It's been a while... 10 weeks!

Wow it's been a while!
A few interesting/exciting things have happened in the past 4 weeks... let's see,
First, I was so sick! Couldn't keep anything down for 3 days straight and was incredibly weak, but I tried to get out and walk around Sam's with my mom and was dizzy and nauseous... which has kinda become the norm... but when we left and I sat down in my car and started driving, I knew something wasn't right so I called my mom and had her pull over (I was following her) and take me to the ER, I was shaking, having a panic attack, hyperventilating, my face was going numb, my entire torso was cramping, it was crazy! Once I got to the ER, they checked my blood pressure and it was 159/90... way too high for hardly doing anything so they did lots of tests and ultrasounds to see what was going on and make sure the baby was ok! Well... baby was just fine, growing right on time and had a strong healthy heartbeat, as for me... I had the stomach virus that was going around so they doped me up with some amazing nausea medicine, told me to eat super bland for 48 hrs and sent me on my way! The exciting part of all that was I finally got to see the baby!! Not really the situation I had in mind to see em but, it definitely put me at ease knowing that they're actually there, strong and healthy and not effected by my nasty virus!
Baby Reeves @ 8wks4days


I'm still not really showing, just look like I've eaten one too many cheeseburgers and ice cream! ;)
9 weeks
Mom and I went to Canton last weekend and man is it so hard to just look when you don't know if it's a boy or girl! And I swear, there are literally 10 other girls I know from highschool or college that are pregnant and we're all due around the same time!!

I'm super excited about the Jenny Lind crib I found on Craigslist for $40!! It is so nice and in GREAT condition, I feel like we basically stole it from this sweet lady, but I cannot wait to find out if we're going to paint it pink or blue!!

How far along? 10 weeks today :)
Total weight gain/loss: None
Maternity clothes? None... although I love the BellaBand! Although I'm not really showing yet, I can't stand to have anything tight or any kind of pressure on my tummy!
Stretch marks? None
Sleep: Tossing and turning cause I now find it irritating to sleep on my stomach which is usually the only way I sleep! Fighting cramping and peeing at LEAST 10x a night
Best moment this week: Seeing sweet baby Reeves and getting his/her crib!!
Miss Anything? Does Joel count?
Movement: None
Food cravings: Water, Mac-n-Cheese and Chick Fil A :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: the thought of meat or lettuce, period.
Have you started to show yet: Nope
Gender prediction: Joel says its going to be a girl :)
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody most of the time, but I think that is because I'm ready to go back to my house in Missouri with my dogs and my bed!
Looking forward to: Switching to the midwives in town and hearing Baby Reeves heartbeat the 13th!!

  1. So jealous you found a Jenny Lind crib for $40! That is the type of crib I'm looking to get. On Amazon it's like $160. I better start looking on Craigslist!
