OB visit number 2

On week number 8 we had the opportunity to go to the OB. This was Chris first time and I was very excited for him to meet the doctor and be with me. I could see that he was a little uncomfortable because he had never been before and didn't know what to expect.

On this visit we had another ultrasound to make sure the baby was moving right along and his predictions of how far I was were correct. He said that I was doing good and the baby looked so much bigger compared to that tiny dot at five weeks. I could actually see a little head with a little body. I can tell this baby is going to be so cute already ! Another fun thing we got to do was he showed us the heart beating on the ultrasound and it just filled my heart with so much joy. That's the neatest thing I've seen so far the heart beating on the screen. <3 He gave us ultrasound number two and I have saved in my pregnancy packet they gave me.

I had my blood work done, and I peed in a cup. FUN FUN!!! Our next appointment will be in the middle of October and I can't wait to see how much this baby has grown in five weeks.
we love this baby so much words can't express the excitment running in our minds every day. Love you baby.

I DISLIKE SMELLY PERFUMES OR COLOGNES.

OH my GOODNESS!!! I dont know what to do about this current situation. My smell senses are crazy. I know its normal because I've read about it and my friends tat have been pregnant tell me that its the hormones. The only thing I can is just deal with it. Its honestly driving me nuts.

I want to kindly hold a sign that says please please please keep your smelly perfumes to a minimum because I will throw up on your face. That'll be my disclaimer to them. Ha ha . Truth is I havent thrown up yet, however Ive wanted to like almost every day. I dont feel so great sometimes and I dont feel like myself. I am trying very hard to smile and be happy but I didn't think it would be this hard. The fatigue is killing me. I need so much sleep and I need more time in my day to get all my things done. I am praying so hard that everything will work out because I dont want to be stressed or worry all those around me. I am being taken very good care of. Most people that Im close to are being sensative to me and putting up with my moodiness, but its the strangers in the class, store, work, anywhere!!!

Let me give you an example. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a very interesting class That I take from 7:30 till 9:00, and I sit to this very cute nice girl. I think she's super nice and friendly to me so I get along with her. Well yesterday in the middle of class she whips out her strong peachy flavored lotion and puts it all over her hands. I wish I was brave enough to kindly ask her to please not do that because it makes me want to barf and my senses are very sensative. I dont think I will and I think ill just wait until it happens again and if I feel so bad Ill just have to tell her im prego and so on.

Today - this guy walks in with his CHEAP COLOGNE that hits me in the face as soon as he walks in. Ewwwwww it doesnt even smell good at all.

Hopefully I survve my first trimester without choping someones head off.

I will be patient and smile. I am very thankful for my family, husband, and baby. Right now its just hard to take in being pregnant, working, school, being, sick, and being a descent housewife.

I know i'll get through I just need to get used to this. :P
I need to go to the temple soon. I need a girls night.

Hard work

Making a baby is hard work and whoever told you other wise is lying. My bodys tired and I am so behind on so many things because I've been busy.
Its hard to work work and go to school, then to top it off have so much homework and projects I need to worry about. Lucky for me I like my classes and they are fun to do homework for. I wish I could just be home doing chores and running errands with my man!!! I miss him the most I've been so busy that it's hard for us to actually have some time together. Weekends are our time to catch up and relax. We love having Sundays off.

Everyday this week we've been going to be super early so that my body gets some rest. And when I mean early I mean 8 or 9 pm. Chris loves this SO MUCH! On Monday night he just couldnt believe that we were in bed by 8:30 . Guess we better get as much sleep as we can get. Specially me before I get really uncomfortable and not be able to sleep.

Although I have much to learn and I know this is not going to be easy we are very grateful and pray every night for our baby. We know that this happened at the perfect time for the perfect reason. I testify that the Lord knows whats best for us and we just need to be good and listen to the spirit. I know I will overcome anything if I just turn to Him for help. I feel very loved and I know i can do anything. :)

Week 6 is almost over and on to week 7.
