less tired. I’ll be sure to post when that happens. Hmm.. what else, OH I went shopping. I bought my first maternity clothes. I must admit, it felt very strange. AND yes…I put the fake belly on. Then I freaked out and ripped it back off. I got a few tops and one “outfit” that came together. All pretty cute, very maternity, but cute. I was able to find a few things that didn’t have bows or ruffles.

*sigh* okay, I have to go to the bathroom for the 12th time this morning..Ill write about how horribly that is affecting me next time, it’s a good story! Till then….

Well, things seem to be going pretty good. I got a great report from the doctor this week, looks like I’m gonna be fine. I feel so much better after hearing all the positive response from Dr W. OH!!! I got to hear the heartbeat.HOLY COW, is that the craziest thing ever. She asked if I was going to cry, but to be honest….I was more stunned/freaked out than touched at that moment. Rob didn’t come to that appointment with me, so I cannot wait for him to be able to hear it as well.

The only thing I am suffering with right now (besides feeling extra fluffy tonight) is my nose! My goodness, I haven’t been able to breathe in over a week now. I started trying to use Affrin a couple days ago, but it kinda makes me feel weird. Who knows, I think I am going to hold off until I get just a normal saline spray. I’ll stick on one of those SUPER WAY COOL nose strips tonight to help me sleep. I guess that is the update for now!

Well this was an exciting week. I had my second Dr’s appt. Everything was great with the baby! Rob and I even got to see our little one. Everything is on track, measuring exactly to what we have our due date set. It was a relief to know everything is growing well “in there”. We did however have one problem. I had some blood pressure issues. Now I was really really nervous…Rob said “eyes were bulging in fear”, so it could be anxiety issues. They are running a few tests, just to be safe. I feel much better about it all now. We have been monitoring it at home and it has been running normal. So who knows? Just one little roadblock in the road of pregnancy. Im praying all is well and this all will be managed and we will move on.

Other big news of the week: New hair! I love it! I love it! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

OH, Rob says to tell everyone what a wonderful husband he is. It is true. He’s been doing alot to help out, in my time of tired/lazyness.

So tomorrow is my second Dr’s appt. and I am crazy nervous. I was supposed to have it last week and was not nearly as nervous. There are so many thoughts going through my head today about the possiblities of tomorrow. I just want everything to be okay. With me and the wee one. Also, I was going to go alone…but now I am feeling like Robert is being left out. It’s so hard to feel like you are doing the right thing sometimes. I want so bad for him to know that he is just as involved and important in all of this as myself. I leave this in hopes that tomorrows post will be happy and with much less concern and anxiety…… I think I need some chocolate milk, yum.

Okay, I am going to prove to myself I can keep up with this blog thing.

Hey…it could be fun documenting all the fun stuff that goes along with being preggo!

So far, I am doing really well. Im couped up in the house because another icestorm has rolled through. I feel really moody this week (poor Rob) It is like the smallest little thing effects me HUGELY. So I have to take a step back and ask myself if it is really an issue or if it is my horomones/emotions blowing things out of proportion. Ugh, I hate feeling wishy washy. ANYWAY…This week I was a little disappointed, I had a doctors appt on Wednesday and she was sick, so it was rescheduled. I am confident that things are going well ( Im just tired, no other issues) I would still just like to know everything is okay…that everything is doing what it is supposed to do “in there”. Now I have to wait till next Wednesday. Oh well, always working on that whole patience issue some how or another. Right now I will keep eating my jellybeans and I will share more tomorrow!
