We're on the way baby!

Today I'm 8 weeks along. I went to my first baby doctor apt. This one isn't very exciting. They just poke at you and take blood and paperwork. Everything looks good though. I have the first ultrasound in two weeks. The fun one where you have to drink 32 oz of water and hold it for two hours so they can look at my uterus. NOT FUN! But then you get to see the baby after that. So, that's fun.
So, off to letting vino bambino grow into it's own little person!

Icky Tummy

Ok, I'm come to realize I have pregnancy sickness. I'm not throwing up sick, but I'm constantly nauseous. It's REALLY annoying. I can't find anything to eat that settles my tummy. Thank god I'm not throwing up, but I think I'd feel better if I did. Kinda that feeling the morning after you drank too much, without the headache. So, I don't remember this with Mary, but I realize I don't remember much with her anyway. BUT, maybe this means it's a boy. = ) Let's hope!!

need sleep

Ok, I'm going to complain for a moment. I NEED SLEEP. I forgot how rough the first few months of pregnancy was. Mary doesn't understand what 's going on and doesn't know she needs to give me a break. And then there's Kevin, who knows what it's like, but continues to snore in my face at night.
Ok, so we got a futon bed for the office. Not for HIM to go sleep on, but for me. So, I went in there last night, but he was snoring so loud I was still awake. So, at that point there was no hope for sleep.
I guess I'll make up for my sleep about 30 years from now. Isn't that how it goes?

We love bean and cheese burritos

I've been craving Mexican food, refried beans since I've been prego. But not out the the can ones. Anyway, the past two days I've stopped at Del Taco on the way home from walking to get a bean and cheese burrito. Well, I gave Mary a bite yesterday and she loved it. SO, today I got two burritos and gave her one. She wasn't quite able to bite the burrito but wanted to eat the insides. So, I pulled the insides out and put them on her tray and gave her a fork. She was all good then. So, we're both getting our fix of pinto beans. Well, she is Pinto anyway.

This baby is making me fat

OK, yes, I've only been pregnant for a little over 6 weeks now. BUT, I can't stop eating. It may be boredom eating, but I never seem full or satisfied with what I eat. I have no energy to do things so I watch TV or sit on the floor with Mary. But then there are food commercials. And I want it ALL, OK, most of it. I didn't have any real cravings with Mary. I did like my hot fudge sundaes from McDonald's with her. I've been really wanting some real Mexican food, re fried beans specifically, but have not gotten any yet. So I'm making pork burritos tonight with canned re friend beans. Canned is better than none, right?! Let's hope. Then I saw a commercial for guacamole and then I wanted that. If I was really mean I'd make Kevin stop at the store on his way home and get some, but I won't. I really don't want to gain too much weight int he pregnancy. Really trying, but I'm eating for two. OK, I don't want to use that excuse. But, I always have been 'chunky' and always will be. I will just deal.

Moms Just Want To Have Fun!

These are some of my girls, my walking girls. They help me keep my sanity with motherhood and life. We belong to Stroller Strides, a moms walking group. We walk each morning and work out together. Great way to get outa the house and be with others who have kids. The best part is to be around others who you don't have to talk kid talk to.
So, we try to have a mom's night once a month w/out the kids. Great way to relax and have some fun. Yesterday we met at the mall for some shopping at Victoria Secrets. Since my boobs will be changing w/in the next 8 months I did not buy a bra. I bought some eye liner to make myself feel pretty. Then we were off to Sicily's for dinner. Well, they drank while I had a Shirley Temple. It was one darn good drink, NOT! But when I can drink again, we're going out drinking. Until then they just have to deal with pregnant me. I don't think I'm that bad. Kevin may not agree. OH WELL!

Over A Week Late

Well, we started "trying" to get prego last month. We didn't think it happened. So, a day before we left for Mexico I took a pregnancy test. It said NO, so I went and had some fun. I was supposed to get my monthly cycle at that time. Well, it never came. So, we came home on Sunday and I had Kevin stop at Walmart on the way home to buy a test. Took the test that night. Sure enough, I'm pregnant.
So, I went to the doc today to make it official. I'm 5 weeks along and due December 11th. Hopefully it will be on time so we don't have a xmas baby. I was trying to prevent that, but we're too fertile people.
So, Mary will be a big sister by the end of the year. Will she have a little brother or a sister?????
