Weird pregnancy symptoms

Jenny thought I should let you know about the fun symptoms I've had.

Excess saliva, yes drooling. Cramping, sore boobs, growing boobs, constipation, which I've been told can lead to nasty hemrroids, so metamucil 2x a day to avoid that! Baby brain - like trying to buckle myself into the seat at the movie theatre, putting a refilled ice tray into the dishwasher instead of the freezer, forgetting things.  Body fatigue, moodiness - I freaked out on Sean about chocolate and his concerns of me over-imbibing.  Then a while later I was sobbing for god knows what reason.

Lately I have been super hot, too hot. whew.  No weird cravings or aversions really.  The weird dreams have subsided a little, however last night I had a dream about revisiting Banff and my old steed Scout, who they had renamed to "Neil" as Scout was a poor name!?  Really!

My asthma is much worse - yes, I acquired asthma this summer and it has been horrendous!  My my IUS had kept it away??? :)

Its hard to believe that next week - Oct 18, will mark the end of our first trimester!  Baby is growing.  I feel like I'm showing already.

1st ultrasound

Lucky for me - morning sickness rarely rears its ugly head and passes moments after it first makes me wrinkle my nose.  I haven't had a lot of weirdo cravings or aversions - Sean?  Can you confirm?

Baby brain is in full swing as I attempted to put the ice tray in the dishwasher instead of the freezer this morning.  However - apparently Dads can have sympathy baby brain as Sean has been doing and saying some odd things lately as well. :)

This ultrasound was a "dating ultrasound" used early on, it determines the due date based on the growth of the fetus at this stage: New Due Date: MAY 9, 2013.  We could see the little heart beating and what I thought was a close up of the face was actually my ovary - they look like faces in that grey-wash mess!  Really! Anyways, this twerp has hands and feet that are now moving around pretty good.  Sean was a little disappointed there was only 1 baby in there.  We didn't cry there at the radiology place, but I had a mini meltdown in superstore (whats with that place?!)

This Monday we meet with my Doctor and... I have no idea what will happen.  Maybe I'll get a balloon and a lollipop?  Hope so. 

Pregnancy kind of reminds me of being a teenager - crying for no real reason, delirium at the thought of a paddy pan squash being a flying saucer.  I love that word: Paddy Pan!  Wonder when my baby will be the size of a paddy pan?  hmmm.  Alright I'm rambling now, so more to come after Dr appointment and I can tell you what happened there.

ps- the basement is coming together (thank you Sean and Grampy Franner!) while our spare room (aka:warehouse) is piled high with junk and treasure

First day of morning sickness

So, apparently superstore trips are not agreeable to baby bean.  I could not look at the pork loins! Felt wretched while searching for bigger bras (yes, already) and vitamin e cream. Have had seriously dry skin since pregnant. Today we told the Schmidt's about baby.  They were pumped. :)

Telling the families...

I know, we are only 6 weeks along, but were telling family. They're gonna notice my not drinking and baby brain moments anyways. Such as: trying to buckle myself into the seat at the movies, putting things in oddball places...

Here I am at 6 weeks

1st Dr appointment

Sept 7- meeting Dr brown (dr Blignaut is away) on Monday Sept 10 at 9am. Exciting! Gonna go shop for an antique rockin chair with my honey this weekend.  So far I feel a constant stirring in my belly, my boobs are sore, I am weird and emotional, fatigued, I do stupid things. I also have crazy vivid dreams, often scary. Sean is cute cooking me delicious meals and stocking the fridge with healthy food. :) very happy.

Sept 10, just waiting to have bloodwork done. Saw Dr Brown. He figures I am a-ok to ride, ski, etc. He told us if we have 2 confirmed Pee tests, then we are yes, pregnant. He loosely agreed that my due date would be May 10, right around mothers day - great. Nothing like going into labour during flower deliveries! Ultrasound on Sept 27 and next appointment is Oct 1 with Dr Blignaut.  Sean and will tell our news to family and friends this week - I think.

Baby On Board

Discovered September 2 2012, that we are indeed, pregnant!  Eeeeee.  Scary.  Exciting. To think life as we know it will be ending in 8 months.

2 pregnancy tests can't lie.  To think Baby was along on our Yaha Tinda horse ride this summer! Next Duck Derby we will have a baby!  CRAZY!

Looks like baby will be due right around MOTHERS DAY - talk about a the worst time for a florist to be expecting to pop. :)  Now, what colour to make baby's room? Hmmmm...
