Ok so I totally hit something and lost of the blog I was just writing. So I'm going to give the "cliff notes" version"

Tomorrow is the first trimester sonogram. Hopefully we will be able to hear the heartbeat too; going to ask the nurse.

Starting to show a little.

Eating many small meal instead of few big meals helps a little bit.

Nausea is intense, vomitting not as bad as it was with Chloe, but nausea is worse and super fatigure. Excited for school to be out so I can rest.

School is going ok. Keeping up.

That was about it in a nutshell...going to go now...

Morning all...

So tired this morning. This has been a tough week. The nausea has definitely kicked in with a vengeance. My appetite sucks.They say to help with the nausea to eat 6-8 small meals a day rather than 3 big meals a day. It's so hard to eat as it is, that many meals is pretty difficult.

I'm excited because we get to see our baby for the first time on Tuesday. I know the little one is very small right now, but I'm still excited. I've been wondering if the baby will be big enough and developed enough to hear the heartbeat.

For those in the labs or kitchen or wherever it is you work at the Hot Pocket factory, leave well enough alone. I just had a hot pocket for the first time in months.

It doesn't help that I'm pregnant and my emotions and tastesbud are all out of wack, but if you're trying to fancy your hot pockets up by sprinkling all kinds of little flavorings on the top...don't.

Put the hot pocket back the way it was.

This is probably just the ranting of a crazy pregnant lady, but I was looking very forward to that hot pocket and was highly disappointed.

Totally coincidental that this blog is exactly a week since the last one. Morning sickness is getting worse. I'm so darned fatigued. There are no cravings. Quite the opposite. Remembering the waffle fiasco from the last pregnancy (long story short no matter where I went I could never keep waffles down even if I was craving them), I'm afraid of what the aversion will be...

Actually I sort of take that back on the cravings. I have been craving doritos. We do have some I think I've just been too chicken to eat them, again the waffle fiasco!

I had my first doctor's appointment this week. Not very eventful, mainly paperwork and bloodwork. I get my first ultrasound at the end of the month.

I've been a little nauseous, today it got so bad I thought I'd have to got running to the bathroom, but it passed. Now I'm extremely hormonal with a serious case of pregnancy brain.

I've also been having what I think are those round ligament pains. I already said I've been hormonal but it is a trip I'm all over the place emotional.

Sooooo,

I'm pregnant!

Yep, after four tests saying "pregnant" I'm pretty sure...lol...

I'm probably around a month or so, when I called to make my appointment and the lady asked me the question about....when was the first day of your last...you know, well I never keep track so I gave her a round about date and she said going by that date my edd (estimated due date for those who don't know) was November 3.

Wow, it has been nearly a month since I blogged last. And this one will probably be brief also!

School is tough this semester, but now that I have all of my books I believe things will go a little more smoothly.

Chloe has not been wanting to sleep in her room for the past month or so. It has caused many a sleepless night. I have either let her sleep in our room, let her sleep on the couch or sat with her in her room til she fell asleep. Most of the time she will still get up and try to come in our room or she will end up in the strangest places, like the hall way asleep on the floor.

So, I'm back at it.

This semester is going to be tough. I finally got some courses that I think I will be able to handle alright. Only two of my classes are actually classes I need to graduate, government and history. The other two theater appreciation and survey of radio and television, are just for "fun". Not really fun at all. But it keeps me as a full time student which mean full time funding's.

Anyway. Changing the subject, I've started selling Avon! Yay so excited!

So...

Christmas has passed. It was very great! Now, let's get talking!

Brittany got clothes, a bike, a laptop, an art set, a make your own calendar set, a new game for her ds and some other little stuff.

Chloe also got clothes, a little learning laptop, a game for her vsmile baby, a power wheels barbie atv, a tea set, a little vacuum, mega blocks, and some backyardigans cds and also some other stuff.

Alex got a 200 dollar gift card to his favorite motorcycle shop. He bought a helmet today. We had to sneak and go to the store one day quickly in case he came up there!

Christmas Eve!!!!

All the gifts are wrapped and under the tree (except for those Santa is bringing of course).

The stockings are up.

We're all just sitting around. Some asleep, some awake. I was awake. Now, I'm telling Chloe not to do this or that. A few more days! Friday I need to go and get some stuff for her to have with her to take on her trip. Just little things. She is so silly!

Anyhow, since we are going to be kid-less, I wonder what we will do for New Year's. Last year we had fun! Lots of fun! Perhaps we will do something like that again.
