Feeling: I've been better than I was the last two weeks due to a sinus infection. I sometimes feel like my stomach is expanded to it maximum although I am considered small for 6.5 months.

Health: I didn't get to excercise because I was sick for two weeks straight. However, my goal is to start using the videos I purchased recently.

Movement: I felt flutters for awhile really low above my pelvic bone but on April 20th I finally felt a kick on the outside. Phil was also was able to feel one later on that night. Its been amazing. LO is starting to move more everyday. The posiitions vary...sometimes real low right above my pelvic bone and others next to my belly button.

Belly: I popped around two weeks ago! I offfically have a hard bump:0)



The anatomy scan results came back normal. I was very happy about this and feel blessed to have a life growing inside me. I love LO so much is insane. I could only imagine how much stronger it will get once I meet he or she.

Wow...already 12 weeks tomorrow!

I can't believe I am 12 weeks already. Next week we have our NT Scan appt and I can't wait to see our little one again. Last time we saw Boobie was at 8 weeks. I know he or she is going to be so much bigger than last time. I will come back and update the blog once I get my pictures and results. I pray that everything is okay and my Boobie is healthy. I am so attached to my baby now and I can't wait to get to the 2nd trimester and to when I finally have a real baby belly.

M/S No es bueno...

So I am now in my 5th week(YAY!) and nausea has kicked in. It started yesterday afternoon and continued through the night. I was in and out of sleep all night and even in my dreams felt nauseous. I stayed in bed until 10 a.m. because of it. Since then its been off and on all day. I haven't actually thrown up yet but I know eventually it will happen. It feels more like a bad hangover.

Two more days until Christmas Eve. I was telling DH that I hope I don't get sick at his families house when we go over for Christmas. That would be really really bad:0( I can't wait until our first u/s on January 6th. I want it to go faster and for everything to be okay. I pray everyday for this baby to stay and be healthy. I talk to my LO everyday and the love I feel is unreal. I want everything to be ok.

I'm Pregnant! Praying for a sticky healthy baby!

AF was due on 12/9 only 10dpo and I had mild cramping so I thought for sure I was getting it. Around 6 p.m. I went to CVS and decided to purchase a HPT for the heck of it. Once I got home I tested and it was clearly positive!I couldn't believe it and became overwhelmed with emotions. See the last time I got a postive, although it was really faint, the next day I got a negative and ended up with AF. That was considered a chemical pregnancy. So there I stood praying and hoping that this was for real this time. DH came home from work and I told him I had a surprise. I walked him into the bathroom and showed him the stick. He didn't know what he was looking for...lol I pointed at the box where it showed what a positive was and he smiled and said wow. We are so happy but praying for a healthy sticky baby.

I took another test at 14dpo and it was still positive so I called my doctor to make an appt. They scheduled me for a blood test on Monday (12/14) and I still haven't heard back from them but it can take up to 48 hrs. I get nervous at times but am trying to stay positive and continue to be thankful for the wonderful blessing.

Vent:o(

So my DH and I have been ttc for 4 cycles now. Even though it is a short time, I still feel anxious and a bit worried that I will have problems. I was on bcp's for almost ten years and never missed a pill. I wish someone would've have warned me about bcp. Since getting off I've gained weight, had constant headaches (first two cycles off) and honestly have no clue if I am ovulating. This is my first cycle charting and I am on CD13. Took 2 OPK so far in the last three days and both were negative. I really want this and I know I must be patient but there are times througout the month that it gets me down. I truly leave it in gods hands. I will continue going to the gym and taking steps to be healthier. I just wish I was in my twenties and not in my early thirties, then I wouldn't feel like time is flying. Wishing for an O and a big fat "P' this cycle.

Quick & Easy Dinner

So today I spend all day with my friend's toddler at her house. So by the time I got home I was starving! Running around after him all day gave me no time to really enjoy a meal. So when I got home I wanted to make something quick but yummy. I am over fast food and on a tight budget. I was glad to find Perdue Breaded Breast Chucks, General Tso's Glazed. Omg, this was so delicious and easy to make with a bed of white rice. You simply preheat the oven 425 degrees and leave the chicken cooking for only 14-15 minutes. The kit includes the General Tso's sauce packet. Just place in microwave for 1.5 minutes in a safe bowl. Once the chicken in the oven is completed pour sauce over chicken. Tonight I made white rice on the side with some steamed broccoli to go with the chicken. Yummy! My husband loved it too.
