In other news, I still don't have any nausea. I do have to go to the bathroom at least once an hour. At night it is even worse - I probably go to the bathroom 5-6 times in the first hour after I lay down. I eventually get up because I can't sleep. I have been falling asleep around 3AM for the last two weeks. Not fun, but at least I am on summer break! Heartburn hasn't been bad since that first weekend after implantation took place. I am hungry more often but have actually lost 4 pounds since we found out I was pregnant. However, I do not fit into any of my pants OR shorts due to the bloating. A shopping trip is needed in the near future to solve this problem as I am getting tired of wearing the few bottoms that I own that actually fit me. Good thing I will be home on Friday to go shopping with my mom!
No other news to report as of now. I do have a week's worth of old posts that I will post within the next couple days. I know you all will be waiting for them :)
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers - GOD is good!

I really hope you somehow avoid getting the nausea - it is the worst part of pregnancy by FAR!!! I will take back pain and bloating over nausea ANY DAY!!! I still pee CONSTANTLY - both day and night. I can't say that it gets much better but maybe you be luckier in that aspect.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and Todd and Gracie. SO SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY! I can't wait to see belly pics soon on the blog! ;)
Just don't take any in granny pannies like I do...
Congrats on on your baby who is growing just as he/she should be! I am so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying that my hubby and I can soon experience this awesome gift too. :)
So exciting to see a baby growing inside your womb, huh?? I can't wait to experience that!
ReplyDeleteAnd exciting to shop for maternity clothes! Glad baby is doing well!
Awesome, I am so proud of you!!! Can't wait to meet my new nephew/niece :) Love you - looking forward to Friday.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to see the heartbeat! It's such a great moment. Congrats--and I hope you have an uneventful pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's such a wonderful thing to see baby for the first time! I'm sorry about the loss of your other one, though.
ReplyDeleteTwo things-
I had bloating around that time too, but then it subsided. Don't do too terribly much shopping because in another week or two, you'll change again, and then you'll change a lot shortly after that. I finally just bought some nice sundresses with flexible silhouettes-no waistline to worry about, and plenty of room for baby or bloating or whatever.
Also, whatever you do, don't pray for morning sickness ;) It's kind of like praying for patience. Just don't do it. I made that "mistake" and the next day, I started puking all day, every day! It was miserable. I've had a break the last 36 hours and I've been so grateful!
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYour story is inspirational. My husband and I are in the process of filling out the NEDC application to begin our journey. I came across your blog (not even sure how), but glad that I did. Please continue to post as I look forward to following your journey as it makes mine a little less unknown.
