2nd appt.
i've meant to update this...i'm the lamest blogger lately.
i went to the doc a couple days ago, and met my doc, Dr. Lunt. We like him quite a bit. I told him my horrible birth story with jax, and he promised this time would not be the same! I for sure get a c-section, no questions asked. I'll get to go at 39 weeks, which is August 1st!
Everything looked fine. we hard the heartbeat which was 150. since i have a history of hypertension, they are making me do the whole pee in the jug for 24 hours thing. i haven't started it yet, but i'm definitely pumped for that being a good time. this time, i didn't even LOOK at the scale when i was weighed..i don't need that guilt, i really don't. i'm gonna get through this however i can, and then i'll become a hot, sexy, skinny, tan mama later on.
i am still nauseous in the morning if i don't eat right away. in the morning i like to cough, but i have to stop myself because it tells my pregnant body to throw up if i do that. i am loving cold cereal, which i always have. i can have a few bowls a day. i'm really really into FRESH things. this means fresh fruit (normally yuck), fresh subs, fresh salads, nothing with really strong taste, like buffalo wings or onions. the biggest surprise of my whole entire life....CHOCOLATE DOES NOT DO IT FOR ME ANYMORE... WHAT?!?! yeah weird huh. i am into fruity, juicy candy. or tart candy. currently my addiction is "sweettarts" . they tear up my mouth though. have a lot of them..you'll see what i mean. the texture though..yum. i must have it! with jax, it was all about protein. i couldn't get enough of it. i would love refried beans, chili, steak, and now with this one its opposite. i want everything FRESH and kind of bland..like a turkey sandwich. no strong flavors. that's hard for me because i love things bursting with spice and flavor. i am just hoping with this change of cravings, it means something gender wise ??
the crazy dreams are still very much happening, but i'm entertained by them. i LOVE sleep, and i will during the whole pregnancy and the rest of my life.with jax, i could also sleep like no ones business. i've been getting heartburn some nights. i'm getting better about not having to eat every hour, which is good. i was really scared of waking up one morning to being 600lbs.
oh! and guess what......we get to find out the gender early! my doc offers it for $25 to find out at 16 weeks. we will then have another ultrasound at 19 weeks to make sure of it and get other info for the docs to see. i am so dang freaking excited! that's like 11 days! eeee!!!! ok. lately i'm thinking GIRL. butttttttt that could easily mean its a boy. so now i'm really anxious to find out. and i don't know how i am going to feel if its a boy. when i went with my mom to find out what her last baby was, i was set on a girl. when they said "boy" , i cried the whole way home, stomped up the stairs, slammed my door and cried some more. that was my 3rd brother. i never got a sister. will i get a daughter? me and my friend kim , did the "wedding ring gender prediction test". we did it on her, and I'M NOT EVEN JOKING, it did her two boys, then a girl, then stopped. she already has the two boys...for me it did a boy (jax), then a girl, then stopped! its nuts. we'll have to see if its right. some people swear by it. if you don't know what it is, google it.
anyway, that's about it! i'll update soon!

First Appt.
I started this blog to remember the details of being pregnant! i did it a little bit with jax, but i'd like to do a better job this time. its always interesting to go back and read.
We had our first appointment Jan 3 , 2011. My Dr. is Dr. Lunt, but i see Lisa Borunda (i think thats her name) a lot of the time. she is a nurse practitioner and i really like her! well i got a good old pap smear which was the highlight of my week, NOT! We tried to hear a heartbeat, but couldn't because i was only 9 weeks. So we did an ultrasound. We saw the baby's heartbeat! It was crazy, and at that moment i thought, ok maybe this is real... (although i'm STILL struggling with that concept) Andrew was there with me. It was so dang awesome to see that heartbeat. Well, the Lisa couldn't exactly read how far along i was , so she scheduled me two days later to come in and get a real ultrasound. she said i was measuring small, like 7 weeks instead of 9. I wasn 't too happy about that, dealing with the awesomeness of morning sickness.
So, a couple days later, i got the ultrasound. My uterus is SO tipped that they couldn't get a very good reading, so i had to do a vaginal scan. they stuck this little stick up my you know what, it was too bad though. we heard the heartbeat again and got a much clearer picture. i WAS 9 weeks, not 7, so that was fabulous to hear. Also, a pregnancy cyst was discovered on my ovary. but apparently, these are kind of normal, and they help give the baby nutrients. if i didn't hear that from the Dr herself, i wouldn't believe that. sounds like a big fat load of crap! its there though, because i am having super painful cramps here and there, and i think Mr. Cyst is to blame. The heartbeat was 165, which was normal. the old wives tale about the heart rate is not true at all. that was sad, because according to that theory, i'd be having a girl.
lets all be honest here. i want a girl. wouldn't you?
so that's about it. my next appt is in Feb, so i'll update then, or TRY.
so far, I'm:
-so tired
-so unmotivated
-so lazy
-antisocial
-so hungry like every dang hour! but mostly everything sounds good to eat, so that's nice! no real cravings yet, except maybe comfort food. i don't want things with strong flavors anymore, like hot wings or onions. not fun to imagine burping or barfing up.
-sweets aren't necessary for me like they used to be. i guess i'm craving more salty than sweet. (that means boy)
-morning sickness is there, but not half as bad as with jax. i've thrown up maybe a total of 7 times so far. i get sick throughout the day, but i don't throw up.
- my hair is shinier, skin is clearer, and i feel prettier. (weird)
signs lead to boy....we'll see!
