I was beyond excited even though december was still 6 months away! Fast forward to September... In september I went off "the pill" to prepare my body.. Im so glad that I did too it took around three months for my body to adjust to being off the pill... Anticipation was building for me. We chose to start trying in december because I really want ryan to be able to spend as much time with the baby as possible. So I wanted to aim for the off season some time. So I figured we might as well try in december if it happens then it happens if not we have three more months to try!
Any one who knows me knows that I am a huge diet coke fan! I don't drink coffee when I wake up I drink diet coke! So in October I weened by diet coke habbit and started to drink tea instead... I found the tiniest diet cokes I could find for my two days that I work... They hardly have any caffine but mostly i drank them because I feel like I need something to drink on my way to work. Middle of November I quit drinking my black tea everyday... just when I felt like it.. soon enough i wasn't drinking it at all! In december i went to my neurologist and weened off ALL migraine medications. I normally got about one a week so I was a little worried about going off my meds! I took one called topamax which is to prevent migraines from occuring. Well Topamax also keep me skinny... I don't know why or how but it did. Once I went off I immedietly gained five pounds! Im used to weighing around 110 and now im at 113 to 114! OMG! But guess what? I was feeling better off my medications. Plus I couldn't be on them having a baby so it was worth it! Its amazing to me how much you can give up for something you love so much but isnt even created yet. I just cant wait to look my sweet baby in its eyes.
December FINALLY came... I felt like it was the longest 6 months of my life! Ryan and I definatly decided that december would be a great time to start trying. Most of our friends knew we were trying. So i calculated everything out.. did lots of research to when you are fertile and ovulation, etc. Ryan and I did the every other day method for about two weeks. It seemed to work great for us! I wont go into how we found out, etc because I already wrote on that.
I found out I was pregnant around 3 1/2 weeks.. which is unusual most women wait till they have a missed period but not me! I was so anxious to take a test! When I found out I was pregnant I didn't feel any different! Just thrilled!
Week number four... baby is the size of a orange seed. I still wasnt feeling much different... NO period so that was a good thing. I was having some cramping and bloating and going bathroom about three times a night! What the heck.. I never wake up in middle of the night to go to the bathroom! Luckily I am able to fall right back to sleep! Except for when I would wake up in middle of the night with AWFUL cramps! I remember waking up and just praying that I was not having a miscariage. It was scary! Other symptoms I had was that I was ALWAYS hungry! I couldnt get enough food... AND i was already craving things.. nothing inparticlar mainly just chipolte, quesadillas, and quiznoes. Well i was eating quesadillas for breakfast on occasion!
Week five... baby is the size of a sweat pea! I was starting to feel uncomforable in my jeans... due to my pre pregnancy weight gain. I could feel my skin starting to strech! Another thing growing.. my BOOBS! holy moly I swear my fake boobies just doubled in size! Not only are they huge but SO painful to touch! and of corse since they are growing to the size of cantilopes my husband cant keep his hands OFF of them! Ryan loved the growth of my boobs! I however did not! I was still getting up three times in middle of the night to pee and still having a lot of cramping. Craving lots of random things... mostly fast food chains like taco bell, jamba juice and chipolte still. I also had my first "morning sickness" which does occur in the morning for me! I have to get up and eat breakfast right away or else I get VERY nauseated! I used to never ever eat breakfast and now i have to! i never threw up just always nauseated. I would hit me in the morning and at night when I was hungry! Good thing i have such a great husband so when i would get nautious he would cook for me! SO BLESSED!
Week six... SO crazy... baby is a blueberry! during my sixth week not a lot changed.. still having all the same symptoms minus the cramps! I had my first migraine which was awful... but i made it through! not a lot of changing this week. first doctors appointment and got to see my little peanut and hear the heart beat... 150 beats a minute. Nothing melts your heart like that noise. You cant describe the love and joy that fills your heart until you experience it. It was finally real to me. Although i cant feel my precious baby, it was real. Smiles all day long.
Week seven... baby is a raspberry. lets see... my boobs are still gigantic and sore. still going to the bathroom in middle of the night (not as frequently) and not as nauseated anymore! I think my stomach is growing at night and then I wake up and no more cute little belly! not a lot of changes still. No more cravings... oh i take that back.. i craved my beloved del taco finally! new symptom... Heart palpitations. I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest! It mostly happens at night when i am laying on the couch relaxing. thanks to trusty google it seems as if they are normal due to my heart working over time to build a baby! Ryan keeps asking me when we can find out what the baby is... I think he is getting more excited as the time goes by!
Week eight... baby is a green olive. the nausea is under control now... I know how to manage it to keep it minimal. My boobs seem to have shrunk? WTF just when i get used to looking like a porn star (okay a chubby porn star) and my husband all googley eyed over them, they shrink! In all honestly i don't mind... im not being groped twenty four seven anymore plus they don't hurt as bas as they used to. I think i go to the bathroom about once a night! no more bloating or cramps... i do feel a little pulling every once in a while. I assume its just my uterus growing! I vomited randomly this morning which hasn't happened before. no other symptoms. We filled in the grandparents this week. Our whole family and close friends know now. No new cravings. i don't crave one thing i just think of a place i want to go and i have to have it! like chick fil a! yummy! So two months along and loving life. I don't think i've ever been so happy before in my entire life. I cant wait till my next ultra sound so i can hear the heart beat and see my little peanut. This experience is just so incredible. im still on cloud 9.
