That was nifty...it says I'm spoiled....hmmmmphhhh

it's 2:41 am

Hey look it's the middle of the night...on a "work night" and yours truly is awake.....oh but why am I awake you ask?



Beacuse I can't stop barfing.


Oh make it stop......I hurt so bad.....................I have six more weeks of this shit too.....that's *if* my "morning sickness" ends after the first trimester.....my sister had "morning sickness" until two weeks before she gave birth....I HOPE that is not something that "runs in the family"......I'll litterally die.

well....I feel more brewing.........off I go to sit and wait for this latest express of my stomach contents......

spinach looks pretty nasty on the way out................

words

I am so thankful to Danielle...she is "diva in training" over there on my ever outdated blogroll....
anyway...she is sending me all of her maternity clothes!!! How neat-o is that?
I should receive my packages from her on Friday! Yay...I'm excited :)

Today was a good day.....no sickness what so ever today....that was nice....for a change...hahahha....just as I typed that....what do you know....hahhaha.....how odd!

Oh goodness....it was really an uneventful day....oh yeah...besides the fact that after work today I got my very first ever pedicure done....hello....why didn't anyone ever tell me how heavenly those are???? I'm in love....I am now going to be getting one of those bad boys monthly! I've been deprived all these years....oh man....who would have thunk...........
now I have some pretty pink polish on my toesy woesies....so nice :)

oh yeah baby!

today I am 6weeks and 1day pregnant....it's still so early...and I'm still so fat that no one will even notice I'm pregnant until probably the day I come home with a baby...and someone will say....is s/he yours?
oh the joys of continously looking 10 months pregnant for your adult life! hahahaha....

so yeah....I really am a boring person...and I have nothing neat to say today....I want to buy something....something fun...something neat...something just for me~.....hmmm....what ever shall I purchase for myself....I already have all the purses I want right now....thanks to the Coach store being in the next town over....I have all the perfume I want...thanks to a lovely trip to Paris in November where I went to the million perfume shops they have there and picked up some of the best smelling ones around....which in my personaly opinion...happen to be...Chanel Chance....and Gucci's Envy Me.....oh yeah...I loveeeee those two...I also wear a perfume by Lacoste called Pink....everytime I wear it I feel like I'm in Paris all over again...since it was the perfume I wore while there.....the brand Lacoste is all the rage over there...it's madness!
Anywhoozle....me and my pretty little pink toes are outty!

flippin tired

I can barely keep my eyes open anymore!
It's freaking madness.
I'm tired 25 hours a day I tell you.

I'm also rather weepy lately...over the past couple of days I've noticed the weepiness come on pretty strong....I mean two nights ago my Husband simply said "dear, I'm going to go up to bed I'm tired" and I started to cry when he left because he left me....
oy.
Also we were watching my nephew last weekend for two days, on night one he was doing what 7 year olds do best at bedtime.....stalling....
He wanted a glass of water...he wanted a light on...he wanted this and that....I finally told him goodnight after his story was done and off I went to the living room....
what do I know but not 3 minutes who comes galivanting down the stairs...but mr. nephew himself.....he "needed" something......hubby put a stop to it...telling him he needs to go to bed and stop stalling....nephew burts into tears...litterally....
and the next thing *I* do is burst into tears right along with him......oh it was lovely....hahahaha....my husband told both of us to go upstairs! hahahahha looking back it was funny....but at the time I was devastated he was crying...
My morning all day sickness has gotten a bit more managable the past three days...only had a couple bouts with it today...and they were very short indeed....so that is good.....except it gets me worrying of course.....that there is something wrong.....and I do the obligitory breast tenderness check to make sure I'm still knocked up.....

oh the joys.......

Have I mentioned I'm tired?!?!?!?!

A bit better

I'm feeling a bit better today, when I took my temp it was no longer 100+ this morning...so that's good!
I'm up and the dog is outside doing his thang I'm sitting on the couch waiting for him to be done!
Usually I'd be eating breakfast at this time...but seeing as how we have no milk, no cereal....no nothing since I haven't felt well enough in a while to go grocery shopping....well.....we have nothing to actually eat for breakfast at the moment....lovely...I suppose I'll have to eat one of the bananas hanging on the banana rack....even if they have the beginings of little brown spots on them..blech...I can't stand nanners when they have little brown spots on them.....oh well....I need to go grocery shopping like nobody's business!!!
OK well I'm off to go get ready for work..............

sick

I stayed home from work today because I had the worst night last night.
I started feeling sick I guess around 1:30am...I think that time becuase that is the time I was awakened by awful stomach pains...I felt really sick, like I was going to toss my cookies at any second! I laid in bed moaning and groaning for a while...which did nothing. Then I decided to sit up to see if that would help. sure didn't! So I got up...went downstairs to the living room area and tried to read, but that did nothing either...I was in some stomacb agony by that time...it was probably 3am by this time...and I had gone to the bathroom so I could be close to the toilet since I felt like I was going to barf...but it didn't want to happen.
Finally around 4 I decided to go back to bed, only I situated the two pillows so that I wasn't laying down...I was in a more upright position! Tada...I was *finally* able to go to sleep.....then what do you know...my Husbands alarm goes off for work at 4:50.....nice.

He takes a whopping 15 minutes *tops* to get ready...so he was out the door in a flash...I resumed my upright sleeping position and felt if coming on......oh boy did I ever...............what do you think happened next..........

howdy

Today was such a beautiful day outside! Finally some sunshine in California...we've had a couple days of sun....after almost an entire month of nothing but rain every single day!!! The sun....at first I was like...what is that thing....hee hee.....it had been so long since we had seen it!

Have I mentioned I have been getting "all day" sickness....No barfing thus far though...let's hope it stays that way!!!

We're having a 'take out' night for dinner tonight...I do beleive that my Husband is ordering us some Chinese.....yummy. I do NOT feel like cooking tonight....that much I know!

Today is the day in my first pregnancy that I started to bleed.....it's a momentious day for me....no blood in sight...and plenty of "all day" sickness here! I'm not worried about miscarriage at the moment....not with these sore bb's and all the nausea!

Goodness gracious....I suppose I can start writing in my pregnancy journal that I picked up a few weeks back while browsing in a baby store....at that time I was merely drooling over things....dreaming of the day....now I can actually write in the book I had bought to journal a pregnancy in...becuase dammit...I'm pregnant again :) I can't wait for December, this is going to be a great Christmas, hopefully if the baby isn't late....we'll have a baby by Christmas! Here's to hoping!

still pregnant!

I'm feeling pretty well today...It's a better feeling than the previous few days where my bb's were hurting beyond motherfreaking belief! I'm not complaining though....I've wanted this for quite some time!

I've had a consistant temp at 98.2 for four days in a row now, I'm taking that as a good sign that things are right where they need to be.

I'm scheduled for my first prenatal visit on May 9th, I will be getting an ultrasound that day as well! We're excited about that, and I'm happy that I was able to make the appointment at a time that my Husband is able to go with me. Fun times.

It's only 5 something in the morning right now....I got up to let the dog out to go pee since he was whimpering....I'm going to go back up to bed for my last hour of sleep before I have to get up and get ready to head off to work for the day....at least I don't have to work over time today.....that's a plus.....

Toodles.
