Ugh, migraine please go away

Well, we had a good weekend. Didn't do too much but did enough. Got to hang out with family at Kaitlyn and Kyle's birthday party, visit an apple orchard with mom and watched the Packer's game with Anthony and his folks.

I ended up sleeping most of Sunday...through most of the Packer's game and then was in bed early with a migraine. I was dissapointed, I'd read a few places that often women who suffered from migraines before pregnancy don't get them during it. Apparently I'm not one of those lucky few. Well, guess i'll take migraines over throwing up any day!

Made it into work and got some marketing done then had to go home. Thankfully, my chiro adjusted me but my mid cervical is stuck...which is very unlike me. Normally Im super easy to adjust.

I have my 4 month OBGYN appointment this Thursday and I'm excited to hear baby barna's heartbeat again! It's getting to the point where I should start feeling definitive kicks and movement soon...the little one's I have felt though are so cool!

We will be able to find out if baby's a boy or a girl in a few weeks. I really didn't want to know when we first got pregnant but the farther along and with movement now and then it's all becoming so much more real and I really want to find out! We shall see though.

Dear baby Barna, your dad and I are excited to feel you moving around and to see you on the ultrasound in a few weeks! We love you and can't wait to meet you! Love, mom and dad :)

16 weeks, freakout

Well, here we are another week closer to baby's arrival and what happens? Laura works herself into a frenzy last evening not only over every piddly detail about pregnancy (getting bigger, redefining myself as someone's mom, baby's health, eating habits, pain/issues, preping the house...etc), but also about how quickly the next 5 months are going to go and all the changes ahead (actually being a parent, to work or not to work, finances, being a mom...being responsible for this bundle of joy, etc.). Sigh.

What brought this on? I can only imagine hormones; after all I threw my own temper tantrum at not being able to find my tweezers and then almost started balling when I ran out of floss. All in a few minutes time.

Thank God for Anthony! I'm not sure what Id have done without him last night!

It was then time for bed and sleeping has proven to be an interesting task. I'm having issues with my low back/hips and there's not a whole that can be done about it. Just need to manage it. I'm getting adjusted again tomorrow. Thank goodness for small favors.

Well,other than that there has been some exciting news, I'm pretty sure I've felt baby's first movements! They've been random, quick and light flutterings...but I cannot rationalize them as anything else. :)

Time to head off, either time to sleep or time to get ready for work, we'll see which happens 1st this morning ;)

15 weeks tomorrow!

Well, it's been an exciting few weeks (mostly not baby related ;) ). Aside from having to get a new washer and dryer unit we've been trying to get the 2nd bedroom all cleaned out and painted. It'll get there and I'm looking forward to getting in painted.

I sucked it up this past Sunday and finally bought my 1st pair of maternity pants and a bellyband. The bellyband is fabulous! It allows me to keep using my pre-pregnancy pants for a while before I grow a bit more. Aside from the random heartburn that's popping up now and then I'm still feeling good. Sleepiness and nausea has past for the most part and now I'm just enjoying prep :).

Mom and I went out for lunch Sunday and then went to Target to get the bellyband and pants. It was nice to have time with her this weekend considering I've been down here all week w/ Pam. Laundry to do...thankfully we get our new washer/dryer delivered tomorrow!!!

I'm getting very excited about the next ultrasound (at 19 weeks). It's the coolest thing in the world to see baby barna moving around :). We've talked about not wanting to find out the sex of the baby but I'm so anxious I may have to bug Anthony to let us...it's just so exciting! Sigh.

Today Pam and I went to Woodfield (she took a day off work) and we had loads of fun just walking around, window shopping and eating all sorts of good food. We bought way too much Godiva and I bought a pair of prego jeans...they are so comfortable! 'Bout time!!! I'm enjoying the new found comfort of pregnancy pants. I'll probably have to buy a few more pairs in a few months but that'll be ok w/ me. We walked through a few baby clothing stores and saw the cutest stuff! Then we had Maggiano's for lunch, baby liked that! :)

I've been eating more beef lately b/c, well, it's just sounded/tasted so good for the last month or so...but yesterday I made a correlation to the heartburn and the beef. Must be all those years I spent not eating it and then all of a sudden eating it like every other day. So, I've done an experiment over the last few days, and about 30 mins after beef...heartburn begins. Oh well, baby's gonna have to do w/out it.

Well, tomorrow's going to be a good day, the husband comes home from Wisconsin tomorrow afternoon! I'm looking forward to see him after work! Off to relax the rest of the night and enjoy my new tea from Tevana...it's White Ayurvedic Chai, and it's FABULOUS!

Ciao for now!!!

13 weeks today!

Sooooooooo excited, for the last two days I haven't been overly sleepy. Wahooooooo!!! I'm ecstatic that my sleep patterns over the last week have normalized a bit to what I was used to and that I haven't needed to sleep every waking hour ;). I've gotten so acustomed to taking a nap on lunch and when I get home from work over the last 8 weeks that I don't know what to do with myself when I'm awake during those times. No, really, I'm sure I'll find housework or something to do.

Anyways, I have my monthly doctors appointment tomorrow and I'm sure that'll be nothing terribly exciting. Just a check up to make sure all is well in baby land! I've weanned myself off the B6 vitamins that they wanted me to take b/c a) I hate taking vitamins/medications to begin with, b) I think they helped me just long enough, c) w/out them I've been fine as long as I drink my water. The big problem was feeling nauseous when I drank water and that has subsided.

In other exciting news, Pam bought us the cutest 5 piece clothing set for newborns. I'll have to take a picture and post it on here tonight. After getting home at 10 last night I didn't feel like doing that :). It's currently hanging up in our closet b/c we're still working on getting the second room cleaned out. I'm going to get it painted this month...I have to. October is quickly filling up and then before we know it holiday's will be here and then next thing I know it'll be time for baby to arrive. It seems that the pregnancy itself is going slow while time itself just keeps on chugging along fast as ever. On a totally un-pregnancy related note, does it surprise anyone else how fast this year is going by???

Well, I'll be off to finish working the afternoon then home to get some things done. Today is my Friday seeing as I have off Friday :). It'll be nice to have the day to do laundry at the in-laws seeing as our dryer went out and it looks like we, in fact, will have to replace it. Sigh. Oh well, better now than after baby I guess! Off to the wonderful world of work.
