Being called Mommy

Alright, this whole being called Mommy thing is a little scary. There are some people at work that do it and it is really creeping me out. I know that I will eventually have to get used to it, but right now I don't really care for it. When the July gets closer then  I think I will have a better feeling about it, but right now not so much.


Also, people touching my belly already is bothering me as well. This belongs to me and no one else has a right to touch my belly without asking me. I have one friend that has been doing it since day one and I think it is cute but not someone who I barely even know. My belly is growing but is not that big yet so BACK OFF!!!!!!! Oh boy and I will let you know if you cross the line!!!

Patience is a virtue (that I seem to have lost)

Since being pregnant,  I have realized how much of my patience I have lost. I don't know where it went but I hope to get it back soon. The times where I seem to have most of my issues is while driving. I tend to yell a lot and pop up a certain finger very quickly. Yesterday, for example, I was driving to work and there were two cars in front of me. The leader was doing 30 mph where it was 40 mph and also when the speed went up to 55 mph he was doing 45 mph. I was so heated and was yelling at the guy in front of me (whose fault it was not). When I got an opportunity, I got in the other lane and sped around the leader. In doing so I got caught at a red light with him on my left. I lost it and started yelling and shaking my fist at him through the window. He paid me no mind. I sped off when the light turned green.

I also have lost some patience with my students which upsets me. I have worked so hard on being patient with them I do not want to loose that quality. I know that it has become a problem and I will continue to work on it getting better.

Has any one else experienced this while pregnant? If so, how did you deal with it?

Morning (ALL DAY) sickness

OMG!!! The people who have been telling me that my morning sickness will be better once I hit second trimester, LIED!!!!!! Of course for me it can't be easy.

When I first found out I was pregnant, I did not feel good. I was nauseous and vomiting. I went to the doctors and got a prescription. I felt much better after starting the medication. My best meal I had was on Christmas day (all I have to say is scalloped potatoes...YUM)! I have gotten my prescription filled twice and the third time my insurance thought it would be the same to give me the generic brand...big mistake!! I gag every time I take it. I have also stopped taking my prenatal vitamins because they made me sick last week. I have been really sick now since last week.

Yesterday, I picked up the pregnancy drops and they didn't really do much today. What has been working is Jolly Ranchers and that is keeping everything at bay. I just want to eat regularly again. When will the madness end...

Registering

My big question is, "When is it time to register?" I honestly can't wait to register. When Fred & I got married, I loved running around the store with the scan gun just picking fun and unnecessary items (that we both swore we needed to have).

I can't wait to go into Babies R Us and register. I have about 18 different bedding sets picked out. The one we decide on will predict what we pick for the swing, pack & play, stroller/carseat, etc. I like the idea of doing sea animals especially turtles. They seem to be asexual (which is great because we are not finding out what we are having). I am so excited!!!!!

Fred got me into this!

Here it goes...

Fred came home the other night and told me he started a blog for our baby. I was touched (an emotional mess to say the least) and I thought to myself, I would like to do that as well. The reason for my blog is for advice, emotional support, hearing that what I am going through is normal, and also my hopes, dreams, and wishes for the wee little one.

How can you love someone so much without even meeting them? Or that someone only being the size of a peach? I love this baby with all that I am and all that I live for every day. It is unthinkable how much more that love will grow.

I went to the Dr's today for a checkup and my mother came with me. It was the first time I had met the doctor. I can honestly say that I love him and feel we are in very capable hands. He set the tone very casual and comfortable (which any expecting mother needs). My mother and I heard the heartbeat today. It was very strong and loud. My mother cried and I had a small tear as well. It all seems real now that I am pregnant. There is a little something growing inside of me. I can't wait to feel it moving around!!
