7 weeks and 2 days....

Hello all!!!

Well as my title says I am 7 weeks and 2 days along! I am now starting to get nauseas in the mornings and feel like someone has drained all of the energy out of me.... But I know it is all worth it. This little peanut inside me consumes my every thought... From I wonder the sex... to how much iron do I need to consume?? Is my prenatal good enough? Is this child going to range from my throat to my buttcrack because of how big my hubby is? Will my boobs every stop hurting?! haha All I want to do is eat, eat and eat some more. If I don't stop now will I be 250 lbs??? I just want this child to be healthy and happy in all aspects of life. Mark and I meet with my OB to talk about genetics this next week and see what extended panels we can do because he has some genetic anomalies his family as do I. It is pretty stressful because we were planning on doing all of this before we even started trying to conceive. I know that God will keep me and this child safe and make sure everything comes out normal... whatever that is. I am glad that I am writing this blog because I have SO many friends that are mommies out there and you all give such great advice. This is just another way for me to connect.

On another note,
My sister and nephew are leaving us on Thursday to go back to Hawaii. I wish their little family all of the best and happiness and I will be praying for them daily. It cannot be easy to be that far away from your family. Hell.. I bought the house RIGHT across the street from my parents!! My sister is one my best friends and my nephew is one of my first loves. I have learned SO much from him these past 5 months. Liv, I love you so much and I thank God every day for giving me a sister as funny and protective as you. You are a great mother and chunk loves you SO much. I cannot wait to give you your niece/nephew as a special gift for giving me Anthony. He is my angel and I love spoiling him.


Peace and fetuses all,

xoxo

I peed on the stick... And I'M PREGNANT!!!

Well, here starts my pregnancy blog.... I found out 9/11 at work and it made that terrible day SO much better! The funny thing is... nobody will be reading this for a while because we have only told very close family and friends. I am TERRIFIED of a miscarraige. With all of my health problems, I have to lay really low and chill. Mark just bought me a Saturn Vue to be safe in the winter for me and the little pudding pop. :) He is amazing! Well... anyways.. the whole prego thing... :) It's a pretty big deal because I did not know if I was even fertile or not. Turns out my appointment to start talking about conceiving with my OB is my 2nd OB appt!!! God is great. I am peeing all the time, crampy (Just a little bit), headaches and thank God no nausea.... yet. Oh yeah... and my boobs are the size of volleyballs and kill... Just thought all you pervs would love that. Mark is so excited and can't wait to be a daddy. Of course... he wants a boy and I want a girl... probably will be huge whatever it is if you know my hubby.... Can you say C-Section scars??? haha I will take ANY and EVERY advice because I know NOTHING about babies or being prego...


Tata for a bit. I am going to try to update this weekly with pics because even know you really nice girls out there say I am going to be SO CUTE :/... I am probably going to be a beached whale with a baby stretching from my throat to my buttcrack.... It WILL be a Riley!
