Hey guys,
I know this might sound strange, but it feels like I'm both flying through this pregnancy... and dragging through it at the same time! Some days I'm like " wow I'm already 14 weeks!" Other days I'm like " Ugh, I'm ONLY 14 weeks?" I'm moving along slowly but surely.
So let me just say that I have been SO tired this week. Saturday night I went to bed at 9:30 pm and didn't get up until 9:30 am Sunday. I was so nauseous and dizzy the entire day though. Nothing I did made me feel any better. I ended up going back to sleep around 11am and getting up at 1pm. It was a super lazy day, but I'm glad I was able to just rest, despite how miserable I was.
Monday was our second appointment. Our original plan was to take separate cars, so that after our 9 am appointment we could both go straight to work. However... Baby Raffe decided that I needed to have a gag fest all morning, so Chris decided to drive us. We got to the Dr. at 8:45 and we were back in the car by 9:10. Super quick appointment! We heard the heart beat again, and then we asked some questions and we were out!
We were on the way home and I kept whining about being so nauseous. All of the sudden Chris had to slam on his breaks for a light. That was when things went down hill! Something about the slamming on the breaks really messed with my stomach. I guess everything was sloshing around in there. Chris started driving again.. and it hit me. I covered my mouth and said " OH NO!" Chris asked if I needed him to pull over and all I could say was " I don't know.. I don't know." He turned into a Racetrack gas station and I knew in that moment I was going to be throwing up in public! His car stays locked unless you are not in motion so I'm frantically trying to get the dang door open, and so is he. Finally he gets it unlocked, I fling the door open and fold over so my body is hanging out the door and just threw up like CRAZY. I'm talking 10 minutes of throwing up. Oh and guess what... It was raining, so I got drenched. I sat up for a second to try and get some air only to see Chris had his phone in my face recording the whole thing! After that I felt SO much better than I had in the last few days.
My Dr. had started me on a new medicine that she said would make me feel tired, but it would help. We picked it up on Monday night. I took one Tuesday morning and I was falling asleep the entire drive to work. I sat at work barely able to function. I knew that there was no way I could take those at work. It just wouldn't work out. I have been taking them at night though to help me sleep. Now that I'm in my 2nd tri I'm not so worried anymore, which is good.
My next appointment will be July 22 and the Dr. said if the sono tech can see the gender then we will find out then! :) So excited! I am so happy my little raffe is growing healthy and happy.
That's it for this week!
Thanks for reading!

Two for One: Weeks 12-13
Hey Guys!!
I want to start off by saying I am so amazed by the fact that there are 457 page views on this blog! Thank you to those who are reading along and reliving your past pregnancies, experiencing pregnancy with me as we speak, or to those who are just curious about what pregnancy is all about!! I hope I can continue to keep you entertained in the months to come! :) I didn't get around to writing a blog for week 12 because I was busy and grumpy last week so this week will be about 12 and 13!
WEEK 12: I thought this was supposed to get easier now!
So as I've stated before, I started taking Zofran at week 6 and the stuff really helped me! I was able to make it through my day without feeling miserable. All of the sudden last week, they just stopped. I even wondered one day if I had forgotten to take it because I was so miserable. That's when I realized I was getting a taste of how these ladies feel who Zofran doesn't work on them. It SUCKS! All of the sudden it was like I can't just eat when I want or what I want because my body turns its nose to it as soon as I take a bite! The funniest thing is... I can eat french fries, fried pickles, mac and cheese and hold it down just fine, but the second I try and eat something wholesome..the baby laughs at me. Typical child I suppose. One night last week I literally ate jack in the box egg rolls for dinner. I've figured out that at this point.. if I can hold something down without feeling miserable 2 bites in, then its best to just go with it and try not feel guilty about it.
Friday night was fun, we went to Hooter's to celebrate my friends 27th birthday. I looked forward to it ALL week! Those wings were calling my name and I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. We got there and we had to wait at the front FOREVER ( not really but it felt like it). It was super hot so I was already in a crappy mood. We finally get our table and we order out appetizers. I ordered fried pickles, and celery with ranch. I downed the celery as soon as it came out. The fried pickles were delicious! My parents ordered some chili cheese fries. I took one bite and said.. nope, no thanks! FINALLY my wings arrived and I dug in. I made it through one wing successfully and then I started feeling sick. I kept telling myself " it gets better, just take a break and then try again" I made it through a quarter of my second wing and realized.. NOPE. :( So sad!
I've also noticed that I haven't been able to sleep as good anymore. I'm constantly waking up in the middle of the night SO uncomfortable. I've tried sleeping with a body pillow and sleeping with just a regular pillow in between my legs and still no help! I love sleeping and so this is just no fun at all!
Saturday My BFF came over and we organized the baby's soon to be closet. Before organization it was pretty much just a storage space. We found homes throughout the house for everything not baby related and it looks GREAT! :) I pretty much go in there everyday and look at all my baby things and ponder about how in 6 months I will actually be using these things, and even sooner than that, the room will be baby-fied and adorable. I. CANT. WAIT!
WEEK 13: Again... Isn't this supposed to be easier now?
OK. Now I am in week 13 which is the last week of Trimester 1! Woo Hoo. Honestly I think the morning sickness has been tougher this week than any other week. I mean honestly though.. inst this supposed to be easing up a bit? It is now to the point where I'm basically nauseous morning, noon and night. My mom found me some gum and it helps, but its $12.99 for 24 pieces so I try to only use it when super necessary. I either have to drink milk for breakfast or eat greek yogurt because my little baby raffe has decided that eggs no longer taste good. Chris bought us these delicious breakfast burritos and it smelled so good. I took a bite and started gagging on it. Monday night I drank a glass of milk for dinner. LIKE A CAT! Milk doesn't bother me at all so at least I can get some calcium in my system.
This morning I got really hot, and on top of that I was super nauseous so I thought I was going to pass out. I was so pale like a ghost. Thankfully it passed, but the nausea has been with me all day.
I've been super emotional this week and that's expected. My poor poor husband... he'll ask " Why are you crying?" The only thing I know to say is " because I can!"
I'm hoping week 14 will be better. I'll be heading to my 2nd appointment on Monday so next weeks post should be a fun one!
Until next week!

Week 11: Am I already getting pregnancy brain?
Hey guys!
It's time for my weekly update! I'm almost out of trimester one! I can honestly say that other than week 6, this week has been the hardest. I haven't been sleeping well (Although Sunday I did sleep for almost 11 hours), I've been so extremly tired, and I pretty much cant eat any type of meat now. A few weeks ago it got to the point where I could only eat chicken, and then last Friday I ate half a chicken tender from chicken express and felt super sick! Hopefully that will go away within the next week or so!!!
I'm pulling out my summer clothes and realizing that it might be time to get some new shorts! They are getting a little snug around the waist! oddly enough I've only gained a pound so far but BOY do I feel like my scale is broken or something!
The only other thing I have to write about this week is that I'm pretty sure I'm already getting pregnancy brain. Here are a few things I've done so far the past 2 weeks:
1) I missed my street without realizing I missed my street last week. I turned onto the street behind mine, made it halfway down the street and then realized I was not on my street!
2) I had an e-mail to send out last Wednesday which is something I do several times a week. I got home from work, and about an hour later went to wash my hair. While washing my hair I screamed "I FORGOT TO SEND THE E-MAIL!" So I was sitting there on my Iphone trying to send an e-mail out to thousands of people. It worked though so phew!
3) I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of times I've either left my phone in the car when I get home from work and cannot find it... or set my phone down somewhere in the house I would never set my phone and then go frantically searching around the house for it!
4) I think this one is my favorite! As you know we have Sunny and Sizzles who are chihuahuas, they get 1.5 scoops of food every meal, and then we have Saydee our pitbull who gets an entire bowl of food. I went to feed them the other day and I gave them all their bowls. Saydee kept staring at me like I had done something wrong but she is really bad about getting distracted and not eating so I just kept telling her to eat her food. Chris got home from work and went to pick up Sunny and Sizzles bowls (We feed them on the couch) Sizzles bowl was empty but Sunny's bowl looked like he hadn't eaten any of it. Chris asked if Sunny just didn't want to eat, but I remembered him eating!!! All of the sudden it dawned on me that I swapped the dogs food amounts! No wonder Saydee was looking at me funny because I was starving her! Sizzles got a nice heaping bowl of food that day and she's chunky so she didn't mind at all!
That's it for this week. I'm hoping that this weekend I can sleep in and be lazy. It's been tough waking up at 6:30 (last week i slept until 6:45.. this week its been 6:50) I guess God is just trying to slowly prepare me for not getting much sleep once the baby gets here. I hope I can just get used to being tired! I feel like a slug today!
Well until next week! :)
