Keeping busy is easy

We are planning a vacation to DISNEY WORLD  for the end of August and I am very excited about this! This will be our first family vacation and it will be 3 years since we went on vacation. People keep telling me to wait until J is older because he won't remember but we will take lots of pics and he will be very engaged during the moment so thats all we care about. We're planning our vacation for our Anniversary week so it will be nice to celebrate in Florida. I'm also working on remodeling our apartment little by little and I plan on starting with the bathroom first. I want to paint and redecorate everything and I'm still working on keeping my home organized and clutter free which is a challenege with a toddler tornado running around.

   Last night I broke down and started crying about our loss. It hurts it really does, but I'm trying to be grateful for the beautiful 20 month old I have and for his good health. In terms of trying again or having other children I don't think it's in the cards for me right now. I need to find a specialist and I'm terrified of having another miscarriage, or premature birth. In the words of one of my fellow moms in my sons playgroup I will never say never but as of right now I will be looking into birth control for at least the next few years. That makes me sad :(

Whatever happened to Fit Momma and Nugget?

I had a miscarriage April 18, 2013 I thought I was 12 weeks but baby stopped growing sometime after our last ultrasound (8 weeks). We lost our little nugget and I needed a break from the sites I frequented when pregnant. I'm not ready to go into more details or talk about it but we're okay. I'm trying to eat healthy again and fit exercise into my crazy busy schedule.

We have a heartbeat!!

I went today for my follow up dating ultrasound and we saw the heartbeat and baby! The baby is measuring 6 weeks 1 day and I calculated 7 weeks based off LMP so I definitley ovulated late! I'm now due November 3rd. but that may change again. Our little nugget's heartrate was 111 and we are already in love with him/her.

Picky Preggo?

     Today I'm around 6w5d ...I've been so nauseous and it's been an all day thing that is pretty unbearable to deal with. I can barely eat most foods because of the smell or because it tastes different. I broke down and took some zofran today because I had to work ten hours today and I knew there was no way I would make it through my shift without vomiting over everyone tossing my cookies. My appetite stinks everything sounds gross to me, or if I get food I will look at it and smell it and it will make me sick! Someone at work said "You might be having a girl" *insert happy squeals from inside* and I thought to myself "maybe" becuase I didn't have nausea this bad with J and I only threw up once or twice for the entire pregnancy. Maybe I was lucky but I feel bad complaining about this. The only thing that makes me feel better is sleeping or eating small meals more frequently. I can't wait for the second trimester when this should get better for me, in the mean time I'm a walking dead women  I'll try and rest and tough it out for the next few weeks.
   The other thing that is bothering me is the fact that I can smell everything!! My cat litter box (which DH cleans) makes me want to vomit even if I walk too close I can smell it a mile away. I can't stand the smell of onions, my sons dirty diapers (talk about repulsive), pee (toilet must be flushed at all times), anything with a foul odor makes it worse and I gagged all morning trying to clean my house. I hate eating m&m's now which used to be my favorite candy!! My favorite food right now would be a bacon egg and cheese sandwhich, it's light and keeps me full. My ultrasound is Monday so I will be speaking with them regarding the nausea I know it only gets worse from here.

 

All day sickness

Warning: This post is about nausea








You know that thing people call morning sickness? Well apparently I'm so lucky I get all day sickness. For the entire day I have waves of really bad nausea and a strange taste in my mouth that makes me want to gag. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling so nauseous I thought I was going to vomit and I couldn't. I haven't actually vomited yet but I would really love to so I could get some relief! This is the reason you might see less posts from me, sorry this exhastion and nausea are kicking my arse I don't know if I can be supermom afterall.

First ultrasound update!

I had my ultrasound Monday at exactly 6 weeks and to my disappointment the tech said I was way too early and there was no heartbeat yet, just a sac. They never measured anything I was just told "it's too soon"  :(

So I'm scheduled for the following Monday (exactly 1 week) to have a follow up ultrasound appointment for dating. Now I'm a nervous wreck and this is going to be the longest week ever. My dates may be wrong because I didn't use opks or chart so I have no idea when I actually ovulated I just went by my last period to estimate my due date. So I'm 6w2d according to LMP but I may be closer to 6 weeks. The tech said you can't see the heartbeat until around 7 weeks so that made me feel a little better. If they don't see anything at my next appointment they will draw blood and check my beta levels but I'm praying it doesn't come down to that. Now I feel like a fool for shooting it to the mountain tops  telling a few people because of something bad possibly happening. Symptom-wise I feel very pregnant! Nausea, fatigue, increased thirst/appetite, hormonal are just a few of the wonderful things I'm dealing with haha. Today I noticed I get verrry painful gas pains and a little indegestion...how sexy! I'm sure DH will be all over me tonight!

Strollers really cost this much?

I started telling my boss about how people were ooing and ahhing over the new stroller we bought Jace. It's nothing special, just a Chicco Liteway it only set us back $139 and we loveeee it. It's super light and stylish too :)





He then proceeded to tell me that he has a Stokke stroller which set him back $1,000. (insert jaw dropping)



Yes, he's richer than I.

Then I saw that Aston Martin has a stroller made with Italian leather and blah blah blah




The price tag on it? $3,000! So I'll stick with my Chicco Liteway stroller, thankyouverymuch.
