Week 8, overdoing it and morning sickness

Well I actually behaved today by sitting on the couch all morning watching Ellen and Delivery stories. (no Disney World, no Walmart, no grocery store, no Bestbuy) But I was up most all night w Tres. Tres was not at all interested in sleeping last night and just wanted to EAT! Right now I am eating a ton of beef flavored rice, green olives, & communion grape juice! I can't get enough! I have also went back to my childhood staple at my moms of toast, usually toast w cinnamon or honey. I am still having strange sensations shooting through me but after reading up on IC and Pregnancy online I am pretty sure it is my IC bladder disorder that is acting up. It is usually worse in the evenings which being on your feet too much during the day can cause. Swimming in the pool or a warm bath seem to help.

I have a bad habit of over doing it. I had a friend say to me, Candy the majority of the world does not try to walk all the Disney Parks on a everyday basis during their first 12 weeks of pregnancy...DUH! But really running here and there 24/7, theme parks, shopping, and fun is just my NORM...but I can see my body can not handle my NORM right now...so I am slowing down. I am back to napping and sleeping in. I seem tired all the time. I have also learned I have to eat every hour or two in small amounts but sitting down and eating a big meal makes me sick really fast. I have had a lot of nausea and it usually comes from eating too much at once or not eating small plates every few hours.

As most of you can imagine I am going out of my head already wondering if Tres is a boy or girl so I did some family calculations just for fun last night.

I am also still going over Baby names in my head 24/7... I have a few I am leaning towards!

My mom gets here for a visit on Wed and will get to celebrate Tres 9 weeks!!!

My next Dr apt for an Ultra sound and blood work is on our 10 year anniversary Dec 23rd! This will be Shawn's first time to see and hear Tres, yes I like to go all out with my anniversary gifts...haha!

Really really would love Kya & Jagger to get to be there too but not sure we will tell them yet!

Oh my Heck as Jagger says this, is really happening????

THE LONG WEEK SIX!

Lets see in the 6th week of my pregnancy I had 3 ultrasounds for spotting and cramping. I felt as if that 6th week was going to go on forever from worry. The good thing about having the issues was that I got to see the baby and see its heart beat 3 times. At my first appointment the baby's heart rate was 110 which they thought was good. Then I had an ultrasound 3 days later with no raise in the babies heart rate which worried the Dr. I learned that the babies heart rate is suppose to go up about 3 beats a day. So three days later on November 15th at 9:45 am I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time and the heart rate was 122. GO BABY! The heart rate had to be at least 119 and this little over achiever went for 122! One of my best friends and fellow Guate Adopt Mommy Maryann DeMartin was here visiting from Denver. She got to go with me to this very exciting appointment. We both cried when we heard the heartbeat and found out everything was looking GREAT! This was her first time to get to see an ultrasound and hear a babies heartbeat and I am just so glad she got to share this experience with me, because she is my soul sister! I also saw Dr Logan again for the second time and I still really like her. She is very calming for me and I never feel rushed. Maryann felt the same way and it was great to hear her opinion on the Dr. and baby names...ha! So happy to make it through week SIX!

Baby Bump

Monday after I got home from Oklahoma I spent the day at the ER where I was told to go by a few different OB offices because of the weekend spotting. I was there over 5 hours and was never seen and the sight, sounds, and smells were sending me over the edge so I left. Thank goodness for all the new great friends I have made here in Orlando. One of those very sweet friends is Stacey. Stacey has a daughter Alexa who is in Jagger's class and Alexa has a baby sister Aubrey. Stacey is also from Canada...not that that matters unless you are me and fell in love with Canada because of EPCOT...ha! I really wanted to tell Stacey to her face but I also needed to get into a Dr ASAP. She got me in to the practice she used OB and GYN Specialist. Shawn was out of town and she also offered to drive me over to my appointment. It turned into quite the fun morning. We had a quick breakfast at Chick Fillet and then to the DR we went. I was not really that nervous because I really could not believe this was happening because I really did not believe those four home pregnancy tests. When the Ultra Sound Tech located the Baby and and said everything looked great and that she could see the heartbeat already I really went into SHOCK mode. I also cried a few tears, tears of relief and joy that things looked OK. It was all so surreal even being in the OB office because it was just something I never imagined myself doing especially at this stage in our lives. So I knew there was a BABY growing in me and I had the pictures to prove it....but I was still like, ARE YOU SURE? Stacey and I headed over to meet my Friend Amy for lunch at Yellow Dog. I was pretty excited to get to tell Amy to her face and show her the pictures.

Although the kids have no idea I have a baby in my Tummy yet they have both noticed my Tummy already getting bigger.

Jagger came up to me and asked with a strange look on his face, MOMMY BIG TUMMY? haha

Kya Blu came up to me very concerned looking and said OH dear Mommy why is your tummy getting so BIG? I said I don't know Kya I will have to ask the DR about that. She then raised her eyebrows and said UMMMM NO I think you need to talk to Daddy about that! It was all I could do not to ROLL ON THE FLOOR laughing....although she has not clue what she was really saying it is all very TRUE!

Boomer Sooner Baby News!

Lets see November 1st 2006 is Kya’s Forever Family day. The day we as a family of three flew home to see the rest of our family and friends here in the USA! Well on November 1st 2010 I looked in my planner to see that I had missed my time of the month. I thought to myself wow that’s a little weird, my boobs are sore as all get out and I don’t even feel like I am going to start. I am so regular every 29 days and this was Day 34. We took the kids to Dinner at Fulton’s (the boat) that night to celebrate Kya’s family day. I remember thinking to myself, wow there is nothing that Kya wants more than a baby sister or brother what a great Forever Family Day gift that would be for her. I was going to have Shawn stop to get a test on the way home but chickened out.

The next day November 2ND we were packing for a trip to Oklahoma. I decided that I really should have Shawn go buy me a test...no not one test buy two tests please. He came home with a pack of Three. I got in bed that night and could not sleep, I was too chicken to take the test but at the same time I could not wait to know anymore. I went in around 11pm and took the test. I did not even finish peeing on the test when it came up POSITIVE...I totally could not believe my eyes. I was literal in SHOCK. I put the test in a drawer and laid down on the bathroom couch...every few minutes I would get up and go look at the test...yup still positive every time. Jagger then started crying for me so I just went in and went to bed.

The next morning November 3rd Kya and I were leaving to go to Grandma Paige’s for a few days and I just could not believe the test I took before so I took test #2....again Positive. I told Shawn about 5 minutes before we left for the Airport and he was more than shocked.

When we got to Grandma’s I was about to BUST to tell her. We had dinner at Aunt Janet’s then We headed into Perry to get me a large Ice Water with Lime to drink from Sonic. While at Sonic Grandma started telling me how she just did not know if she would be around much longer. I looked at her and said well Grandma you better keep kicking until July. She looked at me silly and said Why honey are you coming back to see me in July. I said NOPE, but I will be GIVING BIRTH to a BABY! You should have seen the huge SMILE on her face. I am pretty sure all her illness’s went away and she is going to stay around for a few more years!

I had not planned on telling anyone else over in Perry until I knew more and had been to a Dr. But I woke up the next morning I was spotting. My cousin Dana happen to call just after I saw the spotting and had taken the 3rd test. I guess I sounded kind of funny because she was like are you OK...and I was like NO, I was not going to say anything....and then she said but your pregnant.....I was like WHAT how did you guess that? So she calmed me down enough to make it through the morning. Grandma spoiled you already you little firecracker with Fried Potatoes for breakfast every morning. It was also so cool thinking about the fact that the nights we slept with Grandma and Nana their were really 4 of us in the bed not just 3....well 5 at Grandma’s if you count Dax! I then went to Wal Mart and bought another brand 3 pack of tests...haha...no one told me I can’t have a false positive. I really wanted to tell my Mom and Alicia to their face but because of the spotting and the idea that I may have to go to the ER. I had to call them and tell them over the phone. I think Alicia was in as much shock as me and my mom was SUPER HAPPY at the thought of being NANA yet again. We laughed and laughed and just were amazed at this super baby surprise! So by the time I had left Oklahoma Grandma, Nana, Alicia, Dana, Janet and Mike, Paige Lynn, Jerry, Cassie, Sonny John, and Katie all knew about you BABY TRES....as in THREE!

Tres Bebe!
