4 days and counting

I'm sure many of you are sick and tired of hearing about my pregnancy at this point, so I'll just make this quick. I've made it 4 whole days in a row without throwing up! I don't feel "normal" yet but not running to the bathroom all the time is a definite bonus!

Pregnancy

Since I haven't been to the doctor yet, I know I need to get on that, I've been doing some research on the Internet to find my due date. According to this site I'm due on Aug 3rd and am about 10 weeks along. That means I'm almost through my first trimester! Hopefully I'll get over this morning sickness that I've been dealing with for the last 5 weeks soon! I don't know how much longer I can take this. More importantly I don't know how much longer my poor husband can take it! He's been wonderful helping out and picking up my slack as much as possible, but with school starting he just can't do it all. Honestly he shouldn't have to! I'm so thankful for him! Also according to the Chinese calender we're having another girl. Tony and I think it's a boy. We'll just have to wait another 10-12 weeks to find out for sure. I'm definitely showing more quickly with this one. People who don't know I'm pregnant probably just think I've got a fat belly, but those who know can defiantly seen my baby belly. I think I may have to get out my maternity cloths soon. Not that I can't make some of my other cloths work, I just need the comfort of elastic waistbands.

Moving

Originally the plan was pack all of our belongings on Monday the 27th and leave for Rexburg the 28th. But upon checking weather reports we packed in a whirlwind and left Monday night. We stayed in Pocatello Monday night with Tony's aunt Carol. Tuesday morning we left for Rexburg and arrived in town around 10:00 in the morning. Once we inspected our apartment and worked out some kinks we started moving our things into our 800 sq. ft. apartment. Honestly Tony, Perry, and my cousin's husband did most of the work. But by around 4 in the afternoon we had everything inside the apartment. I'm sure imagining everything put in it's place with curtains hung and decorations gracing the walls...well don't. By my saying everything was inside the apartment means that everything we own was stacked in piles about the apartment will paths leading to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. By that night we were all so tired and hungry we went out to eat and soaked in a hot tub at the hotel Perry and Alice stayed in. We then came home to and crashed into bed. Yesterday we spent the day unpacking. Yet again Tony did most of the work because I'm still dealing with morning sickness. I did what I could between running to the bathroom to throw up. Today will be another day filled with unpacking and hopefully well get mostly everything put in it's place. I hope that I'll feel well enough to be of some use today. The last two days here in Rexburg have been filled with cold, wind and snow. We just about froze our butts off last night when we went to the store. Hopefully we'll get used to the bitter cold weather sooner rather than later. Well I have boxes and a husband calling my name. More updates and pictures to follow.

Morning Sickness

We've known for a few weeks now that we're expecting again and the morning sickness has come on full force! Last week wasn't so bad, but the last few days have been awful. Yesterday I threw up twice and spent most of the day on the couch. I wasn't able to go to work because I was so weak. Thankfully I have my mom to help me. She's been wonderful helping with the kids and doing most of the cooking. I don't know how I'm going to make it through without her once we move which is in less than two weeks. Yesterday morning as I was praying to the porcelain gods I thought to myself, "I am never doing this again!" Honestly I may change my mind if I ever start feeling better, but at this point I'm questioning my sanity when deciding to have another child. Why do I always forget how awful pregnancy can be until I'm going through it again? For me morning sickness isn't just in the morning, it's all day everyday for a least 6 weeks! The only relief I get is when I'm sleeping, so I do a lot of it.

Morning Sickness

Well we've know that we're expecting for less than a week and I'm already feeling the effects. I'm very tired and have that icky feeling in my stomach most of the day. So far I've been able to keep it under control and have managed to not go running to the bathroom yet. Sunday I was craving pizza horribly! So for lunch on Monday I stopped off at Little Ceasers for a pizza and it was wonderful! I ate 3 pieces and here at 10:00 in the morning on Tuesday I'm having another piece, and it's the best thing ever! I'm starting to see a pattern here and may have to keep and good stock of pizza in the house for the next 8 months.

Baby #3

We found out this week that I'm expecting again. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Excited to have a sweet little baby around the house again and nervous because of the upcoming changes and praying for a way to provide for our growing family. According to my calculations, via the Internet, my due date will be August 3, 2011. Once we move I'll find a doctor/midwife and find out for sure. So far no major sickness. I'm trying to stay in front of that and starting to eat as much as I can right now. We'll see if it works.
