{June 28th} 10 weeks and 3 days

So...I am a totally different person.  This baby has taken over my body and I have NO CONTROL!  I have been taking my anti-nausea pill now for about 3 weeks.  It is a life saver however, I still get sick.  The upside is I no longer get sick often enough to carry trash bags in my vehicle "just in case".  I am getting VERY anxious to find out the sex!  So is Shane! Shane met a lady at a hotel desk that was pregnant and said that the Chinese Lunar Calendar worked for her and 4 other family members!  They were 5 for 5! So, Of course we plugged our info into the chart and it predicts we will have a little princess on our hands! I feel like it will be a little cupcake as well so, maybe it's right? we will find out in August! I am very into nursery themes at the moment!  For a girl I am completely inspired by Miranda Lambert's tour bus designed by the very Texan, Junk Gypsies!  Love the richness in fabrics and rustic Texan touches!  What better way to decorate my girl's room than after my favorite star!  For a boy I am really liking owls or....a cool album cover musician theme.  Not sure yet though!

June 7th: 7 Weeks

So LOTS OF CHANGES in week 6.  Changes I will never forget!  Almost exactly on the first day of my 6th week, I started getting sick!  Not in the morning.  Not at Lunch. Not at Night. But, ALL DAY LONG!  It has been extremely hard to just get to work.  when I do have a good couple of minutes, I cannot even believe it!  I am overjoyed with happiness.  Yesterday I went for my 1st prenatal and it was great.  Mainly because I received a safe prescription for nausea.  I popped 2 pills at night with dinner and WOW...I could actually sleep last night.  Hopefully all the sickness means the baby is growing and growing!  So, my blood work looks fine except that my immunity to Rubella is low.  Another downside about the sickness is that I eat like CRAZY.  I am not a snacker or a junk food eater but, yesterday for example, I couldn't stop throwing up so I bought a fibre 1 bar & a roll of Starburst and started eating...Still sick, so I stopped and got a root beer.  had to go to my apt.  Then, right when I was done got so sick.  Threw up in the clinic bathroom and headed right next door to 711 and a hot dog sounded good!  GROSS!!!!! I hope this ends.  I have gained about 6 lbs. and feel it's a little much! I am sure the baby got NO nutrients yesterday.  so it is 9:00 this morning and I am not needing to throw up but, I don't feel great! I hope this pill works!
