This morning sickness thing is NO JOKE! And calling it "morning sickness"...also a joke. I am sick all day every day for the past 9 days!! I don't throw up but I'm so nauseous, I can hardly move at times! I am doing my best to eat and drink water after my little trip to the ER last week for some fluids-Jeeze Louise!
In other news, I am 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant and hopefully can do a check in soon. I go for my ultrasound on Thursday and I am so excited to see Baby P. I have this feeling that there might be more than one Baby P...which honestly, would be perfect! The way I feel now is so bad, I think I can only handle "morning sickness" once. We'll see in two more days! Everyone is saying that Baby P is a boy which is why I am so sick-we'll have to wait a couple more months to see if that's the case or not.

5 weeks 3 days
How far along: 5 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: Still no scale, but the bloat seems to be going down.
Sleep: I can't sleep in anymore, 7:00am is the latest I can sleep.
Movement: Nope
Food cravings: No cravings yet, I've been really crazy about what I eat and I'm really only eating what is good for the baby and NO empty calories. One thing that is weird, I really don't want sweets. They totally turn me off which is definitely strange for me as I am a sweets lover.
Gender: Not for a while, we'll know in February or March
Symptoms: Still sore boobs but my sleep bra is helping that, a little bloated, still some queasy feelings and now...BREAKOUTS! I somehow avoided pimples my whole life, until now. Thanks Baby P!
Best moment of the week: Telling my Dad-it was absolutely amazing to see his reaction. We got him a card and wrote a little poem in it from Baby P. My dad is walking around on a cloud! Now we are dying to tell Jp's parents but we have to wait until Christmas morning because we want to tell them in person-a little over two more weeks!
Only two more weeks until our first ultrasound, we can't wait!!

The day that changed everything!
On Wednesday 11/30/2011 around 5:45 a.m., I snuck to the bathroom to take an HPT. I was nervous and giddy and just kept praying I would see the word I've been wanting to see for so many months. Almost immediately, there is was, PREGNANT! I KNEW IT! I was very suspicious over the past couple days of the things I have been experiencing: CRAVING, like HAD to have, Ginger Ale, skin not breaking out like it does before my period comes, a couple little dizzy spells and NO spotting. I jumped up and down and wanted to wake Jp to tell him, but I had this huge elaborate plan to tell him but I couldn't wait. I went back to bed and tapped him on the shoulder, "What time are you getting up?" I asked, he said "6:15, what's wrong?!?! Are you spotting? It's o.k. if you are!" I told him that I wasn't and switched the light on. He was totally confused and asked me what was going on? I showed him the test, which he couldn't read because his eyes hadn't adjusted to the light. He stared at the test, blinking it into focus and then he saw it and said, "It says your pregnant!!" and threw his fist in the air! HA! I was laughing and crying and the dogs were looking at us like we were nuts! It was perfect!
We knew we wanted to tell some people right away, my sister, Dad and my two best friends but we would have to wait to tell his parents because we wanted to tell them in person (On CHRISTMAS!!!). Every one's reaction was great, I could hear my sister's smile over the phone and she instantly helped me make a plan as to how to tell our nieces and nephews on Christmas and then told me I had to tell our brother because she was going to see him this weekend and couldn't keep it in. Both of my best friends were SO excited and both wished they could have been here with me that day to celebrate. My brother was happy and my sister-in-law squealed! It was all so perfect!
My dr's office had me come in right away for my Beta and called soon after with my results. The nurse scared me because she sounded so serious and then said, "Congratulations girl, you are definitely pregnant, your beta was 344!" YAHOO! I went back for my repeat beta and progesterone today and am anxiously awaiting the phone call.

It's unreal how special I feel. I have this amazing, size of a poppy seed secret inside and I am over the moon. As for Jp, he is walking around with the biggest grin on his face and tells me silly things like "don't bump into anything"! This pregnancy could not have come at a more perfect time! Christmas is my favorite holiday and everything is so magical and exciting and finding out Baby P is on the way is going to make this Christmas that much more special!
