Sleepy and Nauseous and Hungry, oh my!
May 28, 2008
That’s pretty much how I’ve been feeling lately. Thankfully, I’ve been able to keep all my food down for the past few days (everyone, please knock on wood now!) and the nausea typically subsides by mid-morning. But, these are all signs that there’s a little baby growing inside of me and and I couldn’t be more excited.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I’m also weepy! Last night, Collin thought it would be fun to take some pregnant pictures of me. Even though I’m only 5 weeks along and I’m not supposed to be showing at all yet, the medication I’m on has me very bloated, so I look further along that I really am. So, I was all excited to take cute pictures and be like “look at my cute pregnant belly!”. Collin got the lighting just right and was very professional with his direction…”Ok, move your head this way, and put your arm here, and smile”. As soon as I saw the pictures, I burst into tears! Instead of seeing a cute, skinny pregnant lady, I saw a bloated, chubby one in her place. Poor Collin, he just doesn’t know what to do with me. I guess I need to come to grips with my body and embrace whatever shape I get, because my prayers are being answered and all I really care about is the health of our growing baby.
I have an appointment tomorrow for another Beta test and we’re really hoping and praying for more good results. Then, next week, we have an appointment for our first ultrasound! How exciting is that???
It’s so fun to be able to share our journey with everyone. Often, people tell us that they’re following our story and that makes us feel so good.
We’ll let you all know how the appointment goes tomorrow. Also, once we get a couple of pictures that I approve of, we’ll post those as well!

Got something to say?

What you don’t see is the beautiful glow and twinkle in your eye that I see since we found out that you are pregnant. I think you are smokin’ hot…especially with your new haircut. (Pictures coming soon everyone!)
There is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman…especially one whose husband clearly adores her in every way. Can’t wait to see pictures!
