16 Weeks...

YAY 16 weeks! which means 16 less weeks of being pregnant! I must be honest I hate hate hate being pregnant. It is not something that I CAN enjoy, I'm not allowed to. Not sleeping, feeling sick beyond description, the migraines, the temper, and all the other crap that's coming after it. I always joke with people that I wish I was one of those "I didn't know I was pregnant" people. They are technically only pregnant in their eyes for what? 2-3 days tops! Overall it sucks! But the closer I get to it the happier I get. I remember with Scarlett not really wanting to rush for her to get here b/c everyone I knew that was getting fed up with being pregnant seemed to stress themselves at the end of the pregnancy only to end up having a c-section or a bad experience. I had no rush, I dont believe in a "due" date in which at that point the baby HAS to come out or we will induce you...I dont like that mindset. I believe that whenever he/she is ready then come out, just dont take 12 months...PLEASE!

I'll try to take another picture tomorrow, I didn't take one last week but I'll try to remember to do one at least for my appt post.

On a different note, I hope hope hope that Scarlett does not have pink eye...she woke up this morning having trouble opening her eye(s). I washed her face, took her to school and she seemed ok which I was there which was about 30 mins. Well my mother calls me to tell me the teacher mentioned that she had a lot of goo coming out and she was coughing a lot. I hope its just a cold or an eye cold and not pink eye. I dont want her rubbing all that poo in my pillow and me getting that too.

Let's hope for the best! Until next time. TATA

An update...

Basically last time I posted I was hoping not to jinx myself but it is what it is and things aren't perfect. I had a really bad headache that started that same day and went on for two! I am now 14 weeks and 5 days (from my calculations of course). I can't wait for my appt next Wed! It feels like its been months but only has been a months since my last one. I've been reading a lot of articles and different blogs this time around, maybe because I seem to have more time in front of a computer this time than with Scarlett so I'm more worried about the pregnancy rather than the labor. I know being able to be in a comfortable environment and not at a bright hospital with 20 million people I've never met before coming in constatly. The one thing I found odd, but I completely understand, is that you are released in 4-6 hours(if everything goes well and no high blood pressure or fever is found in either of us). Like i said, its understandable b/c of how the birthing center setting is. I love how you walk in and you are given your medical chart and you can look at everything written by them and you can make copies of the chart, its all very much about you and not them. I like this!

I'm trying to find my old belly pics for Scarlett and I dont know which computer its one. Out of all the laptops we've had which I normally use to back up my pics, three of them have had "virus" issue that then need to be restored, essentially deleting every file there...thanks to my husband. I do make discs but they are at my parents house b/c I dont trust thing in this house b/c of the forementiond lol

Scarlett is currently driving me crazy as I write this, she will not STOP TALKING!!!!
so i took a few pics






I'm done now...husband is talking to me about his night at world of beer! glad someone is having fun during this pregnancy :-)

I feel like something is not normal...

This nausea is getting a lot stronger rather than better. I'm still technically in my first trimester, from my calculations I'm 13 weeks and about 5 days. Next week would be my second trimester and I would hope to feel better slowly...instead its been getting worse and worse. Not to jinx myself, but I haven't had my headaches get stronger which is good I guess but I dont like to get too hopeful. My next appt is in two weeks and I'll be 15 weeks then, they should give me the ok to have an ultrasound at that appt and I'll probably have it done then since we are not finding out the sex, just basically growth and health.

Scarlett is doing wonderfully at school, not learning wise which is not why I wanted to go to the preschool. She knows as much as most 4-5 year olds know, but we basically wanted interaction for her and she's doing great. Still not eating her lunch which is driving me crazy but she eats about 3 times after she gets home from school which is pretty good I suppose.

Today will hopefully be a good day out, typical lovely hot florida weather which means about 90. Either SeaWorld or Aquatica with Scarlett...I'll let her decide. GOOD DAY!

Progress

Its hard to see progress when you look at it everyday, but I did take two pictures of my belly so far. One at 7 weeks and another at 13 weeks. Here they are. I am getting big and must now compare them to Scarletts just so I can figure out how fat this baby might be!



7 weeks!


13 Weeks

Detangled...

That horrible migraine I had yesterday, well it basically lasted half a day today. So much so that I could not take it anymore and finally laid down to try and nap around 430ish. I got up around 545pm and thought how late I was going to be to do some grocery shopping and get some dinner somewhere, give her a bath and have her eat dinner and go to bed...all before 830. Needless to say it didn't happen but she was asleep by 9 so that's more than what I could ask for. We bought her some kid shampoo and I must say I never thought I would be one to fall for the fad of kid shampoo with the smellies and the colors and what not, I will love using baby shampoo on her the rare times I wash her hair since I dont want it to dry. Well bought her some suave 2 in 1 shampoo which said it was detangling. She actually picked it out and to keep her happy we just let it happen. So used it tonight and after it was rinsed off I tried brushing her extremely tangled hair and it brushed like a dream. I like it! and so does she b/c it smells like strawberries.

For some reason tonight she was very difficult. Too much crying and complaining for me after the day I had. I took her aside after her meltdown, which compared to other kids I've heard people tell me it is NOTHING. But for me it is everything since that's all I know, she's a great child but lately her listening skills have become very bad and out of control. I had to be rough with her which I dont feel bad about since she must learn to listen.

Tomorrow is her first day back at school so I should get ready for bed. Lunch is packed and ready to go, I need to get her sheets and backpack together(thank you blog for reminding me) and we should be good. Hopefully she will be glad to be back at school. I know I'm not! getting up early in this condition is not my idea of fun.

TATA for now

13 Weeks

I haven't been posting regularly but I'm so busy and tired all the time that I can't seem to keep up. So far I've only taken one belly pic and it was sort of a "before" my stomach blows up like a basketball photo. I must start taking them every week just to see the difference. Today was a fun day, we had a Scavenger hunt to win Magic playoff tickets. Needless to say we were not successful but we did get some goodies for Scarlett since she loves the Magic. But being out in the sun in 80 degree weather while pregnant and having a huuuuuge headache which was aggrevated from not sleeping well the night before, as usual, was not the best idea. I now have had what Im considering the strongest headache in my entire life. It got so bad at one point that I felt as if it COULD actually kill me, almost as if the pain was so great that it would cause me to go into shock. I didnt take anything for it but I tried staying hydrated while at my moms house as much as possible. The nausea is still around and I'm looking forward to this trimester being over so I can continue being sick through the second one. OH JOY!

Monday, Scarlett goes back to school after her week off for spring break. I need spring break more than she does that's for sure, and I thought how tomorrow will be sunday and it will start over again with the lunches and the wakeups and the nonsense. I'm not ready for that, Sunday will be my day for rest and grocery shopping.

TaTa for now.

Mr Migraine please go away

I must say today has sucked, I spend a pretty good friday night with Scarlett and saturday was fairly ok too but sunday came and a major migraine has plagued me all day non stop. I think this has been the worse one by far, even more so than with Scarlett. I cannot recall them being this bad with her, and maybe that's because at least I had days without any headaches at all which is not what I can said for this pregnancy. I need relief and I hoped for sleep but that is something that wont happen. I've been reading different things and seen how some doctors recommend tylenol PM for the lack of sleep and headaches, may have to check into that because its becoming unbearable. That is all for now, hoping for a good night sleep!
