28 Weeks...

...and some pregnancy stats:

 You don't have to read any of the following, this is just for the blog book I'm printing off and I wanna be able to look back and remember certain things about my first pregnacy, so I can compare to the rest of them.

*I didn't start feeling sick till about 7 weeks ( I only threw up about 10 times total but I was nauseated and fatigued 24/7. Oh, and horribly constipated. I know you all wanted to know that :)

*I didn't start feeling better until about 19 weeks. (I haven't taken any phenergan since 19 weeks, and I got most of my energy back)

*We had our very first ultrasound ever at 10 weeks

*We found out what we were having at 16 weeks

*I felt him "flutter" inside me for the very first time at 17 weeks

*I started "showing" at about 21 weeks (at least when people started noticing on their own)

*Buck felt him kick for the first time right at the end of 23 weeks, just before Christmas

*At my last appointment which was 25 weeks, I had only gained 6 lbs total. (I have my next appointment next week, I'm sure that's changed) but I also lost about 7 lbs in my first trimester

*My pelvis started widening at 27 weeks and can we chat about this for a minute? I know that the hips are supposed to spread and widen to prepare for baby's descent and blah blah blah, all those things people say to make you feel better about the widest part on your body widening, yet even more, but can I just ask why this has to happen, this early??? He's hopefully not coming for about 12 more weeks so what is the point of walking around with these thunderous things for an additional 8-10 weeks or so? Why can't the widening take place at like, 36 weeks so I only have to pack them around for 4 weeks instead of 13?  I for sure did not need any more help in the hip department, I've been to put it as my supportive peers say, curvy, my whole life! Since puberty anyway, my hips already grabbed almost every corner I tried to walk around...yes that also may have something to do with my poor sense of depth perception but still, I was always banging my hips into things because of how wide they are. And now they're even wider. And we wont even mention trying to sleep on this new spread eagle pelvis of mine. Or lack thereof. All you mom's out there I know you're thinking, ah suck it up, it's part of all the joys of pregnancy. True, very true, but I just don't think it should happen till 36-ish weeks, is all. :) Okay moving on

*Most all foods made me sick in the beginning but water was probably by far the worst. I don't know what it was but I avoided water like the plague. (Which was a big part of the constipation problem)

*I got horribly constipated around week 12, and it got so bad that I went around 2 weeks at a time in between bowel movements. Poor Buck, bless his heart, saw me through it by going as far as giving me fleets enemas because I hurt so bad. I did glycerin suppositories, metamucil, milk of magnesia, the works, all which yeilded very little results. I finally quit taking zofran because that's part of what was plugging me up my doctor said, (along with not drinking water like I should've) and being nauseated to the point I couldn't eat anything was the lesser of being consitpated. I was miserable. Some nights I couldn't sleep because of the pain and pressure so I'd just get up and walk and pace my house for hours. That lasted till about 16 weeks.

*I was on a huge Lucky Charms cereal kick for ever. As I was coming out of my sick weeks all I would eat was Lucky Charms, for each meal of the day.

* Once I started being able to eat again around week 19 I started craving pickes, green leafy lettuce, Trix cereal (I was done with Lucky Charms) and now my newest craving is...water. Ha who'da thought? I just wanna drink it all the time, even when my stomach is totally full to the point of hurting, I just want more water. And it's nice because I am going to the bathroom more often. Go figure.

*My balance is terrible. I've fallen 4 times: down my front porch cement stairs, in my kitchen onto the open door of my dishwasher, slipped flat on my back on a sheet of ice, and fell off a little 3 step ladder trying to do things I shouldn't in my nursery.

*I forget everything. I put things in the weirdest places, I forget to tell Buck very important things, I'll totally think I did something, when I didn't, I can't even talk normal, forgetting the words I wanna say.

*I thought I would be an emotional pregnant person, but I've actually been kinda opposite. Instead I notice that I get irritated and aggitated way easier than I ever used to.  It seriously takes nothing to set me off, and I know when I'm being unreasonable, but I just can't help it. Just even little things, like if I drop something, I get so angry so easy. I spill some juice on me and you'd think someone poured battery acid on me the way I react to it.

*We do not have a name picked out yet. We don't even have one we kinda agree on. Buck likes a ton of names but I just can't seem to like any, I don't know what my deal is

Other than that things are going well. He's growing strong, Dr says I'm doing good, everything is fine. Right now we're working on his nursery so we can hurry up and wait for him to get here :)
