I started showing last week which is super exciting!!! As with Nya, I couldn`t wait to start showing :)
For the last several weeks I have been dealing with morning sickness. I never experienced this with Nya, so this is all very new for me. My prenatal vitamins are really what triggers it for me in the AM. Literally within 3-25mins after taking my vitamin, I`m awfully sick.
I`ve been sick for my whole second and third month. Various times throughout the day I`ll be fine one second, and then without warning, the next second I`m gagging or physically sick. My gag reflux is so super sensitive right now; anything can trigger it to go off at any given time. lol It can be a smell, looking at something like a food item, changing a stinky diaper, brushing my teeth or even just walking into the kitchen. lol Sometimes nothing at all triggers it and out of the blue I`m gagging.
Fortunately, I`ve never had a gagging episode in church (which has been a big fear of mine!) or in public; aside from one time in the men`s department at Target. lol Now that was interesting!
Dennard has gotten use to the `false warnings` and ignores them now. For the first few times he would run and grab me a bag; then after several false alarms, he just leaves me until the gagging episode subsides. lol
Nya on the other hand is totally opposite. She runs to my aid every time without fail. She just melts my heart!!! Dennard has recently put a grocery bag for `emergencies` hanging on our bedroom door for me, lol. There have been several times where I`ve been getting out of bed and felt like I was going to be sick. Nya seeing that I wasn`t well, has run to the bedroom door, grabbed the bag and come running back to me saying `here mommy!!! you need this!. lol
Times where I have been `gracefully hugging the toilet`....lol...Nya has stood behind me rubbing my back. She`s refused to leave my side no matter how many times I`ve urged her to leave or continue playing. She`s even run down to the kitchen to grab me bottles of water! She will be a fantastic mommy one day :) She has such a sweet and caring heart.
I had my first prenatal appointment at 10 weeks. I was so excited, as was Nya. I plan to take her to all my appointments and ultrasounds so she can be there for every experience :) I let Nya know that morning that we were going to the Dr`s that evening after daycare to check on the baby. The whole day she kept asking me when we were going to the `baby`s appointment`. lol I don`t know who was more excited; Nya or myself!
My Dr checked my weight, my blood pressure, my heart rate and took a urine sample to check all my levels. Sadly she said I wasn`t far enough along in my pregnancy to hear the baby`s heartbeat on the dopler. She said that its not until around 14 weeks that the heartbeat can be detected.
I will be seeing my Dr every three weeks from now on until farther along in my pregnancy when I see my OB at the hospital where I will deliver; Credit Valley.
Surprisingly, Nya hasn't spilled the beans regarding the baby to anyone. She has known about our pregnancy from day one; however, I told her it was a secret. Low and behold, at only 2 years of age, she hasn't said a thing!! lol I really took a chance!
There was however one time at church when I thought she may have let the cat out of the bag, but.... sigh of relief........ no one caught on. lol Natisha at church was talking to her about them being like sisters. When Nya heard her say the word `sister`, she put her hand to her chest and said `I am!!!`. I quickly changed the subject and no one suspected a thing; fewfh!! lol
I`m still dealing with pregnancy acne which started in my second month-boo!
I find that unlike with Nya, I crave sweets this pregnancy. Desserts, chocolates and candy`s are all very appealing to me. I eat very healthy when I`m pregnant; avoiding all sweets, caffine and unhealthy snacks; howeverrrrr, I will on occasion treat myself to a few chocolate covered almonds or peanuts :) lol
I`m hoping that as I leave my first trimester and enter my second, I will be away with the morning sickness and get my appetite back again.
Here`s hoping!!! lol
