I am VERY excited about being pregnant!! Although, some of it leaves me pouting and not feeling like myself. I thought I was going to be a pro pregnant person up until about 7 1/2 weeks. THEN IT HIT! I have had every stomach ailment you could ask for. The worst have been being nauseated and indigestion. You never know when they are going to hit. It is mainly in the afternoon and last into the night. Going to sleep is really the only thing that cures it. BUT it has hit me in the mornings too and being at school with a bunch of 1st graders and feeling like that is NOT fun. I hope that it ends soon and does not last into my second trimester. I am 10 weeks right now so maybe only 3 or 4 weeks left.
The Bump. I feel funny saying that I have bump, a very small one, but I think I do. It seems like it is too early for it, but I have not gained weight and my regular pants are a little tight. I had to do the rubber band thing for the first time the other day. I do know that my stomach is harder than usual and I can't suck in. Has anyone else been able to tell this early??
Dan. He is trying to understand, but poor thing he just doesn't (and it has caused some problems :)). He can't understand why I am not myself all the time anymore. He really doesn't understand why I just come home from work and want to sit down and do nothing, even on the weekends. He thinks I am a dud. And remember, that is when I feel the worst (afternoons and nights). I do feel bad for him though because I really do not cook him supper anymore. By that time the smell of food and looking at food does not go well with me. I try my best, but it is pretty pitiful at our house during supper time. I hope we both get a little more understanding soon....
Speaking of food... it is crazy the way I have become very picky. I have never been a picky eater, but I am now. All I seem to want to eat is fruit and salty carbs. Meat makes me want to vomit. We went to the beach with my family this weekend and Dan grilled his famous ribs and chicken that I usually LOVE. Well, the smell of that did really bad things to me. Drinks are really weird too. I used to say that I couldn't live without a Diet Coke. I was actually worried about being pregnant and not being able to have any. I think that was the first question I asked the doctor. But I really don't want them much anymore. And really no drink has seemed very appealing to me, but I feel like I really want something hydrating. It is weird! Does this last the whole pregnancy?
Excited? YES I am so excited and can't wait until I have Baby J. I hope it doesn't seem like forever. I also am so anxious to find out what it is so I can start planning.
I have my next appointment next Wednesday and I will be 11 weeks. Hopefully we will see more of a baby on the ultrasound. Until then, please pray that I make it through Friday without going crazy. Friday is our last day of school then we are out for summer and I don't think it will get here soon enough.
I'll be back after I go to my appointment next week with an update.
** Sorry I didnt post pics, but I havent taken any lately.

Ha Ha! You sound SO much like me the whole first trimester of my pregnancy. For me, it just sort of magically went away at about 12 weeks, and I woke up one day with all this energy. I remember Hays being impressed that I was awake past 7:30pm. I am usually a neat freak, and I would leave dishes and dirty clothes EVERYWHERE. Ha! AND I also started wearing maternity jeans at 10 weeks, and they felt wonderful! Don't let it get you down. Hays was kind of the opposite of Dan, he came down with every single ailment that I had. He even threw up at my first doctor's appointment.
I am sure you will feel better soon, then you will wear yourself out "nesting!"
sounds like someone else I know....pout all you want/need to. I promise it will be over soon!!
oh and maybe a faygo would be good to drink?? ha
It all changes so quickly, so in a few weeks, I promise you won't even remember this! And go buy some maternity pants. I like Target's the best. And I still wear them! No joke. They are so comfortable. I know why old ladies wear elastic waistband pants now!
I'll have Gee call Dan! I have cooked dinner I think one time in the last 31 weeks. Thank goodness Grover can cook. We laughed so hard at Dan's message the other day. We loved the names Derwood Wayne and Misty Dawn! Can't wait to find out which one it is.
hang in there...it gets better! I craved salty food and fruit with William. And sweet junk food with Ava. Can't wait to find out if baby J. is a boy or girl!!!
I can't comment on the morning sickness-mine lasted 9 months, but I can hope and pray you feel better really soon!
I'm with Lauren on the Target maternity pants...THE best. I think I got my first pair of maternity pants at 8 weeks. Oh, and I still wear mine too! ha!
