Official 2nd trimester!

Baby is the size of the lemon. Last week it was making faces and now its liver and kidney functions are working. There is also fine hair growing on the body for warmth! One more month until I know the sex!

I counted it being second trimester last week, but some things say 14 weeks. Whatevs. It's still not completely real sometimes. It's still scary. I'll be aiight.

In other news, still no job. I really gotta find one before I start showing. Or when I get the job I'll have to tell them. Shit sucks! I hope something comes about soon. In the mean time, I'm waiting for my package from shady grove to see how I can volunteer there.

Zzzzzzzz

Man, if I thought I had the itis before, now I have elphantitis of the itis! I will eat dinner and my eyes just become so heavy. It's quite the phenomenon. It's almost as if I'm on a drug and it hits, it's very strange.

In other news, I can't believe that Thursday I will be 4 months pregnant. That is INSANE to me! It's still not real sometimes. It's hard to explain. I mean, you have no more free thought, it's always in your head the second you wake up in the middle of the night or the second your alarm goes off. But at the same time it's still not real.

Boring Blog?

Maaan, this blog might be more boring than I thought. I went to get an "ultrasound," or so I thought. Turned out we heard the babys heart beat and I won't get an ultrasound until 18-20 weeks. Heartbeat was exciting, it was just I expected to see little one and I was really excited. Oh well!

No new news. Lately, meat pretty much grosses me out. I don't ever really feel like eating anything. The best example I can give explaining this is, you know when someone says do you feel like pizza and you don't? Well thats how I feel towards everything lately, pretty much.....except iranian food, and pizza. People ask me if I crave anything, and I don't except I guess pizza so far.

That is all for now :)

Cruise Cruise Cruise Cruise

I am going on a cruise and couldn't be more excited! I've been wanting this foorreevvverrr. I even got a new bikini. I think a bikini would be cuter than a one piece with a little baby bump. I'm going to bahamas baby! My dream has been to be in turquoise waters forever! We were going to do an all inclusive at dmonican republic, but I am serious when I say that the waters weren't blue enough for me. WOOHOOOO!!

I deserve it!!

Happy 10 weeks to me!

That is the size of the baby right now (its a kumquat). Fun facts:
With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.)

P.S. Dad ANSWERED my call and even said love you too at the end of the convo!! Things are looking up?! I'll still take it slow. I'm just so happy!

Where is a medicine man?

So, I mentioned yesterday how I get migraines. I have always gotten them, and most people that suffer from migraines don't get them as much when pregnant. Unfortunately, I am not one of those lucky people. Last week, I had a terrible one, absolutely debilitating. Yesterday, was the same. It started around 3 in the afternoon and lasted until 3 today. There isn't much I can do for them, take tylenol, use an ice pack, have a cup of caffeine and take a nap. Sometimes I wake up and I'm better, other times I'm only better momentarily.

Today, I decided I couldn't take it anymore, I gave in and called a chiropractor that I went to once in my life. When I went, I got my neck cracked (though its my phobia) and I honestly can say I didn't really get a headache for a while. So I decided to call and pay out of pocket and just get an appt as soon as possible. I went today and we'll see if it works! I don't really believe in chiropractors, but I do know it worked one time when I didn't believe in it, and it was def worth a shot.

Oh yeah, and I took my spinal xrays from 2002, and my neck the spine is curved the opposite way of what it should be, which would explain headaches. Doesn't that sound awful? I think it is. Maybe my yoga class can somehow fix this.

Dreams oh dreams

9w4d

Pregnancy brings on lots of crazy things, and it's all different for everyone! Some people get acne, 75% of people get morning sickness, others become emotional while others are more stable minded. One thing that's common, crazy dreams!

I finally had my first baby dream a couple nights ago. I had a dream I had the baby like now, but it was completely healthy and normal- and it was a boy. He had light hair though, and looked like a white baby (no offense to anyone), but I was disappointed about that. Is it wrong to look forward to an exotic looking child? I think not. As far as gender, I don't really care what I want. First I wanted a girl, at the same time I sorta want a boy as they love their mamas! No matter what, I don't think I'll know the meaning of love until I see my baby.

P.S. Only 2 1/2 weeks until second trimester, meaning hopefully no more migraines, more energy, more surreal and safe, and closer to seeing the little one!!

P.P.S. I am showing and a little too selfish to be happy about it ;) I hope I end up liking preggo body cuz right now, I don't.
