Already??

I am not 12 weeks 5 days pregnant and I swear I have felt a ton of kicks today. It started while I was still in bed this morning, more so after I moved around a little bit. Then again after I ate breakfast. I just got done eating lunch and it started back up again. These are pretty powerful kicks, not little fluttering I would have expected being so early on. and no these are not gas bubbles or anything like that.
I am pretty sure I am not further along, I did start thinking that I didnt have a normal cycle in January. hmmm..
well my first appt with my midwife is on April 7th, I guess we'll see what she says. Makes me kind of nervous now.

11 Weeks Today

Where the heck did this last week go? I felt like I JUST posted about week 10. this is crazy. I am soooo not ready for this pregnancy to go by so fast. The thought of having 4 kids is scaring me. I am feeling guilty. I am already so busy with my other 3 kids and just daily life, how am I going to manage another one? I know I will figure it out when the time comes, but it doesnt stop me from being in panic mode a few dozen times a day.

This weight gain is really getting out of control. I knew it was bound to happen since I can't be on the type of diet I was on, but I could still be watching what I am eating. I guess since I deprived myself of my favorite foods while losing weight, I am eating them now so I am packing on the weight. I am up 15lbs already YIKES. I seem to be holding steady there. Although I am not truly watching what im eating, I am eating balanced meals and *trying* not to eat a ton of junk, its hard though with Easter candy floating around my house. Jelly beans are my weakness of the day.

the nausea has subsided for the most part, I more so just feel off. I dont know, its weird. and the fatigue is still full force. it hits me in spurts and today just happens to be one of them. I am miserable.

10 Weeks!

Ok wow, have I been slacking in posting. On my "new" week I always tell myself throughout the day that I need to post then I never get around to it.

So today I am 10 weeks. almost want to say ALREADY? but yet it kinda is going slow. I mean I found out only 9 days after conception. its bound to feel like an eternity.

belly pics will be coming soon, as I have already popped out quite a bit. But I guess that is what I get for being on baby #4 and never fully getting my body back to begin with. I am bloating alot too, so my belly is dramatic right now. Regardless I am excited to start taking some pictures.

Still feeling really crappy. LOTS of nausea still. The last couple days no food sounds good at all. I am still eating often, but the nausea is there the whole time. I have been sucking on some preggie pop drops. those are yummy, but I am finding it hard to even want to taste one.
Fatigue is also really bad still. I am not sleeping well at night (tossing and turning). about 2 hours after I go to sleep my bladder is on fire. The only bathroom is upstairs next to the kids' rooms. So that is lovely.

I am pretty bummed to see the scale going up. I was on a fairly strict diet that I started last summer. I NEEDED to lose the baby weight from Tiler and Bennett. I lost 65 pounds and got about 15-20pds away from my goal when I found out I was pregnant. Almost right away I put on 10 pounds, blah! I haven't weighed myself in the last couple days. Feeling blah and yuck so I dont even want to step on it.

Oh and I finally made an official first appt with my midwife. Its April 7th. Looking forward to that!
