The past few weeks!

Since I have not been blogging yet about the new baby I have been keeping a little log of what has been going on so I will not forget. This is most likely going to be our last little one so I want to remember as much as I can. I really didn't get into blogging until after Wade was born and now I wish I would have done better when I was pregnant. This pregnancy is SOOOOO different than my last one. I have felt horrible pretty much 24/7 since about 6 weeks. It has to end sometime, right?
  •  3 weeks and 5 days- positive pregnancy test!!
  •  6 weeks- told our parents/brothers and sisters. We had planned to wait until 7-8 weeks but I was sick at the lake and could not hide it.  I was nauseated pretty much off and on all day (I don't remember feeling this bad with Wade?)
  • 7 weeks- Uhhhh week 7- got sick for the first time at my granddad's house after lunch...came home and was sick most of the afternoon. My poor grandad said "just make yourself at home" after I told him I got sick by the side of his house!!  I am thinking it was food poisoning or a stomach bug; I have already gotten sick more with this baby than the entire time I was pregnant with Wade.
  • 8 weeks- 1st MD appt- had a U/S and saw our little peanut. HR was 169. Got a Rx for Zofran- Halleluiah!! Zofran helped very little- still pretty nauseated off and on. Told some close friends and told some family. Horrible stomach bug again? Sick all weekend. Mom and dad took Wade to the lake and Josh took care of me. It was a bad weekend. 
  • 9 weeks-told my dad's side of the family- feeling about the same... very nauseated off and on all day- zofran is helping some. Wasn't planning on telling but was so sick at my grandma's house. It is hard to hide when you are sick all the time!
  • 10 weeks- starting to show some.  Nauseated pretty much all the time-had one afternoon well I felt ok for a few hours!! No weight gain at this point! Started talking to Wade about baby- he now says he doesn't want one!
  • 11 weeks- Most of our close friends know. Actually had another day this week that I felt somewhat normal for most of the afternoon. Headaches almost daily now. Really tired this past weekend. No cravings at all- food just does not sound good to me. Wish I had cravings...I am pretty much having to make myself eat.
  • 12 weeks- Guess what...still nauseated. Only got sick once this week but nausea is still bad. Come on 2nd trimester!! Usually at least one headache a day. Had our 2nd appointment yesterday. According to my scale I have not gained any weight... according to the doctors scale I have gained 1 lb. I think I'll go with my scale!! Either way I am happy with only gaining 1 lb during the first 12 weeks. I had gained much more by this point with Wade.

This is Claire and I a few weeks ago. With Wade I took pictures at 4, 8, 12 weeks ect. I realized this is the only picture I have taken so far of our new little one. I was 9 weeks in this picture. I am showing much more now. I am planning on taking another one this week since I am 12 weeks now.


Lets just say at this point Wade is NOT excited about this baby. Before we got pregnant if we asked him about a baby he would say he wanted a "sister to play blocks with." Well this has now changed. Now when asked if he wants a brother or sister almost all of the time he will say "I don't want anything!" When you ask where the baby is going to sleep he says "at her house" and here's the best part. When you ask where her house is he says "in Greenville!" How in the world my 2 year old came up with this I do not know. All he knows is we sometimes go to Greenville to visit friends and Peedy the Pirate lives there. So my Greenville friends I guess our next baby may be living with one of you guys.

If you ask him what is in my stomach he will usually say "a sister" and he says her name is "Abby." No we are not using the name Abby if it is girl. He got the name Abby from his Elmo book!! One day I randomly asked him what he would do if his "sister" cries. I thought he was going to have this sweet answer for me. Not Even Close. He said he would "hit her or knock her down." Oh my poor 2nd child; I hope you are a tough one! Wade will be about 35 months old when the baby is born so I am really hoping all this changes and he will start to get excited about a brother or sister. Even though Wade always says "sister" Josh and I really feel like this is a little boy!
