Hello ya'll (anyone who's actually still clicking on this thing after two months without a post)
So as you probably know, I'm unexpectedly knocked up. Quite an exciting, fun surprise that I'm happy about, but a shocking, what-the-heck-are-we-going-to-do? surprise. The first few weeks I was just in shock. (I never missed a pill - just keep that in mind ladies) Then I started planning, figured out a few things, feeling more prepared and relaxed about it, and then the sickness hit. Vomiting, vomiting as far as the eye could see. The term "morning sickness" is a big fat joke. I actually felt great in the morning. Everyday I would wake up, say to myself, "Gosh, I was being such a big baby about being sick. I feel great! Today is going to be a new day!" Then by about 11:00 I just wanted to die. If I wasn't puking, I was so close to puking, that my nausea was the only thing I could concentrate on for weeks on end. In addition, we had some crazy turmoil at work and I needed to work regular 12-hour days that I was short-handed during. So, I was doing the job of two people, working crazy overtime, and just wanting to curl up in a ball and cry during the whole thing. Horrible to say the least. It was by-far the most horrible two months of my life (and that's including the second term of LLD during which I was a giant mess) But I've started feeling more human. My vomiting down to only once every few days (waaayyyy better than throwing up after every meal), and I'm not so nauseous all the time that I just want to cry. Unfortunately, Pumpkin is still being a picky eater, and wont let me eat much more than white carbs (no whole grains...ever) a little dairy, and a little fruit. The fruit is a huge improvement. During my two-months-from-hell I was solely surviving on instant mac-and-cheese and rice cakes. Not so awesome. But, I can now keep down most fruit as long as I don't eat too much.
Pumpkin is starting to poke out now. Which is really fun. I know people who were really unhappy when their body started to change and felt really fat. I don't feel fat, I feel pregnant! Hopefully I remain this upbeat about all the changes my body will go through the rest of the pregnancy. I can't wait until I can feel him/her kick. I'm really looking forward to that. We aren't going to find out the sex, so Pumpkin will remain Pumpkin until birth. Names are still a bit up in the air, though we've pretty much decided on Finn for a boy, and Moira for a girl. The middle name will be James (after my side of the family) either way. Anyhoo - I'm planning on keeping this thing up to date now that I'm feeling better, so that I can chronicle my pregnancy.
Wish us luck
