No one told me this...

OK, so when women dream of getting pregnant, they know 1 thing for sure. Labor is going to hurt like h***. But what no one told you (me) is that pregnancy HURTS!!! The stretching of every thing inside your body hurts!! Right now I am 8 weeks and 2 days. I get winded walking up from my parking lot to my office...AHH. OK, by no means am I in shape, but since I have lost 38lbs (YEA ME!!!) it has gotten a whole heck of a lot easier walking to my office. I have not been winded in a LONNNNNGGGG time. This morning wasn't too bad, but last week, I thought I would pass out once I got to the elevator, yikes.

Right now things are going good. I have been extremely blessed with no morning (all day) sickness. I have found that I cant drink milk or dairy products. They make me VERY sick. So I have switched to Lactaid Milk, and surprisingly it isn't bad at all. I ate cereal yesterday and was just fine!! Woohoo. Now if I can just find a substitute for ice cream. Thats all I crave (yes, I do believe the cravings have set in). Snow Cones while they are yummy, it just doesn't do the job of wonderful Ben and Jerry's.

This isn't pregnancy related, but I need prayers for my daddy. He was taken to the ER and staying over night due to High Blood Pressure. He is having a Stress Test today.

Surprise!!!

I'm sure if you have read some of my previous posts Brian and I have been trying (on and off) to have a baby. Well, we are PREGNANT!! Shocking I know, there are moments throughout the day that I still wonder if its real. We found out on June 13, 2010 with a positive blood test on the 14th. Our Expected Due Date will be Feb. 19, 2011...I am really praying that this baby will make sure it doesn't come on Valentines day. I really dont want it to share a birthday with a holiday, well if you can really consider V-day a "holiday."

I will be 8 weeks on Saturday 7/10/10. Things so far are going pretty good. I haven't really had any problems with morning sickness. I do get waves of nausea throughout the day, but I have noticed if I munch on something, I generally do OK.

I figured that this might be the best way for me to keep those updated that I may not talk to on a daily/weekly basis. Family and Friends who live out of state.
