A visit from an old acquaintance...

Not one I wanted either. Early on in my pregnancy I was sick and tired alot. Yesterday I hit a certain point of the day and my body crashed on me. I was tired and got sick. I must have drank 6 bottles of water and still wanted more. Between the extreme thirst I had heartburn. Then this morning I got sick too.
I consulted my trusty baby bible and found at this point in my pregnancy it's all normal.
I feeling much better now but feel very guilty I spent a better part of my weekend sleeping.
I did manage in between the crazy sickness to put away a couple bags of baby clothes and pack away some of my winter clothes.
I have also found at this stage in my baby growing pants are no fun.
I have taken to walking around the house in my husbands various sports jerseys. Chris says I should design clothes for pregnant ladies like myself who can't handle anything on their tummy.
I let him know I think Liz Lange is doing a fine job. :)
I need to drink some water...

So this is what they are going to feel like!

They being contractions.
Yes ladies and gentlemen I had my first bunch today while shopping. They were so bad I am still trying to figure out how I made it from the card aisle to my car. I am sure the cashier thought I was a real sweetie not really but hey...
On a bright note if this is an indicator I will not be a happy camper but I will survive.
I have a visit with my doctor tomorrow and called them when I got home today.
Basically it's true labor when you have four or more contractions in an hour.
I only had two.
The scary thing I am only 32 weeks. My little lady needs to cook some more.
The wonderful thing is that even if she were to come now it would be a doable situation, not the best one but doable.
I of course pulled my traditional call my Mom when I don't feel good. So when I was able to get out of the car I called my Mom who thought I had a cold...
oops...
So yes need to call my doctor first. :)
I am doing ok now am a little tired and crashed for about 2 hours.
Starting to understand why the call pregnancy a rollercoaster ride!
And I am digging it!

Baby Class

So Chris and I attended our only baby class yesterday. It was from 9-4. Which in theory really isn't a long day except when your pregnant or tired.
We hung in there in the morning but after lunch the class collectively was fading fast.
It was very interesting to be in a room with that many pregnant people. Our teacher was awesome. She is the mother of 4 boys and had everyone at our hospital!
The questions were very helpful and we got a tour of the birthing center.
It was great to have quesstions answered by someone who really, truly knows.
Your friends and family mean well but sometimes that advice is heavily peppered by opinion.
The class gave Chris and I to really talk about our birthing plan and give him a better insight for what to expect when labor starts.
I am very proud of him and so lucky to be tackling this new adventure with such a wonderful guy.
The last push on the baby room happens today then we start painting I can't wait to see her little space come together.
Bonus Wisconsin has returned to the type of weather I love and I havete windows open ... this is why we put up with winter. At least why I do!

Rotissiere Chicken my new addiction

So as my pregnancy ramps up my new craving - rotissiere chicken. I normally don't ask Chris to get anything fo rme because I pick up any cravings on my way home from work. Last night was the exception.
I started thinking about the chicken and couldn't stop.
My husband finally broke down and took me.
What is sad - almost all the chicken is gone.
And I am ready for another.
Seriously some of the best, yummy food $5 can buy!

It's me :(

So you know the person who can bing the conversation down? Yep it was me yesterday. I feel so bad. Chris's friends are always so nice to me and before Man night they invited us to dinner. Conversation always goes all over well we started talking about Don Imus then the War came up. I have two close friends who are being very impacted by it and so I put in my two cents. Suddenly the table went quiet and the comment was made that suddenly the dessert didn't taste good anymore.
I feel so bad! That wasn't my intention, but in my family while eating we talk about everything. Nothing is off limits and you know someone may say something you may not like.
I sometimes forget that is not always how other people are.
I will survive it but I feel like as result my husband may receive less invitations to dinner... :(

Why am I up at 7:30?!

Because I am sick and my baby does not like me to sleep in apparently! :)

My husband was kind enough to take me out to dinner last night to of course my favorite Mexican restaurant - Laredos. We always get such great service there and the food comes quick and is yummy.
We have been going there for years and last night they were teasing us about ordering an extra side of food for the baby. We are both excited to know there is a restaurant in town that we can take the baby and we won't be shot dirty looks. They even have a kids night!
I personally can't wait til I can indulge in a Margarita again. I probably will pass out after one sip though.

Aside from yummy Mexican I had lunch with one of my girlfriends and she made me Panini's and Almond cake!!! So I am feeling a little spoiled today. My leftovers are just not going to cut it I think. :)

I am excited to finish up my nesting project. I have 3 junk drawers left in the kitchen and some misc. stuff in the living room and our upstairs is no longer a disaster. The baby's room is still a work in progress but now it's more boxes that need to be moved than anything else. It is still mind boggling to think in a few short weeks that room will have a new tenant. One I can't wait to meet.

10 weeks and counting!

So I had my last monthly doctor's appointment yesterday. From here on out it will be every two weeks then my last month weekly.
We are both doing great and are right on track.
I finally look pregnant not like I had a hearty lunch.
I am pretty much all belly.
It's exciting to feel her kick and now that I am growing a person!
My nesting is in full effect. I have cleaned and rearranged every room in our upstairs.
The basement is my husband's space so I am letting him do his thing.
I only have 5 more weeks of preschool and am not sure what I am going to do with myself.
I love my kids and it is going to be so hard not to see them, but it will be nice to be able to sit and not be on my feet. Although I am afraid that sedentary life for my last few weeks might cause me to balloon.
Time will tell.
We have been taking pictures so if I ever get my act together I will post them for you all to laugh at. :)

Have you ever?

Had a friend who takes info and twists it, basically fibs to make you feel bad?
I have had coworkers who have and still do but to be honest that to me is par for the course when you work with people...
But a friend.
?
I dont' want to upset anyone so I am not going to disclose too much, but this person took something that is going to be pretty cool for me and has turned into something I now feel bad about. Here is the thing this person is not always the most reliable. So what is going on is their own making but they are pushing blame onto me...
UGH

I feel bad this person is hurt but I also understand all too well why the decision was made to not completely include them.
I guess you can't make everyone happy...

Baby Crazy

So we registered for the baby this weekend.
Unlike when we registered for our wedding we went crazy with the scanner. 67 items and to be honest we could have added more but guilt and sleepiness caused us to stop.
Our first shower is in May our second a week before the baby comes. As Chris put it one reason for my Mom coming is when we say "oh shoot we didn't get this", we send her.
In theory :)
I am just excited to be sharing this with the people we love.
I am on Spring Break this week from preschool which means a short week for me.
So excited two more days of work then I will be continuing my attack on the babys room.
Our goal is to have it ready for paint ... we'll see how that goes.
Something that might help is me not weeding the front yard and overdoing it. Although I must say our yard looks nice and since it is suppossed to snow this week had to be done.
Oh and did I mention we will be doing one of my favorite things on Saturday?
That's right our first Brewers game baby!
Just wish it weren't going to be so cold, I love eating my dog and stadium sauce with the roof open.
I'll deal.
