Nosebleeds!

This past week, we have been very busy! On Saturday, the 12th, we attended the funeral service of my birth grandmother...she was 96...then that evening we all had a wonderful dinner at Fulton's of Old Sac. It was a fun time to see everyone again and Alyson got to meet her cousin, C.J. from Hawaii (and so did I!!).

Monday night, Alyson woke up and threw up on me all night...I didn't get to sleep until almost 6 a.m. and I had to go to work-which I was late. Poor thing....she still doesn't want to eat and she's thrown up again on Tuesday night and Wednesday night.....but not last night so hopefully she is on the road to recovery!! She doesn't have a fever or act differently...well, a little moody. Then, on Wednesday morning....I am in the bathroom throwing up...not a pretty sight let me tell you!! Wednesday night, Mike gets home...he's throwing up. We are a sad sad family around here this week! But, as of today, I think we are all on the road to recovery!!

I do have a Prego-update.....I have a new symptom....NOSEBLEEDS! Well, it's only happened once so far (yesterday) and hopefully it won't happen again....I was standing at the kitchen counter and all of a sudden....gushing blood out of my nose...and it was bleeding for like 10 minutes. It freaked me out a little, but Mike looked it up on the computer and it's normal for pregnant women to get them. WHEW!!

Weekend is here....:) Tomorrow, I am taking Kirsten for her birthday to get mani's and pedi's in the morning at the spa. Monday is a holiday and I'm taking Alyson to her first Little Gym class to see if she likes it. If so, a new 20-week semester is starting so it's perfect timing! I took her when she was a bit younger, but she wasn't ready.

I'm NORMAL!!!!

Hello! I am now week 10 of my pregnancy and MAN am I tired!! I actually had a mini-breakdown this morning while in the car in the garage. I started crying because I was just so exhuasted. And, I'm getting plenty of sleep! I guess my body is just makin' the babe!

I'm having a weird symptom, however. I wasn't sure if this was normal...but doing some online research...IT IS!! I am having very vivid dreams about ex-lovers! It's very strange and I'm waking up with such a sense of betrayal to Mike and guilt! But, they are just dreams and I really have no control over them. And, from what I've found on the internet, it is mother natures way of clearing the subconcious of the male energies in the deep parts of my mind to make way for the deeper love that I am creating in my body. A way of cleansing old stuff I guess.

Top 6 dreams, according to Parents Magazine:
1. Giving Birth to an animal
2. Giving Birth to an alien
3. Taking the baby out of your uterus
4. Swimming, drowning, standing in the ocean
5. Cheating spouse
6. Re-appearing ex-lovers (WHEW! My dream made the top 6!).

So...although I feel funny about the dreams I'm having, I have to realize they are normal. I haven't talked about them with Mike yet...I don't think I will go in detail however when I do mention it to him. Some websites say it's good to keep a journal next to your bed and jot them down when you wake...HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA No way in HELL I'm writing down the things that I'm dreaming....are they crazy???

Another thing I'm facing is that I'm just not hungry. With Alyson...I could pile it in! But, with this baby, I'm not hungry and when I do have to eat, I can't eat a lot. I mean, not every time...sometimes I can eat an entire dish...but it's rare! It's good...but just different. Maybe it's a BOY! hmmmm.....they say every pregnancy is different. I'm breaking out on my face a lot! That's irritating. And, then there's the bathroom issues that I won't go in to...let's just say if it's not one thing, it's another.

No pictures today. I'll take a pic at my 12 week doc appointment (Jan. 22nd). I'm popping out a little..but I had some belly roll already, so it looks like just bloating. My pants are starting to get tighter around the belly and I'm starting to wear prego shirts because I just can't hold my fat in any longer! I was really good about sucking it in on a regular basis...not now! I've only gained 5 pounds in 2 months, so I think that's pretty good. My goal, since I was overweight when I got prego, it to try to keep the weight gain down to about 20 lbs. I've read that that is a good goal. We'll see! :)
