I woke up feeling great this morning.. no nausea, no headaches, no dizziness.
My son and hubby took a nap and I decided to do the same. I figured I need to get as much rest as possible, right?
I woke up from my nap around 2:20pm and felt nauseous. Ughhh! This is so frustrating! I don't get why it's off and on, but I guess it's better like this as opposed to being nauseous all day every day.
I thought I may need to eat something, so I attempted to eat a saltine and drink some flat leftover Coke. It didn't help at all and just made it worse.
So.. here I sit. Nauseous and very thirsty but I don't know what I could possibly drink that wouldn't make me want to puke.
I know in the end, all of the nausea will be worth it, but I am ready for the first trimester to be over!

Yuck.
That's how I'm feeling today. I think I just got off on the wrong foot. Daylight savings was Saturday night and since then, my son has been sleeping late like a champ! It's been so great, but today we slept so late, I woke up with a horrible caffeine headache.
I drank a little bit and took a Tylenol to help. I'm feeling much better but my slight nausea is back today, so I didn't eat breakfast. Because of that, I have become even more light headed than usual. If it's not one thing, it's another.
Oh and I almost forgot..the round ligament paing has started! If I stand up too fast or sneeze, I feel the tugging. It's so amazing how quickly these things happen!
I think I may have pushed myself too hard yesterday and I'm feeling bad as a result. I came home from church, switched it over to the Duke/Carolina game (which I NEVER watch) and started cleaning while my son napped and my hubby was at work. It was so nice to clean without interruption, but I think I did too much. I really should be doing laundry now, but I'm just not feelin' it. I guess that's what tomorrow is for!
Tonight, I'm going over to a friend's house to watch the finale of "The Bachelor." I am SOOO excited and hope that Emily wins! I am going to go pick up some chocolate chip cookies for our get-together. There is nothing yummier than warm, soft cookies. I can't wait.
I hope everyone is having a great Monday!

All family announcements.. done!
Last night, my hubby and I went over for dinner at his dad and stepmom's. His grandma and step-sister were there too, so it was the perfect opportunity to let the cat out of the bag.
When we got there, I didn't take my trench coat off for awhile because I was reallllly cold. Finally the hubs told me I should take it off because it looked suspicious.
So, I did and all seemed normal. I was definitely sucking in hard though because I had on a tight shirt and I didn't want to appear to have even a tiny bump.
The hubs stepmom left for about 45 minutes and came back just in time for dinner. I was dying at this point because I was ready to let everyone know!
We were all sitting around the table, discussing my husband's very artistic brother and some artwork that his step-sister wanted done.
Finally, the hubs said, "Well, we'll have to get Uncle A to do some artwork for the new nursery."
Everyone's eyes started darting around and the hubs grandma let out a huge, "huh?!"
He announced, "We're pregnant!"
Of course everyone was so excited and immediately wanted to know how far along I was and when I was due.
His grandma said, "I KNEW it when you said you had been cold all day!" (For the record, I think this is so funny because I would have never thought that being cold was a giveaway for being pregnant :)
The hubs dad said, "Well I knew something was up when ya'll wanted to get together tonight."
His grandma and step mom said, "We knew it wouldn't be long. In fact, we had discussed that after the last time we saw ya'll!"
I got a big bear hug from my father-in-law before we left and I knew that everyone was excited, but he seemed SUPER excited.
Of course, everyone thinks it's a girl. And I do mean everyone.
I feel a lot of relief now that all immediate family know. Now I'm just waiting to announce to friends!
My nausea has been so much better today, thank goodness. I had to keep the infant/crawlers today at church and I got to hold a 3 month old baby girl! She was SO cute.
Friday and Saturday were tough as far as nausea. Saturday, we spent much of the day running errands and I guess all of the going didn't help.
I'm actually eating some leftover Taco soup that I had frozen and it's sooo good. I know it's going to give me terrible heartburn (by the way, that started last night.)
We are so excited now that all of our close family knows. I'm hoping I can hold out until 10 weeks to announce to friends/facebook/regular blog!

Whoops!
I didn't mean to leave my blog unattended since Monday! I really wanted to blog everyday, but that hasn't happened :(
We went ahead and told my husband's mom and stepdad on Tuesday night. It was his step-dad's birthday and in the card, we wrote,
"Happy Birthday from A,J,H,M and embryo C." For the record, the "M" is our dog.. we do not have two kids already.
I think it definitely took everyone by surprise and there were multiple gasps and looks of confusion.
Of course, I took pics, but those will have to come later.
I traveled back to my hometown yesterday to visit my orthodontist from 10 years ago. I lost my top retainer and thus my top teeth have been shifting around. I know it's unnoticable to the naked eye, but it bothers the crap out of me. I hate the way my teeth feel!
Last night, we went over to my "Nanny's" house for grilled cheese and french fries. I decided to go ahead and tell her as well. The news was well-received and we devoured our dinner.
We left almost immediately after dinner because the greasy smells were not agreeing with me.
The bad news is that dinner came back to see me later on :( I truly don't know if it was pregnancy-related or "too-much-grease" related because my mom got sick as well.
I came home today and have really been feeling nauseous. For lunch, the only thing I felt I could eat was McDonald's cheeseburgers. I savored every bite and grossed my husband out in the process. He asked me not to enjoy it so much because he really hates McDonald's...hahah.
I'm sitting here contemplating what to eat for dinner. I may have to eat Ramen Noodles again because they don't completely turn me off.
I'll be six weeks tomorrow! So excited :)

Make room for baby!
The hubby and I purchased this sweet ride today to prepare for our growing family!
We are so, so, SO happy it all worked out!
We've had a super busy day today. My son has been waking up earlier and earlier. Today, he was up at 5:30am. I laid in bed for awhile longer, hoping he would quiet down, but he didn't. I went ahead and got up and fed him breakfast.
My husband was running late and didn't get in from work until almost 7:00am. He only slept about an hour and a half and then had to get up so we could go to the bank and the dealership to finalize all of our paperwork. After all of that, we had to drive to Myrtle Beach to pick up our two chihuahuas that we were hoping would be adopted by this older couple. It ended up not working out, so they are back.
I am SO exhausted after today!
On that note, goodnight!

I know I'm crazy
Yes, this is the 3rd post today, but it's 11:46pm, I'm wide awake and my mind is going a hundred miles per hour.
I've only had a little bit of time to digest the fact that I am indeed pregnant. It still seems very surreal. The one thing that I do know is that there are a few things I'd like to do differently this time and a few new items that I would really like to have.
One of the new items is a nice diaper bag. With my son, my parents bought us a super-nice Eddie Bauer diaper bag that my husband fell in love with. It looks rugged and appropriate for a little boy. It's also on the bigger side.
My husband ended up using it more than I did and I actually bought a cute Target purse as my diaper bag.
That didn't work out for me at all. The straps broke and bottles leaked in it all the time.
This time, I really would love a nice, stylish diaper bag and I believe I have found it.
It is the OiOi Stone Washed Out and About Diaper Bag.
I love that it looks like a handbag, so if I wanted to, I could just throw my wallet in there and go. I will have my hands FULL, so anything to make the load a little easier would be welcomed :)
I also love that this is a neutral color and would look good with black, brown, white, etc. I tend to be a neutral gal, so it would fit in with pretty much everything I own.
That is all for the random thoughts tonight, I promise!

Cravings?
I woke up this morning and wanted pancakes. I tried to make them and completely ruined the batter. I don't know what I did wrong. I just let it go and ate a banana, I think...
Anyway, it's 9:20pm (I'm getting ready for the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County) and I want pancakes again!
My appetite has been hit and miss lately, so when I want something, I WANT it. I would seriously go out in the kitchen and try again, but I think I would wake up my son.
That's all....
Goodnight!
