Kept down dinner.. Going to see a drug MD

Yea! hopefully I am on a road to where when I eat dinner and take my pre-Natal that it will keep down. I have had to do some breathing exercises and to make funny sounds as I speak but maybe tonight my PNV will stay down. Tomorrow I have an Drug MD appointment. Its for my bi-polar and ADHD woot. A few more pills to throw up! But no generic! I think I going back to welburtin (to stop smoking :)*j/k*) and some other anti depressant for me to choke down every morning and evening. Gots to sleep now. Enjoy. BTW this is my first two consecutive posts in a while.

Saturday night, I forgot to mention I had this huge gas bubble in my upper tummy that it felt like I was having a heart attack. But I did get through it and now I have to knock on the celling to tell the upstairs to shoosh their tv.

yucky tummy

I wish morning sickness would go away soon. I know it should by the 9th week but it sucks and I can't go to work or hold down my pre-natal vitamin. This entry is going to be slightly short due to the time I need to sleep.

Yesterday I had Zacks Pizza, then I threw it up.

I have been feeling yucky all week with migraines and the Morning sickness day or night every two days. I have been drinking water and I know its not the best but I have been drinking Sprite because that calms my tummy at work. I will post pictures soon but I haven't been feeling camera worthy since M/S has kicked in. I added another ticker to the sidebar. Its from What To Expect website but I might take it and put it in the ticker blog. We will see.

Headache each day

I know its hormones and junk but still almost daily suffering from Migraines. Wish they would go away. I feel tired and each time I get up or try to go to bed I feel like I want to hurl. At the moment I feel like I am going to hurl if my small cat sits on my tummy. Yesterday we cuddled in my room for what seemed like hours because I wanted to sleep but couldn't. Maybe I do need the Harry Potter to go to sleep.

Oye

Last night I was in more relief because I was drinking milk. Yummy. Though I don't like the though of heartburn its still good to drink some milk. It helped me sleep a lot better and I was more awake but it doesn't help the need a nap mode during the day. I am coming home at 3:30 now and not at 5 because of the sleepiness I get around 4:30. But that is still an hour over time and I get to go home in the light instead of the dark.

Heartburn and T-Ta-Tums Tums Tuuummms

So I have had some heart burn and not even know it. I got some relief yesterday because we went to Costco and bought the jumbo size and last night when I wasn't feeling too hot and decided to take two and the chalky goodness helped. I have not had heart burn or at least if I did it wasn't to the point of thinking that I needed to go to the hospital.

Last night was all bad

First I stayed home yesterday because I was feeling very queasy and not hot enough to go to work. All day I felt that way. I went to Nijiya and got a lot of Japanese food. I got some udon that I thought that it was good for me so I had it for dinner and it wasn't. Bump had a button that stated Throw up or Like the food. So I think it pushed the Morning Sickness button last night and all the food came up. Wee!

First pictures of Bump!

 

 

Here they are folks the moment that you have all been waiting for the images of Bump. Bump and only one bump measured in about 6 weeks 5 days which is an estimated Due Date of between June 1 2009 to June 7Th 2009. Woot! Very happy. We did not get to hear the lub lub of the heart beat but we did see it and as uncomfortable as that ultra sound device is I still would have done it 5,000 more times to see that little beat of the heart. I wonder if my mother got to see me this early or because it was 1978 it was just wait till the 12 week when the Doppler was able to register it and then she got to know me by the heart beat.

Yes I know they aren't very clear but for a split instant I saw a clear image and I can't explain what the feeling of joy and wanting to see more of it's heart beat for a few minutes but the lady who did the U/S was busy measuring and fiddling with the probe that it was hard to say please keep it there for a second longer. I need to go to sleep soon so good night and sweet dreams!

Got the Clothes and a suprize

Well Gap followed through on the clothes. 2 pants and 4 shirts will last for a while plus the new jacket which fits good except I don't have the boobs or the tummy yet to fill it out. Pictures of all of the clothes soon and the week 6 belly I would say that I am still not showing but the bloat is killing me. One day I can fit into my "skinny" jeans and then next have to go to the size 14's but they don't fit. Geesh Please let me get to the end of November and get out of this period of yo-yo bloat. Oh and Gap sent me 2 year old pants for some odd reason and they are not on my invoice and I didn't get charged for them either.

Food note: Bump likes the Miso soup. Yea! Something that I can eat with out the consent feeling of throwing up. I am not eating it all the time as it is bad (sodium) but at work it fills my belly enough to get through two hours of the day when my sandwich threatens to come up.
I am drinking Barks Root beer but I am now liking the Barks and Sprite combo. I think its a compromise that its not fully caffeinated I just need some sugar carbonated water to wake my brain up from the preggie stooper.

Yawn and an hour commute today

Well I wanted to come home and relax because tomorrow is going to be a long meeting due to a "end of the year" wrap up and I have to stay awake and not feel like I am making a bad name for my self and my team. But it took 1 hour from the time I left my job's parking lot to when I parked in the front of the house. And now I am waiting for hubby. He may have been caught up in the mess because they shut down one of the freeways near my house and every one was advised to used to the other free ways and side streets. Gotta go he's home!

Morning Sickness is here

So from thinking that we have been gassed to death to this morning when a few minutes after 5 not feeling the greatest and took my pills, a pre natel and 2 extra fiber pills with my OJ and still didn't feel the greatest and burped and had the first bought of morning sickness.

Time for Change or Hold Out and Save?

Last night, we discovered that the pilot for our heater had gone out for the second time in a week. We only discovered the issue when trying to use the heater in the past week to try and heat up the apartment with the weather getting a little colder.

With the pilot going out for the second time just a couple of days after having the landlord have to stop by to fix it, we have been growing more concerned about our safety and the safety of our unborn child. We started looking for a new apartment. Our current issue is that our present place is priced quite a bit lower than anything we can currently find in any of the areas that we are willing to move to.

We looked at a townhouse today that was no bigger than this place. It may even be a little smaller. It also is a bit more expensive (actually something in the range of 600 dollars more). It wasn't all bad, the windows were very well insulated, all the outlets were grounded (three pronged) and the bathroom was not carpeted; just for starters.

We definitely have some thinking to do about our living conditions and investigate our options. We will let everyone know what we finally decide to do.

We could have been dead

What a way to start off a post but the heater's pilot light had been out and the heater was on at 70 degrees. Our landlord "fixed" the heater by turning on the pilot light and another fix was to put duct tape on the heater door, like that could have "fixed" a broken door. I am really scared now that I am pregnant that it could have killed one of us or M/C Bump or one of our cats could have passed away or we could have all just died in our sleep. Jeremy is trying to fix it now and I hear it turning on. But I guess we are lucky that we open the windows for our kitties in day light so it could have dissipated. But its very scary. I think we are going to try to find a new place ASAP.

Couldn't take a nap

I really wanted to take a nap this afternoon, but my feet dropped my temp and it made me not comfortable and took Jeremy's body heat to warm me up to the point of just tired. I also got upset at MIL because she keeps referring to Bump as angel but I keep seeing all of the posts with M/C's stating lost Angels at (blank) weeks. It's something that I don't want to post on this blog and others.

Went to Birthday Party

Went to a party in SF and told some of Jeremy's friends that I was with bump. Some were surprised because they didn't think Jeremy had it in him to spawn. They were very happy and looking forward to a cool baby shower sometime next year. I don't mind the Bump getting spoiled with two showers. That would be cool. Maybe we can combine them to make a mega shower. Got to go to sleep before this post becomes tomorrow's date.

Pictures!

 

 

Final I remembered to place the pictures here! Woot! Any way the picture is of a 5 week bump, but my actual bump (my tummy) looks HUGE. I may have been bloated but to me it looks like I have an upper baby growing in my tummy.

The second picture is of my baby "stash". Its the items I have been stocking up on due to just seeing some cute things and having a little extra mula. The Eeyore Blanky is MIL's addition (that's what started the collection) and Yes I am ruining the Family's job of spoling the little one but there is 18+ years and for a long time I thought I wouldn't have a nice family like the one I am in now to have a spoiled little one.

I will end the post to say HI and by to all. Yea! Its almost the weekend!

Didn't sleep with Blanket only TBP

Last night I was tired and hot and when I went to bed I placed my blankets to the side and had only my total bobby pillow. Sorry I don't have the 5 week picture up but I will post it tomorrow. I also would like to bring a blanket to work so I can curl up and sleep on the job. Though people won't like it I am getting tired around 3pm if not sooner. Talking about sleep I am just about to go to sleep. I will post picture up tomorrow. Ja Ne!

Chicken Pot Pie

Yum. I know that I have only been writing about food and its part of being pregnant. I was reading in the Fit Pregnancy Magazine that new guidelines are out for what "normal" weight gain for pregnant moms to be are. I am going to ask my MD about it but I think if I had a choice I would only want to gain 15 to 20 lbs just because 8-10 lbs is Bump. Took week 5 shot tonight and will post it tomorrow.

Spent some time with the new Grandpa in SF

Went to SF today with hubby to meet with my pa to help him with his computer. We did some laundry and got hubby some new cloths as well as he got Fast Track. (I'm jealous) And now going to just chill at home for the remainder of the day with my feet up. And see if my cats take a cat nap with me.

Told Hubby's Sister

Today we went to Toy's R Us and got more preggie pops and looked around at the products that were there. I keep going back and forth between the bed sets. Patchwork Pooh and the Soft and Fuzzy Pooh collection. I may just put both on the registry, but we will see.

Hubby and I told hubby's sister and she is very happy about the new addition in the family tree. Even if it is a limb bud. She wanted to know the names that we picked out and if we were going to know the gender. I said no on both accounts but I did tell her the alternate names if we were to have a boy or girl.

Bought Cloths and a Book

Good news to start off Hubby got a JOB! Yea! No worrying about him now I can put more energy towards being healthy and relaxing about this pregnancy. I bought cloths on line today. I wanted some cloths that have the stretch in them and some more t-shirts. The sweaters and jackets weren't really my style but I am going to shop around for more stuff. I also have a ton of XL and because of Hubby double XL shirts and sweatshirts.

I bought the What to Expect Eating Well book and there are some yummy recipes in that book! Highly recommend the book to any one that is wanting to get pregnant too because it talks a lot about pre-pregnancy eating as well.

I will place a wealth of pictures when I get the cloths. As they will be with me for a hopefully more than 1-3 months if I eat well.

4 week picture and my first Maternity Shirt

 

 


So I took the picture of me at 4 weeks like I stated but I made a few notes so that people won't say "Wow at 4 weeks you are really showing.

Also today I went to Berlingame Ave. A posh shops, that I go to when I feel down and want to feel like I am rich. There is a shop there that is called Baby Style and that is were I got the first Maternity shirt that is really comfortable. I am thinking about wearing it to bed but then I wouldn't be able to wear it tomorrow.

I am tired now so I am going to go to bed. Sleep tight every one!

Stayed home today

Today I felt queasy and had a bit of a small cough so I thought it would be safe if I stayed home today. So right now (at 6:45 am) I am in bed with my kitten Bindi and hubby next to me getting rest, because he woke up with me at 4:30 am and packed a lunch, gave me my breakfast and ate his.

Bump update, on the tickers and on web sites, they state that the bumps heart starts to beat around this time 5 weeks :) but its not going to be steady until 3-4 months. I am thinking Bump may become Bumps because of how early I found out I was pregnant. But we will see.

Why I chose the nickname Bump

So, hubby brought up a statement about his conversation with his Ma about the nickname Bump and why I started to call it The Bump or Bumpy. At first when I told hubby about being pregnate I showed him the pregnancy test and we didn't know if it was a false positive or it was a busted test so I didn't want to be attached to an if. Now that there is a very good chance that I am preggers I am still not convinced (even though I am) that there is a baby growing in side of me untill the first ultra sound that is coming up on Oct. 16th. So I call it the Bump in my Tummy. Hubby called it On-A-Log or Onalog because while we were sitting at In-N-Out he still was still in shock. Plus, since we aren't going to know what other name (because we chose not to know if it's a boy or a girl) we couldn't call it by a proper pronoun He/She.

Telling the Parents

So today was the day I told my pa about being preggers. Sunday we told hubby's mother because my dad was away on a weekend trip. Hubby's mother cried because the Bump would be her second grand child, first from her first-born son and a long time coming. My dad was more or less shocked and amazed because this would be his first grand child too. I haven't yet told my Bio-Dad but I will take life by the horns and call him and his wife soon. My mother passed away last year, but I think she might be looking down on me and beaming with my Grandma who has passed too. I hope my mother is in a good place right now.

Any ways, the wait to tell every one is on. Though hubby's mother is chomping at the bit, I think she would under stand that to wait 2 1/2 more months is a long time but to us its all about the miss carriage rate. And at 4 months we can defiantly hear a heart beat.
