My first Doctors Apt.

Yesterday morning Jamie and I went for our first Doctors apt. Not much to it. Allot of paper work. He confirmed my due date to be Jan 2, 2010, and I am 7 weeks and 5 days today. He said it was to early to hear the babies heart beat so he ordered me to get an ultra sound. He did lots of test on me, and sent me to do blood work. Hopefully I will hear back by the end of the week how the blood work comes back.
I went this morning for the ultra sound and I must say that it is the coolest thing ever! Everything is normal, the heart is beating and there is only 1 baby in there. I made it reality for me.
Anyway, not feeling to good right now, we will keep you posted.

Saturday

This week has been on the up side. I haven't gotten sick and I am learning to control my sickness. Then came Saturday. I had started my day off with some Fruity Pebbles. About an hour when getting ready for work, up came the Fruity Pebbles. After that I was done for the day. I was weak, shaky, nauseous, and afraid to eat anything. And of course this was the only "day" I had to work this week. 4 weeks and counting.

Week 7 and miserable

This week has been a tough week for the Leigh household. Wednesday was my birthday and I couldn't muster up enough energy to much of anything. We went to my parents for the afternoon, then off to work I had to go. Thursday was THE WORST! I had to be to work at 10 am, and upon arrival I dry heaved all morning at work. The smells were horrible, I was tired and was receiving no sympathy from anybody. After I got home on Thursday I took a nap and hoped that my wonderful husband would cook for me. After that I think each day has gotten better as I have learned to cope and manage the nausea. I have learned that the trick is to keep you stomach even all day. Never, let me say that again, Never let your stomach go empty. That's when it gets really bad, and don't eat to much other wise you feel like a big pile of poop. And I think for me the exhaustion is what kick starts that sickness, but who knows.

1 more week till I get to go see doc. I am really excited. I just want to hear that we have a normal pregnancy and the baby is doing fantastic. It might even seem like the symptoms are lighting up a little bit.
Moms day was wonderful as Jamie and I went to spend the day with my mom. And to my surprise there was a present awaiting my arrival. I got some cute baby stuff and a shirt. Thanks mom. Jamie was only there for a bit, his wife sent him on a mission. I was in the mood for some grilled cheese, chips and a pickle and mom was out, so Jamie first went to the mall to get my watch fixed, then to the gas station 'cause I left no gas in my car for him, then to the house to get bread, then to the store to get pickles and chips. (I have the best husband ever!) And I don't think it was a "craving" like most women talk about, but I have been so sick that, that was the only thing that sounded good.
Jamie, my husband has been the best husband a sick prego women could ask for! He has done ALL the house chores, ALL shopping, listen to ALL my complaints, and he still loves me. I have felt very guilty over the past couple of weeks not being able to do much, well anything, around the house. But hope fully this week will be a new week.

Sick as a dog

Yesterday was the worst by far. I felt like I had just come off a roller coaster all day. And work, Oh my gosh that sucks! Everybody asks whats wrong and you don't feel like talking to any body, your tired and not to mention every plate of food that you see makes you want to barf!
This morning is not as bad. I have not tossed any cookies yet.

My Birthday

Well today is my birthday and I threw up for the first time. And so it begins......

Week 6 and Tired

The beginning of week six and I am soooo tired! I sleep through the night and 1/2 hour after I wake up I'm ready to go back to bed.
This week at work was pretty good. I mostly had single shifts. I did have one double and it just about killed me. By the end of the night I was ready to cry and sleep.
Baby is about the size of a choc. sprinkle this week and growing arms and legs. (We call it a he :) Not much more is going on right now, I am feeling a little bloated, and my boobs are doing some really weird things but other than that I am thanking God for a smooth ride so far. My heartburn has gone away as well as the pinching feeling. My anxiety is starting to lessen day by day.
Believe it or not my emotions have not YET gone crazy. (And I am sure for those who know me this is surprising) The only thing that is really upsetting me is if someone ask me how I feel and I tell them some symptoms such as ; I am tired. They come back and say, "well maybe its this______ I don't think you could be that tired being pregnant." And yes I have had multiple people say that to me, and when I would usually brush it off, I get really upset.

My first doc apt. is coming up in two weeks and I cant wait! This past 2 weeks have been some of the slowest in my life. I just want to make it to 13 weeks !!!!!

That's all for now we will (baby and I) talk at you later.
