I HEAR YOU!!

So a big deal happened today!! Kyra and I came home from church early cause I wasn't feeling good so I thought I'd try to listen in to the baby (I've been trying a few times this week) and WE HEARD HER!! I recorded it and were very excited :) I posted the video below for the baby's heart beat :) I know its funny that I'm doing such a detailed blog but i just cant wait till the baby is grown and gets to see my thoughts and excitement every day !!

Kyra and I already love this baby so much!!

Ohhh YEAH .. and I forgot to mention. Yesterday We were garage saleing with my mom and we pulled up to this one house and the rocking chair I had talked about before, the one  in the dream I had 10 years ago, was there!! I knew it was it.. Some lady was looking at it and I Walked up and was like "I'm sorry this is SOLD" I didn't even care how much it cost me !! (it was only $30) I just knew that it was THE rocking chair!! 

Stretch **crack** ***sigh*** Ahhhhhhh

So I went the chiropractor this morning. WOW it felt really good, She did quite a few cool adjustments that were really cool. My coccyx feels MUCH better and my neck feels amazing!!
Then we went to lunch with mom (shocking really.. hahah were always having lunch together) Then we ran to DI,  I'm always canvasing the thrift store for Plus sized maternity clothes, its SO hard to find XXL maternity clothes so I'm constantly on the look out. Well as i was walking in I saw the clerk putting a HUGE rack full of maternity clothes in guess what size? XXL !! WOOO HOOO I was so excited!! I ended up getting 10 pairs of pants, some jeans and some work pants which makes me VERY happy cause I'm probably going to need to start wearing them in a few months or less :) So it was real good find !! I also bought some clearance maternity clothes from motherhood today :)

I have been researching Baby Wraps all day today I really like these mobi wraps I think I just may go buy material to have for this wrap. The cool part is you just buy 6 yards of fabric and watch youtube videos to see how to do the wraps and call it a day . I actually found an entire website dedicated to learning all the ties and wraps for the baby. theres even a way cool tie for a nursing baby :) Its way neat I cant WAIT!

Well tomorrow is a long day of garage sailing with mom in the morning so I gotta go to bed :) I'm sure Ill come home with loads of baby junk hahaha

8 week prego shot

 

OK so I didn't think I was growing THIS much but I really am!

I have 3 pictures here. The top one is today (8 weeks) Middle one is at (4 weeks) and bottom one is in Feb when I was doing HCG loosing my weight just in time for me to get fat LOL I cant believe Ive only gained 3 pounds since being pregnant! I look so much fatter!! maybe my fat is moving to feed the baby. Hey I'm creating my OWN HCG now LOL

 Notice the belly poking out past the chest. thats where you REALLY see the difference. Note my boobs are growing quite a bit too haha

ANOTHER Ultrasound!

So I called my doctor today he said to come in ad he'll check the little bean to make sure she's ok. I came in did another ultrasound and WOW in 5 days this baby is HUGE!!  (and just fine, with a good strong heart beat) Last week the baby was this little Ski jumper in a big black amniotic sac.. NOW she's almost the SAME SIZE.. that is some SERIOUS growth! you can see the Uterus is really growing too I can tell my abdomen is starting to stick out more, and its not just cause I'm FAT LOL
I need to take another picture to mark the growth in my belly Ill do that tomorrow! I'm just glad the baby is doing so well!!

My HEAD HURTS!

Wow so today was eventful again.
Today was my first week having Mondays off due to my internship hours being finished I am now just maintaining my clients at work on Wednesdays so I was off today with nothing to do! SO I decided to go get mulch for my yard from the dump. On the way to the dump I suddenly got a stabbing feeling in my head that HURT like a bugger! I had never felt pain like that before! My mom was with me so she said i would be fine but If I felt it again to let her know. On our way to the dump for our second truckload it happened AGAIN. It lasted about 45 seconds to a minute then a lingering headache afterward. I started getting very concerned. On the third round to the dump (I had to go alone with Kyra cause My moms patient had a problem at home and she had to tend to that. It started happening every  10-15 mins!! after the 10th round of this sharp pain I thought it might be wise to go to the hospital. SO Kyra and I went to the ER. the doctors and nurses  checked me out. After a few tests the Doctor said they were something called "cluster headaches" I had never heard of them before but WOW they are painful! He said the best way to treat it would be to flood me with oxygen for 2 hours and they should be gone for a while.  He did just that and sure enough no more...He also told me to take some Tylenol and drink a caffeinated soda if it happens again. I'm skeptical about ANYTHING I'm taking pregnant so I think im gonna wait till my Dr says its ok !!  He also said i needed to check with my OB to make sure the baby was OK  which is good for me I want to make sure the soda and such is REALLY ok  I will call my Dr. in the morning to see what he wants me to do , meanwhile I'm TIRED!! GOOD NIGHT!!

Bleck .. I'm sick!! **warning this blog discusses throw up!!**

ICKY ICKY !!  thought I wasn't gonna have any morning sickness.. I was SO WRONG!! I woke up at 5 and ICKY TIMES!! the worst part about throwing up is when it is SO violent and out of control that it comes out your NOSE!! GROSS!! I hate that!!
I haven't thrown up for a few hours so I hope I will be fine to drive home to Cedar city.
On the upside that silly Pillow worked and I slept better than before. Downside I'm Puking!!

Big weekend of traveling!

Well this is a nice big weekend for me! I graduated from Graduate school with my masters in Marriage and Family therapy up in Salt Lake. Aside from telling my classmates about the baby and doing that funny thing called graduation I also spent some time shopping for baby stuff! Fun times!
We went to the mall to Motherhood Maternity store. I know its early to buy maternity clothes at this point but with my figuring I will need maternity clothes the most in the fall and winter and they are CLEARANCING those clothes now so I'll get good deals on them for when I need them.. Well so I thought...  So I went to the store and got quite a bit, I got a belly belt to help support my back when my belly starts getting bigger, and some clothes not alot cause their winter stuff was mostly picked through and what was left was MEh... OK ... SO I just got a few shirts that screamed MY PERSONALITY.
I really needed to get some comfortable maternity/ nursing bras and they only carry them there :( my boobs are really starting to hurt and be sensitive. I Also needed to get some Medela products for my pump but they didn't carry them there (what a motherhood store WITH OUT them ?? I didn't know that was possible hahaha) I also have flat inverted nipples (like you wanted to know that) and I was looking for something more than nipple shields to help that, they didn't... OH well I got some of the stuff I needed at least! Oh yeah and I got a GIANT boppy pillow for pregnant woman and then when the baby is here you can use to nurse. Its not like a regular boppy its "supposed" to help with sleeping and since I'm sleeping on an HOURLY basis I thought I'll give it a whirl tonight!! Speaking of which this sleep pattern is KILLING me!! I sleep for a couple hours wake up at midnight , then 1 then 2 then if I'm lucky jump to 4 on and on and on .. HELP ..I cant stop the sleep deprivation!! HELP ? suggestions ?? well heres hoping that pillow helps!!
