This baby is sucking the life out of me..

I am TIRED all the time.. I am normally in bed by 7:30-8:00 p.m. now... I fell like a 90+ year old woman. I keep reading that its normal to be extremely tired during the first trimester of pregnancy, but it doesn't feel normal to me.. I feel like I'm sleeping my life away.

Don't get my wrong I am super excited and feel very blessed that we are expecting a child. I just wish I didn't feel like I am going to fall asleep all the time.. Like today, at work.. I had a few minutes of down time, and the next thing I know 20 minutes had had gone by... I fell asleep at work .... AHHHHHHHHH !!!!! Glad my boss wasn't here for that minor mistake.

P.S. Prenatal vitamins SUCK !!! I could go on and on about how bad they SUCK, but I'm sure if you have been pregnant, you have taking them..

P.S.S. We go see the doc Thursday for our FIRST APPOINTMENT !!

OBGYN

I have had the same OBGYN since high school.. I love her, she is AWESOME. She is also the OBGYN that delivered my sister's two kids. However, She is no longer my OBGYN.

Here are some of the reasons.. ( you might think I'm being too picky)
1. Her staff members are incredible RUDE.. It is very uncalled for. I called a few times to ask some very important questions (well at least they were important to ME) and was basically called an IDIOT... Not cool by me at all.
2. It was going to cost me almost $1500 more to have my baby using her.
3. I ALWAYS have to wait over an hour to be seen at her office. The last time I went in, I was there for 3 1/2 hours...

There are more reasons, but these are the top 3

Morning sickness VS Heartburn

Morning sickness - I can say I have a few episodes of morning sickness (I'm not sure it was morning sickness)

Episode one
75 mph + milk + peanut butter crackers = Me throwing up on the side of the interstate... Milk is not suppose to come out of your nose.. When it does it hurts..
Episode two
just got home from a 16 hour car ride to/from Missouri in 1 1/2 days. I ended up getting sick  and spent all weekend in bed.
I think its motion sickness... but who knows..

Heartburn - I get it after almost every time I eat.. Sometimes I wake up at night and it feels like my chest is on fire... Very uncomfortable and I can not go back to sleep without propping 3-4 pillows behind my back... If you have not ever had to sleep like this, IT SUCKS !!!!

I must say, after hearing some of my friends stories, I will take heartburn over morning sickness any day..

Water - makes me want to vomit

If I drink anymore water.... I might POP.. Before I got pregnant I WAS NOT a water drinker.. I would drink 1 bottle of water a week, if that.. It was all soda for me.. I am thankful my kidney's still work.. So after finding out I was pregnant, I began to drink water.. 4-5 16.9 FL OZ bottles a day... I am sure by body is loving me now.. I still have a soda or two, but make sure I drink extra water when I do..

Anyways, Back to the whole I might explode thing... I went on a quick trip to Missouri last Thursday and Friday, and lets just say I slacked in the drink-lots-of-water-for-your-baby-until-you-pop department.. By Saturday the baby was screaming for water.. I went into drink-lots-of-water-for-your-baby-until-you-pop mood... OVERTIME !!! I have never peed so much in my entire life (sorry if that's too much info)... I will say my side isn't hurting and I am not cramping...

LESSON LEARNED... until next time..

P.S.
We added a few boy names to our list .

My pick
Mason
Logan - Husband is 50/50
Brayden -  Husband said NO
His pick
Drake - I am 50/50

Picking out names

It might be too early to start picking out names, but I think it's fun and wanted to start discussing names right away... My excitement was short lived when I gave my husband the list of names I came up with...

BOYS NAME'S (I picked)
Lucas
Zander
Cayden
Bryson
Zane
Zayden
Cade
Grayson
Easton
Keagen
Jaxon
Corbin
** My husband said NO to all the ones that are crossed out... He still hasn't giving me any suggestions for a boys name

GIRL NAME'S ( I picked)
Avery
Addyson
Harper
Chloe
Sofie
Maci
Raegan
** My husband didn't like any of the girl names....

He did suggest two girl names
Jessica
Aubrey
I said NO to Jessica.. I do like Aubrey..

For a girl the middle name will probable be Kaymarie - Kay is my mom's middle name and Marie is my mother-in-law's middle name.. Maire is also my middle name

This is an ongoing debate... We might have the kid before we agree on a  name.

WE'RE EXPECTING !!!!

Yes I took 3 test.. The bottom one is the first one I took (just a cheapo from Wal Mart).. Waiting for an answer, while staring at the pee stick, seemed to take FOREVER... When it came up positive I ran into the computer room and told my husband. At first he was speechless, then shocked, then excited.. I was jumping-with-joy!! I called my friend, Codie, and told her I wanted to we needed to go get another test.. I just couldn't believe that the first one was right..

Long story short ... 2 more positive test = PREGNANT !!!!

I wanted to keep the pee sticks.. My husband thought I was being weird and said that it was disgusting.. I didn't end up keeping them, after 2 days the pregnant and pink lines went away.
