I just want to give a shout out to Wade. He always treats me like a princess and tells me I'm beautiful no matter how grungy I think I look. He does so much for me even when I'm grouchy. I married a really good one and I'm so glad we are stuck together forever.
I noticed an obvious change in myself now that I'm pregnant (not physically, yet, but in point of view). During the year I was seriously wanting this baby more than anything, I would walk through Target and think "oh no... When I'm pregnant I will buy all these baby things and we will be broke!" The cute shoes and clothes.. I loved it all and I had to have them. I can honestly say that within the 6 weeks I've known I was prego I have not bought a single thing. I went to Target today and walked by the baby clothes and thought that, now, all I want is this baby and none of that other stuff matters. Another example, names. Yes I went crazy and wrote down every amazing name I could think of--I thought that was the most important thing. However once we found out we were going to be a mom and a dad, Wade looked at the list and picked a boy name and a girl name (both of which have been on my "list" since middle school..) and I didn't even care! And I thought that would be the hardest decision I ever had to make.
So, I got sick AGAIN. That seriously awful cold came back right after my last post and might possibly be gone tomorrow. I had two horrible days last week, Saturday and Sunday. I felt sick to my stomach and I couldn't breathe, taste anything, or smell and I wanted to kill someone. Those were the first days I felt like throwing up. Something had to be done because I HAD to get better asap because I don't do well with sickness. I purchased a saline nasal spray that must have come from heaven because I was able to breathe, taste, and smell again after not being able to for days. No, I didn't take medicine because I wasn't sure what to take, (still.. my OB office did not return my call) but if you ever get sick with a baby growing inside of you I recommend the saline nasal spray, menthol cough drops, and hot herbal tea with honey and lemon.
I realized soon, after feeling sick those two days, that nighttime was the worst. About a month ago I started taking my prenatal pill at night because it gave me serious heartburn when I took it one morning and I thought, never again! All of a sudden the huge pill would not go down my throat and I felt super sick so the other day I switched to the gummy chewable vitamins. I do not recommend Nature Made Prenatal Multi + DHA. The chewable vitamins do not have any iron in them, but my OB said that I did not need to take anything extra--just the prenatal because all my levels looked great. I'll double check with her on Friday at my 3rd appointment.
Yesterday I ran another 3.5 miles, this time with my dad at the beach where we do our marathon training. I loved it! I was super slow, like 13 mins a mile, because I am still trying to listen to my body and figure out if I can speed up or if I need to slow down. So far my body has told me nothing, except that if I can't breathe when I'm sitting, I won't be able to breathe AT ALL while I'm running. I haven't experienced any cramping or any tightness--I hardly feel pregnant.
current weight: 160
cravings: nothing really just water. I drink 80-120 ounces a day.
symptoms: constantly out of breath, prone to colds, SLEEPY like always. My app tells me that once I make this placenta I will have more energy.. Only 3 more weeks! Also, I am a little upset that I have yet to have vivid dreams.. which might be due to my dreams always being pretty vivid.. But we'll see.
