The Start of Something New

"It's the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you." Oh oh..

So, I listen to High School Musical too much. It's my daughters fault! lol

I thought I would start this blog to follow my pregnancy this time around. The last one was quite the experiment and my daughter, well she has her own story too. I'm hoping and praying that this one will actually be normal and low key. Yeah, that would be nice.

Being that I am already into week 7 (tomorrow) of my pregnancy, I thought this time was as good as any to start jotting down some things pertaining to the little bean and my trials.

So, the last two weeks have been interesting. I have had nausea and dizziness. I have also been somewhat tired. Seemed like the first two weeks I knew of the pregnancy I wanted to drink nothing but water and a lot of it. Last week I ate not much of anything but I soon found out that if I ate, I actually felt better. My stomach was growling for anything I could find but my mind would not let me eat. I finally just made myself start eating over the weekend and the nausea went away. I did stop drinking the water which I know is bad but I'm going to be working on that next. I started keeping the large thermos like container I got from the hospital of my last L&D filled up with water. If I could drink that whole things throughout the day, that would be plenty of water - hopefully. If you know me, I don't drink one glass usually.

Going back to the time I found out I was pregnant: It was May 18th. I took three pregnancy tests, not on the same day. I know some of you crazy ladies probably did. I was over that. I actually waited at least two days between each test. Two were the sticks from earlypregnancytest.com and the other was first response or something like that (bought from the drug store). Kevin wanted to see a "real" test. HAHA I was a little concerned this time because the lines didn't appear as dark as they did when I was pregnant with Brady or as fast, but that could just be the tests themselves. They were positive and that is all that matters.




Since then, things have been okay. We just started telling people yesterday. I was going to wait until after the doctors appointment but just waiting the almost four weeks that we've known already has been hard enough. My first visit is this coming Thursday. It is a new doctor and I plan on having a list of questions. That will most likely be a post all to its own.


Hopefully this pregnancy will be boring which won't make for great reading but I'll try to make it interesting. I do have two other kiddos to keep up with. That should be amusing at the very least.
