10 Weeks.

Another week has gone by, super fast! 

This past week it's been up close to the 100's or over and just killing me! I'm not really a summer type of gal. I prefer crisp weather, like which found in autumn or at winters end. That type is just lovely to me. So this heat has been quite miserable. Besides the heat, we had been in a drought & all the grass & plants & crops have been dieing... that is until yesterday. The sky turned black within a matter of minutes and down came the rain! Such a wonderful sight, though I did get soaked from head to toe just running to my front door from my car (I parked in front of our walkway, so I was super close). It's quite cooled off this morning, but the yahoo weather forecasts that it's not going to last, we should be back up to 100 by tomorrow. Oh well, at least we got some sort of a break!

As far as baby this week, I have been feeling a lot better! My morning/all day sickness is starting to ease up, but it is definitely still here. I'm also starting to get stronger cravings, but even when I crave something, I feel as though I can't stomach it and just go without. Earlier this week my hubby, Rogelio, bought me some Preggie Pop Drops to help with my nausea, and let me tell you, THEY WORK. Not only do they ease my nausea, but they are yummy too. It's a win win situation. : ) Sour Raspberry would have to be my favorite flavor. I've seen them at Motherhood in the mall, but Rogelio bought them at Babies R Us. Those are the only stores that I have seen carry them.

Food Cravings: Rice crispy treats and cereal.

Weight Gain: According to my new scale, 3lbs. It could be water weight/bloat, because I haven't been eating large amounts lately.

Symptoms: Insomnia! Light nausea and food aversions. Also feeling fatigue 24/7. I wake up in the morning & I'm already ready for a nap! And lets not forget all the trips to the restroom...every 15 minutes!

Memory Of The Week: I drove all the way to the next town over just to get some KFC, but when I got home the smell made me sick & I couldn't even enjoy it! Also, Rogelio and I were watching TV and some commercial came on for a snack food.. I made a comment like 'those look good' and the next day when he came home from work, he had some for me. What a sweetie!

9 Weeks.

Okay, so here it goes! I've decided to start blogging my pregnancy so that in years to come I can look back on everything I went through, from the morning sickness to the constant potty trips, and don't forget the growing belly! I don't want to forget anything, and with my brain the way it has been lately, that wouldn't be too hard! After all, you only go through your first, once. 

I am so excited for what the future holds for Rogelio & I. This is the start of something amazing & wonderful. I am lucky enough to say that I have been blessed with a wonderful man that I'd love my child to call dad one day & to get the opportunity to become a mother, myself.

 

This picture was taken on Tuesday, July 10th after our first prenatal appointment. We got to see our little baby dancing up on the screen in front of us, and of course it brought tears to our eyes & smiles to our lips! I couldn't believe something so precious, was inside of me. Everything hit home in that instant.

 

 Currently I am 9 weeks & 4 days pregnant.

Food Cravings: I haven't had too many strong cravings except for cheese. Loving it so much lately! Can't get enough. Also, rice crispy treats never sound bad, even when everything else sends me running the opposite direction.

Weight gain: 0lbs. so far.

Symptoms: Queasiness ALL OF THE TIME. Smelly food + me = no bueno! I haven't thrown up since week 7 though, yay! I haven't begun to show quite yet, but this bloated business has my abdomen sticking out like I've been doing this for 5 months already. Hopefully this eases up soon.

Memory Of The Week: Getting to see my baby via ultrasound for the very first time. Breathtaking!
