18 weeks

I am now 18 weeks. I had my 2nd doctors apt. today. The baby kept dancin around so she couldnt count the hartbeat as easily. We have a very active baby!!! And to top it off i think i felt it move for the first time tonight!!! my pants had tight elastic and my computer was pushed up against my belly and i felt something!!! Our ultrasound is april 2nd!!!

my little baby bump

Im 15 weeks now. My belly doesnt stick out as much as my butt yet.(that will look interesting) Im still getting sick. Man, my belly kinda looks pointy hu? Oh well. This is first of probably man pics. Enjoy

Ok, so Amanda and Chelle both tagged me. Since i dont know that many people's blog name and Im still new at this so im just gonna do this because everyone complains that i dont have recent blogs. So here is my middle name explaining myself.

R- Responsible. Some people would laugh, but the older i get, it seems the more responsible i try to be. Since i've been with my husband, i have taken more responsibility in our finances, and other aspects of our lives.

E- Eager to be a Mother. It is scary, but i am very eager to have my own child to care for. I have always babysat, and watched my family's kids. Im ready!

N- Hausiated! Ever since around my 9th week of being pregnant i have been nauseated 24/7. I am now 14 weeks and just now starting to feel better!

E- Eccentric. Anyone who knows me well, knows i am not the most normal person. But i enjoy making my family laugh, even if its at me. One thing im proud of is that i have never hidden my thoughts because i was affraid to be laughed at.

E- Excited. I am so excited to be all grown up now. I feel so much closer to my family now that i am "at the grown ups table" I am married, pregnant and going through it all with the love of my life. Its all very exciting to me!

Ok, with all those e's it wasnt easy. My next doctors apt. is March 11th. I'll keep you updated!

heartbeat!

Today was our first doctors appointment! As soon as she put the device on my belly you could hear the heartbeat going so fast! It was so awsome, and makes this baby so real now. I mean i have been sick this whole time and my belly is getting harder, but it just didnt change anything untill today. I lost 8 pounds since my last appointment, but they didnt seem to care too much which is good. Im still getting sick, but i have more good days then bad now.

Not so bad

Ok, what was so frustrating last week is so cute right now! Richie took all of the chicken out of the house so i dont have to even look at it since it makes me sick. We went to get applebee's to go and on the way home i started dry heaving from the smell. So he put the heat on full blast twords me and rolled down his window to get the smell out for me....He's bein so sweet! He's working so much lately though, i dont really get to see him much. But i love my man!

Oh yeah, an update on baby lucas.... She/He doesnt like romen noodles or yogurt! I started loosing my food (to put it nicely) after i eat it unfortunately. I am 10 weeks now. I cant believe i am almost out of my 1st trimester!

Sorry to keep you waiting between posts.

Frustrating Husband!

Alright, laugh all you want, but this isnt as funny as it sounds. Sunday I got back from scrapbooking camp. I was home for 2 HOURS! thats it. That is the time frame of all this i am about to tell you........I walk in the door and richie askes "what have you eaten today?" I said a fruit and yogurt parfet from McDonalds. richie says "McDonalds!!! We need to get you on a better eating schedule! So i tell him to calm down i just need to take a shower i havent in two days since i was scrapbooking. "TWO days! what did the doctor say about hygine!?" richie said. I told him she told me to watch my dental hygine! I BRUSHED MY TEETH! he said " man, my kids gonna come out with two fingers!" (yes i know that every day you dont take a shower you baby looses a finger!) So i then asked him to just get my scrapbook stuff out of the pickup while i shower. he says "i just worked a 48 hour shift, cant i just relax" so i said fine i get it. NO you cant, its too heavy! he said. OK......It has to come in though....."fine, you know christel, the whole world doesnt have to stop becuase you dont feel good!" Well, then my mom called and told me my uncle Rudy passed away. When i got off the phone i told richie about it. He asked me "Are you ok? you know that you should be pretty emotional right now....my book told me so." I said no im fine so he told me "dont hold it in! its not good for the baby, you can cry in front of me!"

So by this time i was tearing my hair out and trying to get to chelles house as fast as i could. When i got home two days later i got in the pickup and told richie that i had a headache.....well he told me that thats a symptom of pregnancy, went into detail explaining why i get headaches, and went into detail about other symptoms that i should be having that he read about in his stupid "dads what to expect" book or something like that.

Sounds funny, but i get a call every day asking me what i have eaten and how much sleep i am getting! Starting to get annoying...but man i love him.

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Baby update...I just had my first appointment at the doctors office. It was just a nurses apt. so she took my information, and i was able to ask her questions. I am 8 weeks along now and I am sick as a dog! My nausea has me hating food, not wanting to eat. And my hormones have me thinking that i need to quite working! Obviously im not doing either, but thats whats going on with me. Hopefully it gets better. I'll keep you updated!
