UH OH.....

So I haven't been all that great at keeping this thing updated. In fact, I'm quite terrible this. Not surprising.... Anywho~ let me get the updating started!!! We went in for our first ultrasound on August 25th and I can't even begin to explain how I felt. I was a little apprehensive about the whole process, but I got over it fairly quickly once I looked at the screen. I actually shocked myself by knowing what I was looking at. I had to do the first part without Keith in the room and then the nurse went and got him. I will NEVER forget the look on his face. I think it started to become real for him at that moment.

Keith and I FINALLY cleaned out the "extra" room which I guess we should call the nursery. I'm pretty happy about it since we got it done a lot sooner than I ever imagined. I'm so ready to find out the sex of the baby even though I know it won't happen for a while. We agreed to not start buying stuff until we knew....Ok so I wasn't totally agreeable on this but he's the one with all the money :). I was super excited a couple of nights ago though because he mentioned that we should start looking at strollers and such. That's a HUGE deal to me because, well, I just want to buy baby stuff! HAHA Other than having to buy maternity clothes, which I'll touch on in a bit, I'm still not sure that I feel pregnant. The thought of getting things for the baby kind of helps me feel like there's one actually on the way!

Everyone asks me how I'm feeling on a very regular basis. I have such a hard time answering this question. I can't say I haven't had morning sickness, but I think a lot of my nausea has to do with what I've been eating. I've had problems with hypoglycemia in the past and ever since the pregnancy, I seem to be having a little struggly with it. I might get a little nauseous every few days if that, but it's not too bad. I happen to have fallen in love with Emetrol though! If I even begin to get a little iffy I take a sip and feel SO much better.

In the past couple of weeks I've noticed a change in the way my clothes are fitting me. As in.....they don't. Tops are a little snug in a couple of places. Pants on the other hand are really just ticking me off!!! It's not the I'm "showing" or really think that I'm close to that point, but somethings totally not letting my pants zip up. The other night, we went out to eat and I actually had to wear jeans without them being zipped or buttoned. That was an interesting feeling. So I've broken down and bought a couple of outfits for work. I haven't gained weight other than about a pound. But I guess it's shifting a lot!

Today is the last day of my first trimester. Just realizing that cause me to flood with emotion. I'm happy to know that we're out of that time when miscarriage is at it's most likely. I was so scared of that. I know that there is still plenty to think about, but I'm just going to focus on staying positive. I guess that's about all that's really been going on. I'll tryto keep this thing up!!!
