Total weight gain/loss: 1 pound

Stretch marks: none

Sleep: I sleep for the most part, but I normally wake up about 5 times through out the night.

Best moment of the week: getting an iPhone...this has nothing to do with the baby, but I am very happy about it and right now there isn't much going on with the babe!

Movement: none yet!

Food craving: chocolate and sometimes I see something and then I think. . .I have to have that right now!

What I am looking forward to: learning the sex of the baby and starting to get things for the baby!

Weekly wisdom: Being patient! I want to start showing. I want to know what we are having. I want to start buying things, but I need to just be patient. Everything will happen in time!

BeBands

So today I wore the beband for the first time and let me just tell you. . .I HATE IT! It would not stay up and it would not stay over my pants. It was driving me crazy all day. If I pulled it up over my stomach, I would itch. And if I pulled it down over my waist then it would show from under my shirt. I was highly annoyed. And to think I need to wear these wonderful things for the next 6 months! HELP ME!

Two new experiences

So today I had 2 firsts. . .

The first is we went to Target and a got a BeBand (or at least I think that is what they are called). Its a band that allows you to keep your pants unbuttoned and wear this band over top of your waist band without your pants falling off. I thought it was time since I can't button any of my work pants.

The second is I had to go to the doctor today...not my OB but my regular doctor. You see, before we went to Vegas I got a wart on my foot. I started putting those patches on it but once I got pregnant the doctor said I couldn't use them any more. So, I just let it go for a while until recently when it became more painful. So I finally decided that I needed to get it removed. I thought this was going to be a quick and easy process and it would be gone. Well it was quick and easy today however, the doctor said I would need to come back 2-3 more times before it will be gone. Which is not exactly what I wanted to hear but hopefully it will be gone soon!

12 weeks 6 days

I went to the doctor's today! Everything went really well. The doctor found the heartbeat right away...which I was very happy about! The heartbeat was 160. I am still not showing. I asked the doctor when I could expect to start showing and she said probably not until the 5th month. That's still 7-8 weeks away. I want for everyone to be able to see that I am pregnant! We also discussed the swine flu. She definately recommends getting the vaccine but they won't have it till next week, so I am supposed to call then. She talked to me about getting the test for down syndrome next time, which I am opting out of. That is something I don't need to know. We will love the baby no matter what and I don't need to know that ahead of time.


Anyways, in other news, our new floors got installed yesterday and I absolutely love it! It is amazing how the hardwood brightens up the room and makes it look bigger. I can't wait for the carpet to be installed next week.

Cause I had a bad day!

Today was the day from you know where for me. Work was just crazy. We had 2 people quit. We have one teacher who has the swine flu possibly ( I called my doctor and she isn't worried. She said to just let her know if I start having any symptoms and we will talk more at my apt. on Wednesday.) and to top it off I am a klutz. I was walking up the stairs to go change and I tripped on my slipper, fell and put my top teeth through my bottom lip. I landed on my hands, but boy am I sore and I have a big fat lip!!! Luckily, being that I work in a preschool, I see this sort of thing often, so I knew to go get ice and then call my mom and cry to her. I am ready for this day to be over! Here's hoping that tomorrow is a better day!

New things

Today we are ripping up all the carpet on the first floor because on Tuesday we are getting hardwood flooring!!!! Kevin had to move the frig and the stove into the living room and then rip up the carpet so everything can be installed. My job was to supervise and clean out the frig and restock it. You can not believe how much stuff we threw away. We had things in the frig that expired in 2007! OPPS!!! All this cleaning also made me realize how disgusting the old carpet is and that it really needed to go!!! So keep your fingers crossed that everything turns out well on Tuesday. I will post pictures of the finished project!

12 weeks

I know it has been a while since my last post, but not too much has been going on. Kevin and I both had a cold these past few days so I haven't been much into typing. I think I am finally over the hump though and I am feeling better.

I broke down today and finally got a flu shot. My doctor recommended it and I have been putting it off and even debating if I wanted to get one. I decided that I needed to get it for the baby. I know it is hard to find them lately, a lot of places are already out of them. Luckily, my family doctor allowed you to walk in and get one. There were at least 10 of us there when I was there. They just went down the line, had us roll up our sleeve and gave it to us. Now my arm is really sore. :(

Ok, now onto the baby. I think I might be starting to show just a little depending on what I am wearing. It definately gets more noticeable as the day goes on. I am at the in between stage where my pants don't button but I am not really for maternity pants. I finally told my new owner that I was pregnant this week. I have been meaning to for the past couple of weeks but things just kept happening and preventing me from doing so. He took it well and seemed very happy for us. I know deep down he is thinking, "oh crap, both of my directors are pregnant what am I going to do," but he didn't say that. I didn't have to tell the rest of the staff because someone did that for me. A staff member that i swore to secrecy went and told everyone. I was pretty ticked. That was my news to tell, but oh well, what's done is done.

I go to the doctor again next Wednesday. I am excited to go and hear the heartbeat and see the progress. Stay tuned for more info.
