This week will be week 8! SO far I feel really good! I havent had any morning sickness so far ( knock on wood!) other than I'm a little more acidy in my stomach. Once I start feeling it I make sure I eat something and drink alot of water and that seems to do the trick! I still have my days of denial about this whole pregnancy thing and I sometimes have the urge to go buy another pregnancy test to just double check! As you can see in the picture below it definatly says PREGNANT! I found myself looking at it multiple times for a couple of days just to be sure that it didnt change but then the batteries died! I did take too and they were both positive so I guess I need to just accept that there is no going back now! hehehe!
My biggest challenge so far has been the heat... It is so HOT in my house and I feel like I'm over heating all the time. I have heat rash all over my legs and back and it's not from being outside, it's just because I'm always so freaking hot. I think that the heat is what is causing the few pregnancy symtpoms that I do have. I am bloated all the time.... I feel like im 9 months pregnant already! On top of the bloating I am having issues with the whole bathroom thing and its really annoying. I've been a little moody but the worst of that was before I knew that I was knocked up! Now that I look back at a few episodes that I had it makes a little more sense. The last thing I have felt is water retention... I thought that was something that you got at 8 months pregnant not 8 weeks! But my legs and feet are so swollen! ( this is also part of the heat too i'm sure!) here are a few pictures of how ugly my ankles... aka kankles look!!
I look like I have a tree trunk for a leg! The weirdest part to me is that my feet and ankles are swollen but my toes aren't! It looks so weird!
I had a huge bump on the side of my ankleSo far I feel pretty lucky and I hope that the next 32 weeks goes just as smooth! I have noticed that my appitite isn't really there anymore and nothing ever sounds good to eat other than Movie Theater Popcorn, and Jamba Juice! I just eat so that I don't get sick! I hope that it keeps working! I have my first doctors appointment next tuesday which I think will help with the denial I keep feeling! I started looking at baby furniture yesterday at work and found a few things that I really like. We want to start getting things now so that it doesn't kill us financially right before the baby comes. Here are a few pictures of what I found!
Big surprise I know Black and White Damask print! It does match alot of things in my house though and I can use it for a Boy or a Girl! I want to go buy it right now but I have no where to put it so I'll restrain myself for a little while! Some of you who are reading this are probably thinking that this is way more info than you ever wanted to know but I think most of you will know exactly what I am talking about! Plus I'm not one who is easily embarrassed about anything ...If you ask I'll tell!!! hahah You have been warned!P.S. I think that Michael Jackson Died for a reason, I was already pregnant before he died and so either way I wouldn't have been able to go! God knew that I would probably be angry so he took him before I knew that my dream was to be shattered no matter what! hahaha just kidding!
