Week 6

So I am a little late this week and more than half way through week 6. I am still dealing with lovely morning sickness. I started taking zofran daily to help me get through the day. I have yet to actually get sick, but the dry heaves have made my stomach muscles hurt. But, as long as Baby Love is ok I will deal with it:) I have done lots of lying around and doing a whole lot of nothing this week. Jared is working late so when I get home from Kyle's, the couch is calling my name.

I did take Kyle to the movies on Thursday. We went and saw Ice Age 3D. It was really cute and Kyle loved it. He flapped his little arms most of the movie:) I had Friday off and was able to get out and trim the bushes and flowers. I was exhausted by the time I went in, though. So I didn't get much done around the house. So here is Baby Love this week (Aww it's the size of a sweet pea:) :

Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin. Those little hands and feet- still webbed like paddles- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate

Here are some pics that I took. I was a little addicted to testing if you can't tell:)

So I was a little excited:)

How we told...

Of course the first person I told I was pregnant was Jared! He had gone to the grocery store at like 6:30 am because he "forgot" to check to see if we had meatballs for Nikki's baby shower. When he left I thought, I think I will pee on a stick and see if I'm pregnant (I'm sure that's what most normal people think when they first wake up:) So anyways, I ended up falling back asleep. I heard the garage door go up and I ran to the bathroom. I have no clue what the urgency was ... but I did. I tested and waited and waited and waited for the digital thing to tell me "not pregnant." When it was ready I looked at it, and had to do a second look. I couldn't believe it. I ran downstairs and held it in Jared's face and said, "Do you see what I see?" What does he say? "It smells like pee!" Then he laughed and gave me a hug. We were both surprised and so excited.

So we couldn't wait to tell out parents. Jared decided to call his parents instead of going up to see them. He called and let his mom just talk, like it was no big deal. It was driving me crazy! Finally he said, "Well, Kim passed her test!" Of course she was confused. She couldn't figure out what he was talking about so he said "The test that makes you a Grandma!" She was excited, so he went through the same thing and told his dad.

After getting the house ready for Nikki's shower, we went to tell my parents. I bought a onesie that said "I love my grandma!" I wrapped the pregnancy test in the onesie and put it in a grocery bag. When we got to my parents they were confused and surprised to see us there. I told them I wanted to show them something I got. My mom opened it and was really confused. I put the wrong onesie in it that said "I love my mommy!" She thought it was something I got for Nikki. That is until I flipped the test over. I think her jaw hit the floor. My dad was just as surprised. Then there were hugs all around!!!

I texted April a picture of the the pregnancy test. I was going crazy because she wasn't calling me back. I called her 4 times and no answer. Finally while we were at my parents she called me back laughing hysterically! The first thing she did was make sure it was mine:) Then we talked about everything. Needless to say she was super excited. She told Lukey Kiki had a baby in her belly. Lukey said, "Kiki sick?" April explained I was having a baby. So cute.

Jared called his brother to tell him. Adam and his girlfriend were on a weekend trip to go skiing. He was surprised. Then he asked Jared if he knew how this happend. Jared asked him if he wanted to be an aunt or uncle, so Adam decided he wanted to be an Aunt.

I didn't want to tell Nikki until after her shower because I didn't want to take away from her day. But I soon realized it would be a bigger deal if I did that because all the people would be there. So when they got to my house I called Emylie into the kitchen. I told her to go tell her mommy that she was going to have a cousin in October. She had me repeat it like 3 times then went and told her. At first she didn't understand, then looked at April. April shook her head no and pointed to me. Nikki was really excited, but speechless.

Sooooo.... since we were having a lot of my family over for the shower we had Emylie tell them as well. Needless to say everyone was so excited. It was such a great day. After the shower we ended up all getting together at our house for pizza!! I love spending time with my family.

I can't leave out calling Kyle's family:) I called Adrienne in the morning, but she was knocked out on pain meds from her foot surgery. I decided to call her back after everyone left. She started screaming then put me on speaker phone so I could tell the boys. Jon started yelling, Kyle started yelling "Woo, yea!!" and Matthew thought it was gross!!

The end:)

I'm Pregnant!

So we just found out Saturday that ... wait for it ... "I'm PREGNANT!" I know! We are extremely excited, and nervous! There is so much that is going through my mind, it is scary (especially since I'm not on my ADD medication there are now a million and one things going through my head!)
We are praying for a safe healthy baby! From calculations, the baby should be due in October.

When we told everyone, they all asked "so how do you feel?" I felt perfectly fine. Not even a hint of pregnancy. That is until Monday hit. I woke up slightly nauseous. I thought it was nothing, ate my cream of wheat and went on my way feeling better. But now it is Thursday and I go to bed nauseous and wake up horribly nauseous. It seems to go away by mid morning, but I am hoping this is the worst it can get. Other areas are sore, but I won't go into details:)

So, as many of you know I take medication for my ADD. If you take medication you can understand this when I say: I am a zombie without my meds. Since the meds are a stimulus they help keep me alert and awake because not only do I have ADD, but I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So the meds definitely work in my favor. But, I don't want to change having a baby with an arm growing out of the side of its head I have stopped taking it cold turkey. So on top of being pregnant I am not on my medicine, so the days seem to drag ever so slowly. I also cut caffene cold turkey. Go me:) I have had no withdraw symptoms other than being tired. So forgive me if I ramble, my little brain can't help it right now.

So that is a big reason for starting a blog. To get all my million and one thoughts out of my head I thought I would write them on here. So here they go:
Is my baby going to be ok?
Will sheum (thats what I say when I put she and he together:) be healthy?
Will I be a good mommy?
Will this blasted morning sickness ease up?
Will it get any worse?
Will I be this tired for 9 full months?
Will Jared kill me by the end?
Can I actually deliver this baby?
What can I eat?
What can't I eat?
I sure miss my coke!
Will I have a cute baby bump or will I uff out into a ginormous balloon?

And that's just my pregnancy questions! I have many others, but they don't deal with pregnancy.
Like what am I going to do this weekend?
I miss my meds!
Will my student be better tomorrow...

And that, my friends, is a glimpse into my mind. Some of you might have turned away at the beginning, but if not ... Thanks for listening:)
