For most women morning sickness ends with the first trimester. Honestly, this thought is was kept me going on all of my bad days and there have been a lot! The past two weeks I have had less and less bad days, but the days that where bad where plagued with nausea that left me curled up in a ball. I was pretty excited with the lessening amount of bad days and it definitely makes work easier. In fact the past three days I was pretty much nausea free! Until today...
In the morning I always set the alarm a half an hour before we need to get up. That way we can snooze it a few times and cuddle. Today I had to get up between alarms because I was feeling so nauseous. I got up and drank some water. Started feeling better so I laid back down. Last alarm went off and I quickly woke Derek up because I was feeling sick again. So I went up stairs and used the bathroom and then went and sat on the couch and I was about to drink some Gatorade when that feeling came. I closed my eyes and tried to will the feeling away. This did not work...sprint to the bathroom and my body did what it wanted to. It was horrible! My stomach emptied but it didn't stop! Ugh! Truly terrible!
I seriously thought that I was done with the vomiting for this pregnancy, but I guess the first trimester wanted to go out with a bang!
My stomach is still horribly unsettled and if I vomit again today I am going to be cranky all day.

Salt and Body Changes
Dizzy Spells = Low Blood Pressure = Eating More Salty Foods = Being Thirsty = Having to Drink More Water = Having to Pee Even More!! Yeah it's super fun peeing every 30 minutes or more! lol
Besides that my morning sickness has lessened! The days I get it are still horrible, but it's less days in a week that I'm sick!
Oh and my belly is starting to get so big! It's wonderful! Everyone is touching it already, which I am really not used to. I love the growing belly though! Baby loves the space!
Also, I have been having some leg tension, so I have been doing a lot of stretches! Oh and I have gotten a few moments of pelvic pain!! It just hits me randomly!
I have been craving chocolate like crazy! I bought so much candy today! Other then that I really haven't had any steady food cravings. Oh and I'm pretty tired all the time and then suddenly BAM random energy burst!
Okay, there was more I wanted to write, but flat out I'm too tired to remember! Maybe tomorrow I will remember!

Wednesday- September 12th, 2012
Today started off feeling sick. I ate breakfast but I still felt sick. I knew I needed to take my prenatal pill and Derek was kind enough to get my pill, a yogurt, and a snack for me. He's such a good husband! I still wasn't feeling well, the nausea was bad and I was a bit tired. I drank some Gatorade and started feeling less tired. Still the day was kind of blah then Derek said it was time to go get lunch and stop by Walmart and get me some snacks for work.
Derek asked me where I wanted to go for lunch, but unfortunately I had no appetite due to the nausea. Derek picked Arby's. I ordered a chicken sandwich that had bacon, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard sauce. Derek got a medium meal so we could share the fries. I got about half way through the sandwich and I just couldn't stomach any more so I stopped. I mean I could have pushed myself but I didn't think the restaurant full of people would want to see me vomit! So i just focused on the fries because my body loves salty foods! Then it was off to Walmart where just walking around the store made me feel tired. So we where quick with collecting my salty snacks and left. I brought Gatorade with me in the car so I drink some right away.
My stomach kept feeling weird today, so I tried to nap but I couldn't fall asleep because my ear was hurting. So far I have been resting, eating plenty (including salty food), and drinking plenty (including Gatorade). Currently, watching X-files and staying calm and hopeful for my health to improve.

Tuesday- September 11th, 2012
For the past week or so my body was acting weird. It started with one symptom and then new ones kept popping up, until it was a cycle of symptoms.
-Shortness of breath
-Nasty headache
-Head feeling like it was on fire
-Whole body feeling hot
-Feeling lightheaded and dizzy
On this day I was feeling very off. Spacey, drowsy, and like there wasn't enough oxygen in the air. I was all ready for work and leaving when my vision went blurry and I started to fall. Derek was there to brace me and set me on the bench. My face was pale and my cheeks where red. I just started crying and yelling at him. He said he needed to call the OB, I was just crying and blabbing on and on about him not noticing what was wrong with me and all this other stuff. Finally I calmed down a bit, but demanded to Derek that I call work first to let them know I wasn't going to make it in. When I called work I started crying while talking to them, I was so scared. I got off the phone and just kept crying to Derek. Finally, he calmed me down enough to call the OB. My voice was still quivering on the phone with the nurse. She told me that if I couldn't catch my breath I needed to call 911. I was doing okay, and figured as long as I wasn't moving I would be able to breathe okay.
My appointment was scheduled for 2:30. I was very scared. I sent out a text message to some close family and friends reading "Pray for me. I'm having dizziness and shortness of breath. I'm missing work today and going to the OB at 2:30."
I stayed put on the couch waiting for time to pass. I was cold, I had a sweater and blanket. I drifted in and out of sleep until it was time to leave for the appointment. I was still feeling off, that weird lethargic feeling. The front desk lady had a lot of care in her voice as she told me "Go ahead and have a seat hun" The waiting didn't seem too long but it was like I couldn't focus on anything. A nurse, not the usual one, came out and got myself and Derek. She weighed me, I had gained another pound. Then to the room where my blood pressure, pulse, and temperature where taken. The nurse didn't really discuss the results of the tests, but she did say that the symptoms I had sounded like a blood pressure issue. She left and we could hear voices in the distance, hers and the doctors. Not loud enough to make out what they where saying.
The doctor came in and ask me about my symptoms, I explained to her the cycle I was having. She said that my blood pressure was a bit low. Not dangerously low, but lower than it was the past two times I was in. All of the symptoms she said came from the low blood pressure. Also, that being on my feet a lot did not help the matter. The OB told me I need to eat more, eat salty foods, drink more Gatorade, and try to take more breaks to sit down.
I am very thankful that it's low blood pressure and not high blood pressure. However, it is very hard to eat more! I thought i was eating plenty, I've been eating about 6 times a day. Basically, I need to be constantly snacking. The hardest part is I usually don't feel hungry, I am forcing myself to eat most of the time. Then a lot of times when I start eating something (unless it's super salty) I get half way through it and then start feeling nauseous. It's a constant struggle, but I am doing my best. I work again tomorrow, just a short shift so it shouldn't be an issue. I am hoping if I eat more and take more frequent breaks at work I will do fine. Worse comes to worse I just won't be able to work super long shifts at work.
Derek and I where also blessed yesterday, we where able to hear our baby's heartbeat. We got to hear it twice, in two very short blips. The OB couldn't get the heartbeat on the monitor very well because the baby wouldn't stay still long enough! The moment was fantastic and will forever stay in my heart! Oh little baby how much we love you and are looking forward for the day when you decide to enter the world!!

What Goes Down Doesn't Always Stay Down
It is well known that with morning sickness there is a chance of vomiting. No, pregnant woman hopes for vomiting with their morning sickness. I was hoping for mild morning sickness with no nausea, but you've got to expect the worse, just in case.
For weeks I had on and off nausea, some days where really bad, some days almost none at all. I felt very proud of myself because I had held myself together. As the days went on the nausea got worse and worse. There had been a few moments where I had to completely stop moving, close my eyes, and just breathe slowly and have someone get me some water. But still no vomiting yet...
Then on September 2nd Derek and I sat down for breakfast, I had a blueberry poptart and was eating it watching the news. I got about half way through, took another bite, and then the nausea hit full force. I had to clench my jaw (with poptart still in my mouth) and close my eyes. I was trying to focus on my breathing but that heaving feeling started up. I tried to just breathe and calm down, but it kept happening. At that moment Derek looked over at me and said, "Please don't throw up." I handed him my plate and dashed to the bathroom. As soon as I knelt down I lost it! Vomiting is one of the most wretched things a body can do!
While throwing up Derek came to the door, I asked him if he could bring me some water. His smart response was "There's water right in front of you!" Oh that husband of mind! I didn't find it funny at the time but now that the moment has past it is kind of funny.
I am pretty sure that it was just the artificial fruit flavoring that caused me to become ill. My older sister had that issue when she was pregnant.
About a week later I got sick again. This time I had eaten some multi-grain Cheerio's. I ate them because I was trying to be healthy for the morning and look how that turned out!!
The first time I felt pretty much fine after I stopped vomiting, but the second time I felt sick all day. It was a rough, long day.
I am honestly fine with this nausea and the vomiting, as long as we get a healthy baby to love and raise.

The morning before my ultrasound was filled with excitement and worry. I just wanted to be able to get a picture of our baby! I just wanted to SEE my baby! There was always a thought in my mind that we wouldn't be able to get an image of the baby and then it would be more waiting!
When we got to the office we stood as patiently in line as we could, got checked in, and waited in the fitting room. The wait was long and every time a nurse came out I expected to hear my name called, but nope! Finally we heard "Christina" and my waiting was done! Derek still had to stay in the waiting room so the nurse could take come pictures. The nurse and I went into the room and first she tried the tummy ultrasound and it almost picked up an image of the baby, but the baby was still a touch too small. So to the bathroom and then another ultrasound, the pictures where coming in clear and fantastic!!! I could have gazed forever at my little squibbly baby! The nurse went out to get Derek, they both came back in and the ultrasound was started up again. Oh the joy on both of our faces when our wiggly baby appeared on the screen! It was incredible! A true gift from God!! Words could not do justice to the feels Derek and I felt as we watched our little baby move around for the first time! The nurse printed out some pictures for us and then it was time to get cleaned up and go.
As soon as we left the doctors office I snapped a picture with my phone of the ultrasound and sent it to Derek's mom. Then we went home and showed my parents and then I started sending the picture to a ton of people, family and close friends. I just wanted everyone to know how cute our baby is all posing for the picture! The baby's one arm was bent and chilling up by the head and the other was waving! Not even born yet and still my baby's the cutest lil thing!

I was very anxious for this day! My second OB appointment! I knew that at this appointment I would be scheduled for another ultrasound and I had my fingers crossed that we would be able to get an image of the baby!
I did a count down to this appointment, Derek didn't find it very amusing. He is always calm, cool, and collective. I get the anxious buzz very easily and it bubbles out of me "8 more days until the OB" etc. So when the day finally arrived I was ready to bolt out the door!
At the doctors we where the only people in the waiting room, but it felt like we where waiting forever. Finally, the nurse came in and we headed back. I was weighed and I gained 5 lbs! Happy, growing babies will do that to you! Then back into the room for a blood pressure test and questions about any new symptoms. The nurse left and I fidgeted until the doctor came in. My OB, Mrs. Andrews, asked about how I was feeling and if I was eating regularly, drinking plenty of water. It was a brief, pleasant chat and then she sent me to the front desk to schedule an ultrasound! Getting the ultrasound scheduled took longer than normal because the computers where acting up at my OB so the front desk lady had to call in the appointment. Thankfully, they where able to get me an appointment the following day. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get in until Monday. Gotta be thankful for life's little blessings!

Morning Sickness
What I would like to know is in all of these years why has the term 'morning sickness' never had a name change? In case you didn't know, 'morning' sickness can hit you at any time of the day or night. Mine has not been mild to say the least. I get nauseous if I'm hungry, thirst, need to go to the bathroom, and at random moments for no reason! The nausea was so bad sometimes I couldn't move off the couch for hours.
Now, ginger does help...sometimes! I have tried ginger ale, which really didn't help much for me. Ginger muffins and ginger snaps work well, plus if I am feeling nauseous from hunger they solve that problem as well! I bought ginger hard candies, but the taste is not close to 'candy' at all. They where so strong that the taste was unbearable. I didn't know what to do because the candies helped but I couldn't even finish half of one! I bought a big bag of them because they where cheap. Then I had the brilliant idea to make tea and dissolve the ginger candy into the tea. Derek and I had done this before with cough drops during cold season. It was more tolerable and worked very well to calm the oddly named 'morning sickness'

So today is = the big announcement day! We wanted to wait until ultrasound conferment before making the big announcement! We had decided that whenever we did become pregnant that the first person we would tell would be Derek's mom, Sandy, because it is her first grandchild! So the plan was set! We would call her and tell her that I had a work related question for her and that I was going to send her an email that I needed her to look over. However, instead of being a work email it was a picture of my first positive pregnancy test! She totally fell for it and when she checked her email no words could describe her excitement! I swore her to secrecy until we could tell my family.
To tell my family we convinced my older sister, Tonya, and her family to come over to our parents house for a visit. While everyone was there we gave my mom and dad, Elizabeth and Larry, a belated anniversary card. Inside of it I hand wrote "Sorry, we forgot about your anniversary. Your present will be here in about 9 months!" Mom almost cried! My 4 year old nephew, Sam, shouted "You're gonna have a baby?!?" It was too cute!
Then i got on the phone to call the rest of our relatives to inform them of the good news. Also, I gave Derek's mom permission to post about her 'grandma' status. Then a bunch more phone calls and text messages to friends. The air was abuzz with congratulations and well wishes for myself and Derek!

The weekend crept by. All I could think was 'Is it Monday yet?' finally
the day came! Derek and I where awake and out of the house in a hurried
excitement! There was a bit of a wait and I could hardly sit still! Then
the nurse came and said that first only I could come into the room;
Derek would have to stay in the waiting room. This made me a bit
nervous. But the nurse reassured me that he could join me after she took
a few ultrasound pictures for the doctor. The lil baby was too small to see on this ultrasound but the nurse was able to show us the gestational sac and the amniotic sac. It was all very exciting because the ultrasound 100% confirmed that you where on your way lil baby!
Thursday- August 2nd, 2012
I expecting just a blood test at the Thursday doctors appointment at the
regular doctor and then to be referred to an OB. However the day went a
little differently. Derek and I arrived at the office to find out that I
had to redo a bunch of paperwork because while living in Wisconsin I
fell out of the system. Then when they finally called my name they
wanted to do a pee test. I was very confused because I had already taken
two of my own tests. But it was explained that the test that they do at
the doctors office was more advanced.
After the pee test I thought that the regular doctors would do a blood test as well. Instead it was just 'congrats! Now go pick an OB!'
Flustered and excited, we headed home and called an OB. We where very fortunate to be able to get an appointment that same day.
At the OB I had another pee test! Luckily being pregnant, I haven't had any shortages of pee!! And then a blood test where I did my best to stay calm because I know that my emotions affect you, my little baby. Then we went into a room and got to chat with the OB. She had much information for us and I did my best to pay attention but my head was still floating in the clouds! Finally she did a brief exam to make sure everything was okay for me and you! Everything was good and she guessed that I was about 4-6 weeks along and she said my due date would be around April 7th. An ultra sound was scheduled to try and determine the exact due date.
Derek and I decided that we would wait until after the ultrasound to share the big news!

As soon as the doctors office opened I called and set up an appointment
for Thursday, first thing in the morning. I was very anxious because I
didn't want to get my hopes up until the doctor confirmed the pregnancy.
The week went by at a snails pace and then finally Thursday had
arrived!
Sunday- July 29th, 2012
I could hardly sleep because I knew first thing Sunday morning I was
going to take a second pregnancy test. So when the alarm went off I
quickly shook Derek awake and told him that I was going upstairs to take
the second test. I rushed up the stairs and took the test and...it was
positive again!! I informed Derek and we both decided that first thing
Monday we would call the doctor.
Saturday- July 28th, 2012
I found out today about you, little baby. You actually took me and daddy
by surprise! See, most women take a pregnancy test because their period
is late. Mine wasn't late yet. I took one because I was planning on
giving blood and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't about to give blood
while pregnant. I 100% did not expect to be pregnant. Then I looked
done at the window of the test and...TWO LINES! At first I didn't
believe it, I thought I was seeing things! So I took a picture of it to
show Derek. I asked him, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" He replied in
awe, "yes"
I was over-joyed but I also wanted to make sure that it wasn't just a faulty test. So we kept quiet and waited.
