10 weeks pregnant

The worst week of Nausea ever! But im showing a little bit, but I did just eat a big breakfast before this pic was taken... lol

My dog Dixie

Dixie is a Jack Russel Terrior, she is very hyper and kinda ADD. Anthony and I got Dixie when she was 1 year old from someone he works with back in September 2007. She has always been really hyper and she loves to cuddle. She did very well with Lucian and our neices and nephews until recently. Dixie was laying on my lap when Lucian came up to lay with me. Dixie grawled and nipped at his face! and a few days later she grawled and showed teeth at him when he tried getting into his own bed. So, pretty much we have to find Dixie a new home :( It is sad that she doesnt do well with kids. I enjoy cuddling with her and playing fetch with her. I am going to have a hard time finding her a new home.

My 1st OB/GYN appointment.

May 12th I had my first appointment with Dr. Laurent Nicolov at the Pavillion for Women and Children. Anthony and I had to take seperate cars because he had to go to work after the appt. I got there before him by a few min. and had to do a urine specimen. Anthony was trying to call me while I was in the restroom to find out what floor I was on and my phone dropped out of my pocket into the toilet as I was flushing! Anyways, I went into my appt. and met Violet who is the medical assistant. She is very nice and had to ask a lot of history questions about Anthony and I. Then I met Dr. Nicolov, he was very friendly and answered all the questions we had. He did a pelvic ultra sound where we found out I was 8 weeks along and my due date is December 23rd. We originally thought it was December 12th! Anyways, we saw the baby who looked like a little gummy bear at the moment and we saw a rapid heart beat! which was AMAZING and great to see! My next visit I will get to hear it! Anyways, we were very excited and glade to see baby is healthy!

Something in the Water at AC3

My church AC3 (Allen Creek Community Church) must have something in the water... I have four other friends who are pregnant as well right now. Jenni, who is due on June 12th (any day now). Jamie who is due on September 12th. And Sarah who is due on Halloween, and Elizabeth, who actually attends the church that I grew up in, but she is pregnant with Twins and due in the beginning of November or ealier since its twins. I am very excited and blessed to have so many friends to share this journey with, we are all very excited and im glad our little babies will be able to grow up together!

Morning sickness and sleepyness

So far I have only got sick once, and I think its because I ate 3 huge bowls of Oh's (a cereal) I had been craving. Anyways, I still get pretty nauseous and sometimes Gag when I have an empty stomach. But, I think I have been pretty fortunate thus far. As far as sleeping goes... I cant get enough. After work I am exhausted. I come home and crash on the couch. I try to go to a swim class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (its called aquafit) at the Pillchuck pool. But, its torture some days. And I have a very hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I want to press snooze like 50 times. Or if I could just turn it off and not go to work that would be great, but that never will happen. I just want to take a long nap and cuddle with Anthony 24/7.

My first craving

Since I just found this blog today I am puting in updates from the last month. Anyways, sometime in the beginning of May I had my first craving.. I was at work and Kristin, my co-worker was eating a nice big cheeseburger from Jack in the Box. Normally, burgers are not appetizing to me cause they are greesy and fatty... . But after I saw that I had to have a burger! Later that night Anthony and I went to Red Robin and I got a nice big burger and fries! it was amazing!

Buddy the Elf

Since Anthony and I are due around Christmas we gave our little baby a nickname after one of our favorite Christmas Movies, Buddy the Elf. We decided that if Buddy is born before Christmas, then on Christmas day we will dress him/her up as buddy the elf. Yes, I know we are dorks. But we are very excited to do this. So hopefully baby will be here before Christmas day!

Pregnancy Test

On April 15th, 2010 Anthony and I decided to take a pregnancy test. I have taken many tests in the past few months. I did not expect that I would have a positive test. Anthony had bought me some cheap tests from the dollar store, so I also thought they would not be accurate. Anyways, I took the test and put it on the bathroom counter and started to get ready for work. Thinking it was just going to be negative anyways. About a minute or so later Anthony looks at me and says "there's a second line." it was very faint so we both looked at it for a minute and there deffinatly was a faint line! we were both very excited and happy, we coulnt believe it! we hugged and kissed and then promiced we would keep it a secret until I took a more accurate test. Of course though, since I work at a clinic, I grabbed a test from work, peed on the stick, and gave it to my nurse. She came up to me and confirmed that YES, It is deffinatly a positive pregnancy test!
