8 weeks pregnant

8 weeks pregnant today. Body doesn't look much different (except my butt looks a little bigger... embarressing) But it's still fun to document tummy pics and see it grow.

I had my first ob/gyn appt today. I met with the nurse today for a lovely 1 1/2 hour appt! UGGG. They weighed me, checked my blood pressure, gave me a physical exam, drew blood and asked endless questions. There isn't much you can tell from one of these appts other than "everything looks great and seems to be on track" as the nurse so eloquently put it. She mentioned that it's pretty rare to loose a baby after seeing such a healthy heart beat, but like I said before, I will feel more convinced and reassured in one and a half weeks.

Please Lord, watch over my baby. I want to meet this miracle!!! Please allow this baby to grow healthy, and allow this pregnancy to be boring and uneventful :) I thank you that you are in control and I trust you with my little one. I love you Lord, and thank you for this incredible blessing.
Amen.

7 weeks pregnant

7 weeks pregnant today and symptoms are pretty much the same. Boobs keep getting bigger and bigger.... I hope they stop soon! Nausea is starting up though, I can say I've never experienced that before. I haven't thrown up yet, I just constantly feel like I'm on the verge though. Anything I eat makes me feel sick afterwards. Even thinking about food makes me sick... about the only thing that doesn't is fresh fruit. mmmm. strawberries, apples, and oranges. Even water is making me gag.

One more week until i reach Adriel's benchmark. I won't have an u/s until 9.3 weeks so I won't know 100% that every is ok until then, but I'm trying to have faith! So please continue to pray for my sweet little peanut. I'm so looking forward to meeting this little one, holding, and caring for him or her.

Baby's 1st ultrasound!!!!!

Today was perfect, THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!! I just cannot stop praising him!! We went in, and right away they found the baby and the heart beat :) The rate was 129 bpm and baby was measuring right on schedule at 6 weeks 3 days!!!!!!

6 weeks pregnant today!

WOOHOO! Today I am 6 weeks pregnant, I'm actually suprised by how quickley the time is going by! 3 days until my ultrasound. I will be so incredibly thrilled if everything goes just perfectly. All I want to hear is, "everything looks great!" Oh Lord, how wonderful that would be!!!

I'm doing my best not to worry or get too anxious. I'm just trying to believe that this pregnancy is normal and healthy. I want so badly to meet this little one. I want so badly to get his/her room prepared for their home coming. I want SO BADLY to be a mommy!!!!

Monday cannot come soon enough!!! I can't wait to see my baby, and Lord willing, rejoice in a healthy heart beat!!!!

Go ahead sciatic nerve, pinch all you want cuz i don't care! i got's me a blessing!!!

Oh, the blessings of pregnancy symptoms!!! Honestly, i really do think they are blessings lol, even the painful ones like my sciatic nerve. It can be paralyzing at times, but, oh well, It's SO WORTH IT!!!! Thank you LORD for the pain in my butt!!! Thank you LORD for the huge sore boobs lol!! And thank you for waking me up every 2 hours with a trip to the potty, just to remind me that I've been blessed with a miracle. Thank you for the little cramps and stretching in my uterus that tells me my baby is growing!! Thank you for the exhaustion you give me, reminding me to rest, so my baby can develop properly! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!

5 weeks pregnant!

Well tomarow I will be five weeks pregnant! woop woop! Grow baby GROW!!!
I wish I could say that I'm blissfully happy without a care in the world, but the truth is that I am still struggling with the fear of loosing my new baby. Each day this child becomes more and more important to me. Each day I allow myself to dream a little more of what this child may be like... and it scares me.

Lord, please take away my fear! Please wrap your loving and protective arms around my child and help him or her to grow stronger and healthier everyday. Please allow each body part to develop just as you intend.
I won't let satan stear me towards fear anymore. You are in control, and my child's life is in your hands... Amen.

*sigh* ok, I feel much better. What would I do without my Lord?? and what would I do without my MOM? LOL I feel like I call her 24/7. She has been my number 1 cheerleader, my support, my best friend... I owe SO much to my mom!!! She is always compassionate, she knows what I need to hear, ug, I just love her so much!

now i'm crying... what is up with my emotions??? Also, I REALLY want some fried chicken, seriously!!!
