How many days?

I added a ticker to my page counting down the days til baby gets here... YIKES 229 more days? I don't know if I want to be looking at that number everyday until it gets a LOT lower! ha ha.

Anywho, I am feeling a little better. Some of the sickness has tapered off and that is helping a lot. It's still there, just not as bad...

For breakfast, I had peanut butter toast with a banana and Orange Mango juice. Yummy!
Lunch was Leftovers and strawberries! : ) Strawberries taste SOOOOOOOOOOOO good now!
I had blackberries last night and they were excellent! I have not eaten them in so long, I forgot how good they are!

I have been walking every day and stretching every evening. Today has been a clumsy day though, I have tripped over my own feet 4 times already. I'm either really tired, or really clumsy!

Overall, I am feeling pretty good though.

6w5d

All went well at the doctor today!!! The baby is measuring 6w5d, so my due date is 1/8/12!!! Holy cow that seems so far away! I saw the baby’s heartbeat, so all is well for now.


I go back in 4 weeks for a check up and then on June 27th for the Nuchal Translucency scan to check for down’s syndrome.

Here is the picture of the baby:

Hard to believe that little thing is making me feel so yucky!

Nervous...

Doctor’s appointment tomorrow and I am getting nervous. I really hope everything has progressed as planned and I get to see the baby’s heartbeat. I will feel some relief once I see that heartbeat! My appointment is at 11:30am, so if you get a chance and remember, please be thinking good vibes during that time!



Thank you and I will update tomorrow afternoon!

Happy Hump Day!

I am so glad it is Wednesday!! Only 2 more days until my doctor's appointment to see the baby's heartbeat! Continue praying all goes well and that I will get my estimated due date! : )

Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches have become my lunch time staple... BUT, today I added in Cheetos (not healthy, I know, but SO good) And, NO it is not a pregnancy craving... I actually love this any time, LOL!

I am still having the afternoon nauseau and tiredness, but I am making it through alright. I just feel blah...

"Morning" sickness

Not so much “morning”, but YES. I have been lucky so far and I have not actually thrown up, but whoa the nausea! I am usually fine in the morning, but right after lunch I start feeling very yucky… extremely tired, nauseous and a little dizzy.


It is really hard to eat healthy when you feel so sick… I don’t WANT to eat, period! This morning, however, I ate 2 pieces of peanut butter toast with banana slices. That actually kept me filled until lunch time, where I had 2 pb&j sandwiches… It is the only thing that sounds appetizing! Yikes!

I plan on getting my walks in at work this week- I slacked off last week, but need to get on track again. I have been stretching almost every day though.

Arielle was really sweet yesterday- I told her that Mommy wasn’t feeling good, so she kissed me, put her hands on her hips and said “ALL better now!” It was just too sweet.

Call from the nurse

Man, this was the fastest lab results I have ever received from a doctor! My nurse called me this morning to let me know that my lab results came back today.


I was expecting to hear that everything came back normal…which was not the case. My progesterone levels are low so they called me in a prescription to supplement my levels.

I guess I was just extremely blessed and lucky to have not had ANY complications during my first pregnancy, so this is new territory for me. I know everything will be fine, but I can’t help but worry still. This wasn’t a planned pregnancy by any means, but we are getting excited about it and I don’t want to be let down. It is in God’s hands now.

So, I will be picking up my prescription this evening and starting the supplement tonight.

Just yesterday, I started having food aversion and nausea. I notice that the nausea comes when I become hungry. I am also dizzy at times and of course very tired. So, I guess that is a good sign that I am having some symptoms…

I tell you one thing though, I could LIVE on pb&j sandwiches if I could right now!! Don’t worry, I’m not… I am getting fruits and veggies in there too. : )

Well, I go back to the doctor next Friday for another ultrasound and probably more blood work to check my levels again. Until then, I will keep stretching, walking, and eating healthy. I still can’t give up sweet tea though, although I have switched to decaf…

Changes are coming!

Ok, sorry for the absence this week....

There are some changes coming to my blog!!!

I got some surprising news last week and didn't want to say anything until I went to the doctor... I AM PREGNANT!!! If you work with me, please do NOT mention any of this to anyone else at work!!! I am not ready to tell work yet. THANK YOU!

I went to the doctor today and I am 5 weeks along. I thought I was 7 weeks, but my periods were a bit irregular, so my ovulation was a couple weeks off. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks and I should be able to see the heartbeat! Today, we were only able to see the sac. (that's what the black circle is)

So, the blog will be changing- It will become a "Healthy Pregnancy" blog instead of weight loss journey! My goal is to be very healthy with this pregnancy. I plan to eat good foods and do light exercises and lots of walking and stretching.

I only gained 22lbs with my pregnancy with Arielle and I don't want to gain much more with this one.

Well, I hope you will join me in this new journey! It looks like my due date will be at the very beginning of January, but I will find out in 2 weeks!
