12/23/09 :: day 48 (actually part of week 6)

This morning has been a rather hard one.  I brushed my teeth in the kitchen sink since (sorry honey) Derek was in use of our one and only tiny bathroom.  Everything was fine with my stomach until I went to rinse.  Should have used a cup, but I didn’t.  I put my mouth under the faucet to rinse, and I got a whiff of whatever didn’t get chopped up by the disposal last night.  Dry heave city baby!  You see I hate to throw-up.  I despise it.  I live in fear of it.  My fear of this nasty occurrence causes me to burst into tears if I get close to yakking.  No joke!  So, that’s exactly what I did.  I gagged and then burst into tears.  What a baby.

I got to work feeling decent.  I drank my wonderful and yummy grape juice and then snacked on a blueberry pop tart.  It’s official…no pop-tarts during this pregnancy.  That sugary blueberry concoction totally got my stomach on a mission of making me cry twice in one morning.  Luckily, I brought a bottle of water to work and taking a few swigs of it calmed my stomach down enough I was no longer in fear of re-visiting those pop tarts.  I am finding that I have no cravings for sweets, and all I ever want to eat is a nice warm filling meal. No specific cravings yet.  Well, except for pancakes Saturday night.

12/24/09 :: day 49 (week 7 begins)

It’s Christmas Eve!  Last night we went to Bosco’s to have our annual Christmukkah celebration.  Most of the gang was there.  Amy, Matt, Palf, Meredith (who lost weight & looks great), Jay, Derek and myself were all in attendance.  Of course, I stuck to water as my beverage of choice, and since he now has a locked in designated driver for the next 9 months; Derek got to kick back and have a few beers.  So why am I the one who feels hungover?  NOT FAIR!  I read that this is a common feeling among the preggers of the world, but I was praying that I would be one of the lucky ones.  I don’t do hangovers well when they are produced from alcohol, so why do I have to tolerate them when I drink nothing but water?  So in the tradition of hangovers I am drinkin’ me some Gatorade, eating crackers, and popped a Tylenol.

When I woke up this morning my entire body felt like I fell off a 3 story building flat onto a concrete pad. OUCH!!!  My body feels a bit better now, but I’m not 100% yet.  Come on Extra Strength Tylenol…kick in already.

12/27/09 :: day 52

Jeremy and Rachel Lewis invited us to Jeremy’s mom’s house last night for chili, but come to find out there was no chili.  Jeremy you don’t tease a pregnant woman; even if she is only 2 months in.  We broke the news to Jeremy and Rachel, and sweet sweet Rachel started to cry when she heard the news.  It’s so nice to know you have friends that love you that much, that they are truly happy to hear your news.  Even if it does kind of cancel out the ski trip to Whistler we had planned for next December.  Sorry guys.

Rachel said, “forget the ski trip!  There is a baby coming.  That’s so much better!”

12/28/09 :: day 53

This morning I woke with a little bit of discomfort in my belly.  There was a slight tightness in my uterus.  I told my boss this morning that I was pregnant.  It went well.  He seemed very happy for me. I went to the restroom around 10am this morning and discovered a moderate amount of brown blood.  I haven’t been having this at all.   Could it have been the teeny tiny bit of exercise I did yesterday?  When I say tiny I mean tiny.  I simply moved my feet side to side touching one toe to the other foot, and moving my arms in and out.  Probably for a total of 3 minutes.  I am going to check again around 11am to see if more is there.  Wondering if I should call the doctor.  I this payback?

11:00am – the brown stuff hasn’t shown back up yet.  Maybe my body just hates exercise and this was it’s way of saying NO WAY JOSE!

1:00pm – Derek told his co-workers and boss this morning and everyone received it well.  I just sent the g-parents an email giving the thumbs up on the release of the good news.  I still haven’t decided how I want to approach telling my co-workers and friends.  Should I just do an email blast, and then publish the news to Facebook?

Decisions, decisions.

12/30/09 :: day 55

Well, I called the doctor’s office yesterday and asked about the brown blood.  The nurse I spoke with, Tish…i think, confirmed my suspicions about it being old blood most likely from my TV ultrasound last week.  I was shocked to find out that it could take up to a week for the blood from that to make it’s way out, but then again…I ain’t no doctor.  And the world should thank me for that.

The nurse made me feel much better when she said she took a look at my ultrasound and said that everything looks perfect.  She stressed that. I think she said, “Your ultrasound is perfect”.  SCORE!  Finally I made a perfect score on a test.
