Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Mom may notice changes in skin pigmentation during pregnancy.
Went shopping AGAIN today. My sister-in-law went crazy and spent tons on my daughter, but it was great and she now has some really cute outfits!
We also went and hit up the maternity store again. This time I was in search for a skirt. I found a cute jean one and since it was on sale I got 2 more shirts as well. My sister-in-law also bought me a 3 piece lounge outfit too, so I think I am pretty set on maternity clothes now. I am so glad that I will have some options outfit wise this time around. Much better than the two outfits I had last time.
I had the worst wave a nausea today while out. I was almost ready just to lay on the floor and give up it was that bad. Luckily we hit the food court and I got my self a sandwich before I hit the floor. Even my sister-in-law said I was starting to look pretty bad. I have found that meat seems to be what I need to keep my morning sickness at bay. Not much else seems to help. They say that morning sickness should let up around 14 weeks, and if I remember right peaks at about 10 weeks. This means that I still have 3 more weeks of increasing morning sickness, and 7 of morning sickness in general. Not fair! I better puke by the end of it to make it all worth it…
Oh, and I seem to have gotten huge again over the last week. I bought a maternity shirt that is pretty baggy in the from, one that would hit a little bump for a while. Well… my bump is already showing a bit with this shirt, which means my bump is at least as far out as my boobs.. which is no small feat. I am beginning to think that maybe me pregnancy scare in April wasn’t a scare at all.. and that I just maybe has a freak period during pregnancy like some woman do. Either that or its twins or triplets… there are the only two explanations that I can come up with. I know I just had a baby in March, but seriously… I’m huge and I am only 7 weeks pregnant….

Day 50
Symptoms: morning sickness, fatigue, hunger
Weight: not sure
Cravings: nothing in particular
Mood: good
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Baby’s crown to rump length is 8 mm or 0.30 inches. Baby weights about o.8 grams.
I can’t believe it’s day 50 already. Time seems to by flying by. In a little less than a week from now I will be entering my 3 month already, and that means only 7 more to go! This week baby is the size of a blue berry. Cute. To bad blue berries are gross. They look good though so I guess its okay that my baby is being compared to them.
Today has been an okay day. Did a little more shopping today and got my hair cut. I just went in to get it styled a bit, and boy did she get scissor happy. It’s short, but that’s okay, now I won’t have to do anything with it for a while. The morning sickness is still lingering, but was not nearly as bad today. I am starting to feel hungry all the time and this is slowly conquering the morning sickness feeling. I’m okay with that… I think… I don’t want to eat so much that I become a house. I really need to start walking and exercising again. It’s just so hard to do when you are on holiday. I did pick up a pregnancy video called buff moms. I can’t wait to start it, but I am not sure I will get the opportunity to try it this week or not. I really don’t want gain a whole lot of weight again, I already feel bigger than I should be right now! I am afraid to step on my scale at home in a couple of weeks!

Day 49
Symptoms: morning sickness, fatigue
Weight: not sure
Cravings: went to the mall, basically everything in the food court…
Mood: good
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Moms should expect to have blood work done or scheduled at first prenatal appointment
So today I went shopping with my SIL. I love shopping with her, mostly because she is a shopaholic and therefore makes shopping fun. I decided that I would stop into a maternity shop while I am here since clothes prices here are sooo much cheaper than at home. I did pretty good! I promised my husband that I wouldn’t spend too much money. Well I walked out with 2 pairs of jeans for only 45$. That is soo cheap! I got a dark pair and a light pair for variety. If I could have I would have bought more, but I did promise not to spend money. We are however going to another shopping mall tomorrow and I hear there is also a maternity shop there. I would really like to find a shirt or two. I am so sick of the ones I have been wearing for my last pregnancy.
I am still feeling queasy, and getting quite tired of it. Although, my SIL noticed that I seem to get a pretty good wave of it when I am feeding my daughter. We are thinking that the smell of the formula must be one thing causing it. Wonderful…. but it makes sense. Every time I give her a bottle I suddenly feel soo sick that I pray that I don’t throw up on her (although… she does puke on me daily… ). Well its just about dinner time, so I am going to go stuff my face with steak and potatoes if I can stomach it.

Symptoms: morning sickness, fatigue
Weight: not sure
Cravings: ceaser salad
Mood: good
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Day 48: Baby’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose, lip, tongue, and teeth are forming.
I’m sorry I have been absent the last few days. On day 46 it was the grandparents 50th anniversary, so I was busy that evening. We went over for dinner. It’s always nice to go to their place for dinner when I am in town. Lots of good food. Yesterday I flew out to my brothers to spend a couple of week with them. I was pretty tired last night, so I skipped the blog. I’m sorry, but I just wasn’t up for it.
I have still been feeling pretty sick, especially today. I had to go lay down I was feeling so bad.
It’s great to be at my brothers. I love spending time with him and his wife. I really hope the next couple of weeks go slowly, because I will not be too happy when I have to leave.
I know this is a short post, but I am still feeling pretty queasy, so I am gonna head off.
Until tomorrow.

Day 45
Symptoms: morning sickness, fatigue
Weight: not sure
Cravings: none
Mood: depressed most of the morning, happy in the afternoon
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Baby is C shaped now and has a tail.
Well the morning sickness wasn’t to bad at all today. A little be queasy in the afternoon, but over all a good day on that front. I was actually starving at dinner time, something that hasn’t occurred for the last few days. However, once I started eating my stomach decided it wasn’t starving at all, regardless I made myself eat the entire plate.
I was pretty depressed, or I should say emotional this morning. I am frustrated beyond belief with my BIL’s wife. I send her a message a couple of weeks ago explaining my feelings and how I felt she treated with me with my last pregnancy etc, and she hasn’t bothered to send me a message back. It seems pregnant me and her don’t mix. Anything back would be nice. Even if it was “I don’t agree”, “I’m sorry you feel this way”, or “your a crazy bitch and I hate you”, its this nothing at all that is worse. I don’t know what I am going to do when I see her next. She obviously wants to ignore the situation and go on pretending I guess. I also have this other issue. I am throwing her a baby shower (its a surprise and she doesn’t know about it) and I don’t think she would want me there if she had the choice. I know that if I dislike someone, especially because they got pregnant before me and again before I could even give birth to my first I probably wouldn’t want them at my baby shower (which by the way I never got…). I would not go since I believe, but for one it would be impossible to explain it to the family as they would never believe me that she doesn’t like me, and two, I am throwing the damn thing! Some of you may wonder why I would go out of my way to throw someone who was extremely non-supportive during my pregnancy a baby shower. Well, there is simply no one else to do it, and just because she was a bitch to me doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve one, so I’m doing it.
Well there is my vent about that. The afternoon was okay, and I did get over my depresson of the morning. I also took a new picture for you all to see.
As you can see I am starting to get a little round bump already. If I compare the 6 week picture with the bump pictures of my last one I am looking about 15 weeks pregnant already.

Day 44
Symptoms: morning sickness, headache
Weight: not sure
Cravings: none
Mood: optimistic
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Baby’s brain begins to form and cranial nerves are formed.
Another day of morning sickness. It seems that with each passing day it is getting worse and worse. Eating small means throughout the day seems to help manage it though. Even though I feel really sick, today I am feeling excited about being pregnant. I can’t wait until that first ultrasound! Than the second one where we will find out the sex. I can’t wait to feel the baby move. All of these things are so exciting, and since the experience is still fresh in my mind, I am even more excited about it.
Day 43
Symptoms: morning sickness, fatigue
Weight: not sure
Cravings: none
Mood: not great at all, depressed
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Baby’s crown to rump length is 4-6 mm. Baby weights about 0.4 grams
Well today is the first day that the thought “why on earth did I decide to get pregnant again so soon” crossed my mind. This morning sickness just won’t let up today. It has been bothering me the entire day. I am still not throwing up, but I wish I was. I hate feeling like I am about to, but don’t. I think I am starting to sound like a broken record these last few posts. I just can’t seem to get out of this funk I am in. I think I just miss my husband, and my own bed, which is still 2 1/2 weeks away. I am glad that my family gets to meet my baby girl, but we have been on the go since she was born and I am just tired of visiting people. Although I am still really excited to go see my brother on Saturday. Maybe the change in venue will do something for my mood. Let’s hope so, or else this blog is going to get really boring to read.

Mood: changing every minute
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Day 41: Baby’s mouth, jaw, and esophagus are forming. Day 42: Baby’s heart begins to beat, although only visible through ultrasound
I must apologize that I did not post yesterday. We went over to the grandparents for a father’s day dinner, and after wards both me and my daughter were pretty tired and went to bed right away.
The last two mornings I have been feeling horrible. Hello morning sickness, minus actual puking. I am usually fine after I eat something, but figuring out what to eat has been a real issue. Yesterday I had spinach ravioli for breakfast, which turned out to be just the right thing. This morning all I could really get into was a bowl of red grapes. The grapes did help a little bit, but just that, a little bit. I only felt better today after eating a couple of cheddar stuffed smokies. While they didn’t taste as good as I thought they would, they seemed to make me feel less puky.
This morning when I looked in the mirror I could swear my tummy looked rounder, not just felt rounder. My mom pointed out to me that in the week I have been visiting, my belly has completely changed shape. She says I am starting to look pregnant and not like I just gave birth. Yay! Although I am only 6 weeks and if this belly really stays this size, I look more like I am 3 or 4 months pregnant. Maybe there are two in there….
Well I have to go, my 3 month old is having a totally fit here on my lap and protesting her disapproval of me writing on here..
Pregnant Me
Day 40
Symptoms: food aversion
Weight: not sure
Cravings: Went grocery shopping… so everything in the store looked good, then looked really bad
Mood: good
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Baby’s limbs buds are noticeable now.
Awwww limb buds… how cute…. or at least that’s what I thought until I went searching for a picture of the baby at this size.
This was the cutest picture I could fine. All others were not so cute, some even down right ugly! Oh well, I am still excited about limb buds. Just one more step to a more baby looking baby!
Today we went shopping, and of course had to stop in the baby section to buy clothes for my daughter. I couldn’t help wondering what the sex is of this little bean inside of me. I want to buy it clothes too! I hope it’s a boy, that way we will have to buy clothes and not just rely on what we already have. Plus some boy stuff is pretty darn cute! And, since we are only planning on having 2 children, a boy would nicely round things out. A boy and a girl. Sounds perfect to me. On the other hand… two little girls seems pretty darn cute too!
As for pregnancy wise, I feel pretty good today. We did go grocery shopping and every thing would look so good, then after a moment of considering it I would almost be gagging. I hate that. Makes it difficult to buy food. What seems like a good idea now may not be a great idea later. I seem to be steering towards greasy, fatty food though. They are the only things that do not trigger a gag reflex. I still haven’t puked, which I am grateful for, but, in some weird way I wish I would get it. I never got it last time, and I just feel like I was missing out on something. Crazy I know! Although I have been way more nauseous this time around, so thats gotta count for something right?
Well that’s all I have for you people today. I just want to thank those who keep coming back! I love seeing the continuous hits on here. Makes it seem like I’m not wasting my time writing away each day! If your new here, I hope to see you again!

Day 39
Symptoms: gas pains, cramping
Weight: not sure
Cravings: old dutch taco flavored chips with sour cream
Mood: good
Daily Pregnancy Calendar Says: Normal weight gain during pregnancy is 25-35 pounds. During the 1st trimester expect a 3 1/2 – 5 pound gain.
I should probably explain why I don’t know my weight. It is because I am visiting my mom and she doesn’t have a scale. Either way I want to use the same scale to record my weight, so we will have to wait until after July 11th to see my weight again. I am kind of scared, visiting family makes it hard to exercise and eat decently at all. Mmmm pizza pops.. which are surprisingly the only thing that doesn’t make me feel sick. Tonight for dinner I had Taquitoes. They were gross, not doing that again. This kind of food is what will make up my diet for the next month unless I want to buy my own food, and well….
Today I have been having lots of gas pains. I hated this part of pregnancy last time, and this time is no different. Oh pregnant get it so good. We become gas producing machines, and this makes us very uncomfortable, so men beware…. I have also been having cramping. A nice solid reminder that there is baby making going inside of me. These cramps seem to spring up after doing too much (such as lifting boxes like I was today… yes I am on holiday….). I try to take the cramps seriously and try to rest, but after spending my entire last pregnancy in a cramp city, they are hard to listen too. Last time I would get them for no reason at all. This time they seem to be associated with increased activity on my part. But its hard, it’s not like I can take time out from my 3 month old daughter and say hey, Mommy has cramps and need to lay on the couch for a while. I just don’t think she would understand.
