8 weeks

Today should mark 8 weeks. I feel as though I am 20+ weeks. I can barely hold my belly in and my pants are so tight. It sucks because it is not even close to time for maternity clothes. No symptom changes lately, still very much exhausted after doing very little, and I always want to be at home in the bed. Work is very very very slow, so this makes me even more tired. I decided to take Friday off and get some more rest since we are off Thursday for New Year's Day. Still hate meal time b/c its so hard to just eat, there is SO much thaught and nausea involved. Nothing ever sounds good and I get tired of stuff easily. I had gained 7 pounds since I found out I was pregnant, but then lost 3 over the weekend - Holiday Food-yuck! I ate a lot of cheerios and pretzels. Can't wait for the Dr. Apt. next week!

Baby racked up!

The baby got many gifts this year for Christmas, it was so sweet of everyone to think of he or she. My Dad seems to think we are having twins, he joked about it all weekend. Twins run in my family on my mom's side. I guess we will see on January 8th!

Christmas

I can't wait to go home for Christmas, my mom said she has some baby gifts under the tree! I told her it was too early, but I am still excited. There are also a couple of cute boutiques in my home town; I remember they used to have the prettiest baby stuff, so I might just buy a little something for my little one. :)

Update

So the past week I have been getting nauseous. Especially in the car, I dread getting in the car everyday. But I am keeping my saltines and caffeine free coke handy, and just hoping for the next month to fly by. I am also getting very picky when its time to eat, hardly anything ever sounds good to me. And if I eat something one day I can't eat that same thing anymore. The thought of certain foods also make me want to hurl. And smells are getting to me now. When Cory eats something, if I can smell the food on him, I can't kiss him. :(

Stretchy pants

I have a new love for stretchy pants. I went shopping over lunch yesterday to see if I could find some casual cotton dresses to wear to work so I would be more comfortable. But no luck, I did however find some leggings/stretchy pants for $6.99 at Target. These will be my best friend now and in the months to come. I am going to get more today :) That reminds me of that episode of Friends where Phoebe's new sporty boyfriend's shorts are very revealing in the crotch area, and she gives him stretchy pants as a gift and Chandler shouts "stretchy pants! Well those are the best things in the world, if I were you I would wear them every day EVERY DAY!" That's the way I feel.....

I am noticing a pattern: everyday after lunch I feel like I have been hit by a train - no energy whatsoever.......And work is really slow right now so that doesn't help at all. And to make it worse only the women at work know that I am pregnant so the men just think I am being lazy or slacking. And probably noticing that I am getting fat, b/c it is also getting very hard to suck my gut in that I had before I got pregnant. Joy.

OMG!

So, I have noticed most of my clothes were getting kinda tight, but today was an eye opener-literally! I was sitting at my desk talking to my friend Aimee and our mgr David. When I turned back around to my desk, I looked down and my top button of my shirt had come undone and my boobs were popping out!!!!!!!! I was mortified!

Also, yesterday I was wearing a plaid jumper and Aimee (oh honest Aimee) told me that this dress wouldn't keep my secret for long!!!!!

So Cory- can I please go shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

In other news, I have begun to get a little queasy on the ride to work each day.......And I think we are going to search for a new OBGYN. We really want to deliver at this hospital that is one exit away from our house. But my OB said she delivers at the branch on Dunwoody. I just don't see the point when we have a perfectly good hospital right here. So I am going to call and ask about their regular Doctors. It would be so convenient to see our Dr., take our classes and deliver the baby just a few miles from the house. Keep your fingers crossed that we find a good one!

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!
