Ultrasound
So I haven’t updated in awhile.
I got my ultrasound Friday, We get to find out the sex of the baby!
I won’t know though until my gender reveal party (which I will, be blogging!)
I am super duper excited though to see it though
and this time with Justin
They always make me so nervous, What if they see my baby and it has 12 fingers and toes or like some crazy hole in it’s hard.
Ugh, i’m too paranoid,
I’m starving and just went some effin’ Subway, Sweet Onion Chicken Terryaki (my new obsession) and a cookie cake would be awesome right about now.
I can celebrate the sex of my baby at the melting pot for girls night out! woo hoo!
Perfection.
Atleast as close as I can get right now.
Things these last few days have been so great and they just seem to get better. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I finally got to see my baby and I never knew seeing it on that little screen that I could fall so in love, what I saw was the most perfect and beautiful little angel and at that moment I just knew how amazing this little one was going to be and how everything that I do in my life is no longer for me but for them.
Plus Justin has also been so amazing. We had a junk food movie marathon and it was so yummy and I couldn’t have been happier just cuddling and pigging out. And tonight we are even going bowling! Hopefully with some friends but if not, it’s still good to get out. Even more amazing part? his idea. not mine. :D
And then tomorrow I get to be a girl and get a manicure and probably grab a bite at Tijuana Flats. Yummy for my tummy. Do the usual hang out with yaya then join the rest of the crazy family. Yay. I’m so thrilled.
Now just to find out this sex, Kick Eric out, Get all this probation bull over with then I will be in pure bliss :D
Progesterone, I hate you.
So today will be day 2 out of who knows how many progesterone injections. I am not looking forward to this. I can honestly think of 2 million things I’d rather be doing. Watching paint dry would be one of them. I never really wanted to be pregnant in the first place. This is not helping curve my decision. Oh well, it is what it is now. WISH ME LUCK!
Angst
So I feel like a 13 year old teenager again. Filled with hormones and mood swings that appear out of nowhere for the smallest of things. Then everything escalates until I lose my mind.
Traffic. I didn’t want to drive Justin to work but I did anyways. I was already mad at him for not getting ready for work on time. Then he forgets his phone. I have to drive back. He should’ve been glad he forgot his phone. So I drop him off and that’s when I hit it. No one is driving. Not in the left or right lane. I’m back and forth, tailgating, everything. No avail. No one is moving. I feel like I’m losing sanity here. Finally I get home.
The chair. So I have this computer chair that the office of disabilities bought me. It’s designed so I can get up and down easily. So I use it to get changed on and blah blah blah. I don’t know why Justin thinks this is HIS video game chair. Cause its not. He tips it back and gets comfy like its his. its like leaving the toilet seat up. Its annoying. Only in this case I have no idea how to put it down. So it stays tilted and me unable to put on pajama pants. Sad face.
Surround sound. Surround sound is cool but not when its like 11 pm and everyone is going to bed. If I wanted to watch that movie I would be in the room with you. I don’t need to hear it perfectly over 3 sets of walls. So when I take a hammer to your TV and speakers don’t be surprised.
Sleep. What? What’s that? With multiple doctor appointments, picking Justin up from his 3rd shift job and just plain ole’ being in pain 24/7 like some cancer patient on chemo. I have no sleep. Maybe a few hours here, a few here, its ridiculous. I went from 9 hours being a well rested good night to 4 hours being a good night, with sporadic wake ups during that time period.

Your Pregnancy: Week 7
If you’re one of the “lucky” pregnant women to experience morning sickness (a poorly named symptom of pregnancy as it can strike at any time of the day), remember that it won’t last forever. Most of the wooziness tapers off by the second trimester. Of course, mental wooziness can affect you throughout your pregnancy, as you think of your growing to-do list, or wonder about how you’re life will change, or worry if you’ll know how to handle it all. Luckily, the cure for that wooziness is laying your eyes on your new baby.
Wondering what’s up with your body, your baby and your life this week? Read on …
What You’re Thinking:
“How can I feel like I’m hung over all day long when I’ve had nothing to drink in three weeks?”
Your Body
You’re supposed to be “eating for two” but instead, it’s hard for you to swallow water. As a result, you’re “praying to the porcelain god for two.” Morning sickness can leave a pregnant chick exhausted, weak and wondering what on earth she got herself into. Don’t throw in the towel just yet, here’s how to cope:
There are a whole bunch of tricks that pregnant women swear help to reduce nausea caused by morning sickness such as sucking on lemon drops or any other hard candy.
Sometimes certain foods can help relieve the symptoms of morning sickness. Also, blaming your partner for everything has been known to comfort many women in the throes of nausea.
Even if you’re experiencing frequent vomiting, try not to worry, as your baby needs very little nourishment this early in the pregnancy. Good thing, since all you’ve eaten today is two boxes of saltines.
If you’re noticing weight loss or dehydration, you could have hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that occurs very infrequently. Check with your doctor.
Your Baby
This week your baby’s brain is growing at a mind-boggling 100 cells per minute within a see-through skull. If you could peer inside, you’d see those tiny brain cells growing and growing and growing (about as quickly as you feel like yours are shrinking and shrinking and shrinking with your “pregnancy brain”!). More high points include:
Your baby’s face is becoming more defined this week. A tiny mouth hole (which will be ready to wail before you know it!), tongue, nostrils and ear indentations are visible. His or her eyes are wide open, but he doesn’t have irises (the colored part) yet.
Baby’s arm buds are growing. At this point they look more like microscopic ping-pong paddles than arms. Baby’s leg buds are also forming and will look like tiny paddles by the end of the week.
The umbilical cord—the connection between your baby and the placenta—is now visible.
Your baby is now between 1/3 and 1/4 inch long—about the length of a Tic Tac and about as heavy as an eyelash. While that sounds tiny, he or she is approximately 10,000 times bigger than at conception. Crazy, huh?
I’m pregnant.
I’m pregnant. I’m pregnant.
I wish I could wrap my head around those words. I can’t seem to believe it.
Is it possible to be in shock for over a week?
I’m terrified to tell my mom even though she had me at 14, and I’m 20 years old. A legal adult.
I wish I could share the excitement Justin has.
Instead I’m terrified, confused, upset, ashamed.
Hopefully in time things will change.
