Ick...

is how I feel ALL THE TIME! I'm 8 weeks today and the nausea is just getting worse. I've tried ginger snaps, peppermint lifesavers, ginger ale, & saltines and nothing seems to be taking the nausea away. I actually found that chicken noodle soup is the only food that doesn't turn on me. I made an awful mistake of eating a garlic pretzel today & lets just say I can still taste it hours & hours later. :( My skin is also breaking out and looks horrible! One more month till my sonogram & I can't wait! Pregnancy is turning me into a beast, but it's all so worth it. :)

Doctors Appointment

I went to the doctor today and got a new due date, which is May 4th, 2010. I'm 6 weeks & 3 days :) I had blood work done and now my next appointment is October 23rd for my first sonogram! I am so excited to see my baby and it feels like 6 weeks is forever to wait! I'm so thankful to God that everything is good so far.

Symptoms

The only symptoms I've been having are really sore boobs, cramps, and being nauseated. At first I was scared about the cramps but I hear that it's normal to have slight cramps in the first tri-mester. The cramps mostly happen at night and are better in the morning after I've rested. I also notice I have more gas! Being nauseous has just set in the past two days. It's not too bad and doesn't last very long. Also, I have been having a hard time getting comfortable at night and sleeping (probably because i'm too excited, but even when I try not to think about it, I still can't sleep well!) According to my last menstrual period, i'm 4 weeks and 5 days today :) Only 8 more days until my doctors appointment! I am so excited to have my first prenatal appointment! I thank God for this blessing everyday :)
