It's Tough

It's tough to go through the first trimester. The insane pregnancy sickness, which is followed up with headaches, tiredness and insomnia! If it's not one thing, it's something else. Every day I wake up with the outlook of "This will be a good day."

Yesterday I was looking at infant care. OMG! It's so expensive. Between $1075-$1200 a month. Granted we don't need it 5 days a week, but we have to cover all the what-ifs. Decisions will have to be made soon enough on what we're going to do.

We leave for Italy in a week and 5 days. Yay! Something to look forward to. Something to create fantastic memories!

Happy Graduation Day Blip!

My embryo is a fetus today! Holy moly!

Not only that but the Blip is an inch long. A whole inch, that's huge!!

My friend Mindy is in the hospital right now in labor. I hope that baby comes soon, as to not drive her completely insane from laboring! Go Mindy!! You're almost there!

Thump, Thump, Thump

We got a heartbeat today! Baby Blip (named by Daddy) is there, with a flickering heartbeat, swimming to his heart's content. Yay! I had an internal ultrasound, and there it was! Wow!

I guess the lungs are forming, nervous system is developing, and eyes are forming. I bet the baby will have blue eyes. I bet the baby will be beautiful. I bet the baby will be a handful, just like Daddy!

Favre #4

So Matt must be super excited about the baby. He ordered a Brett Favre #4 baby jersey in a 18 month (which is a onesie) and a 3T. Both arrived over the weekend, and they are absolutely to die for! Matt puts it up to himself and asks if it'll fit him. Too cute.

I can't wait to see Matt and Baby in their matching jerseys on Sundays watching football. That's something to really look forward to :-D

What a week!

It's been a long hard week for me. Last Friday it started with a headache and nausea. I made it through half the day at work and hauled my butt home. I ran in the house and headed straight for the bathroom....bleh! It's all gone. I lost my cookies!

I spent the afternoon napping. And the weekend for the most part.

Monday started Passover, and let's just say Kosher food for a Catholic pregnant girl, doesn't agree. I just wanted to hurl for 3 days straight. Finally the nausea and the headaches passed. But....not before spotting began.

And that's where we are again. Almost a week of spotting. It's a good thing and a bad thing. I just keep hoping it doesn't turn into red or pink.
