Everyone at work has been really wonderful and constantly checking in on me.  Everyone seems so excited, well except one.  She just walked by me and gave me an eat sh!t and die look.  Whatever.

I feel like I am hungover…minus the headache, and nausea.  However, I do still have a headache , just not the hangover kind.  Ouch!

Tonight we are supposed to have dinner at maccaronni grill w/ everyone (2 other preggers), but I still need to shower, decide what to wear, and stay awake long enough to not fall asleep and end up face 1st in my dinner.  We’ll see if I make it past 10pm.  I’m betting 9:30pm before I tap out.

Happy New Year!  This morning @ 12:30am I decided to ring in the new year by barfing in the kitchen sink.  My 1st pregnancy barf…yea!!!!!  We got home around 12:20am and the overwhelming smell of our newly refinished floors made my stomach want to jump out of my throat.  What a way to ring in the new year.

1/4/10 :: day 60

Wow!  I’m enjoying some lovely cramping today.  Trying to drink plenty of water.  The doc said that sometimes the cramps are just due to dehydration.  Let’s pray this works, cuz I need to focus today.  Now that I think about it.  The blasted cramps may have something to do with the big bowl of fiber cereal I ate just before going to bed last night.  I told Derek I wanted grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, and green beans, but instead he offered cereal…and I accepted.  That’s what you get for not listening to your cravings.  PAIN!  Good news is that since we cleaned the wood floors with water & vinegar I can stand to be in other rooms of my house besides my bedroom.  I can’t hang out in the living room for more than an hour though.  The smell eventually builds up and banishes me to my bedroom.

12:19am - my stomach still hurts.  I did a little research on the web and it appears to just be growing pains, but I would still like it to go away.  This makes it really hard to concentrate at work, and I am testing an upgrade on our system today.  I need to be focused.  Please, please…go away!

1/5/10 :: day 61

I’m in super high spirits today minus the sore throat I have developed.  I just heard back from our wedding photographer, Lindsey Lissau, about having her pencil us in for some baby pics once this little guy or gal pops out.  I told Derek yesterday that after looking at pictures of a sweet little girl named Alanna that I was kinda Jonesin’ for a little girl.  I’m sure his heart dropped a bit.  Not that he doesn’t want a girl, it’s just that we both have always been so Pro-Boy.

Yesterday, I officially hit the 2 month mark of my pregnancy.  How cool is that?  Only 220 more days to go.  Derek laughs at me when I share these stats with him. He tells me that my iPhone apps tell me way too much information.  Well, duh!  How in the heck do you think we wond up in the situation we are in today.  Dude, must I remind you of a little post I wrote about this whole debacle?

My sore throat has officially become a head cold. Yippee!  Sometimes I feel like the baby in this situation.  When you are pregnant for the 1st time…everything is a brand new experience.  So for situations that you normally wouldn’t go see or call you doctor for; you find yourself doing just that.  Wow.  Tomorrow I am call my doctor to see what to take for a head cold.
