Your are making me ITCH

This whole pregnancy thing sure has its UP'S and downs. For instance.. NO ONE TELLS YOU you could scratch the skin right off your stretching belly.. On another note I had my regular OB appointment last week.. Looking like a train had smucked me on the way he asked me to take a couple weeks off work.. Not only did I lose MORE weight but I am very groggy headachey (I could handle it but its EVERY DAY) lathargic, no appetite.. Yes I love my baby more then anything but I believe if I didn't have my hubby I would stay in bed and never see the light of day. He forces me to eat and drink and brings me my nightly vitamin. TO make him feel valuble I remind him I AM carrying his child and if he was in the same boat I would look after him no problemo.. lol. However being the manly man he is he seems to think he could go through this process with NO problems. HA! I would like to witness that! So here I am trying to rest and take it easy.. I look around and there is so much to do. I am 20 weeks now and I know I know I am only 1/2 way BUT the past 15 have passed so fast I am not sure where the time went.
BABY update- so he/she is moving around ALOT.. there are moments when I can feel him/her stretch and move around. Our 19 week Ultrasound looked good however the little monkey had their legs crossed making it very difficult to see if we are going with a pink or blue room. Well I have a jam packed day of dog cuddling, napping and snacking, Oh an we are going to Ottawa tomorrow for the day to see all of our old friends and there babies..

Sunday Jan 4 2009

So 2009 is here.. ALREADY! Today I am sick sick sick with a cold. Well I have had one since new Years Day.. Probably all the human contact I had at our neighbours NYE party. Lots of hugs and kisses and germ sharing. I would be fine if it wasn't this sore ass throat that won't seem to go away.

Christmas was good. Lots of nice things for the house and lots of much needed cash to put toward th Wii... Oh ya we got a Wii.. So excited when I woke up on Friday (SICK) hubby had left work early to come home to tae care of me.. with Wii in hand.. LOL I have yet to feel up to really getting into it but it will be my method of getting into shape after the baby comes. My next appointment with dr Adimendun is on Wednesday morning. Let see how much weight I have lost. I really can't see me gaining anything as I don't eat... I know its bad but just zero appitite. Jason trys his hardest to force feed me but its just leave me nauseaous and gross feeling. I was getting some tight headaches but after posting my symptom on todaysparent I was advised to drink more WATER! so far no more headaches.. hurray, Two nights ago I am pretty sure I had my first mild movement.. fun stuff woke me up in the dead of sleep. So So worth it though. I am hoping a good nights sleep tonight clears this cold and makes tomorrow a better day when I am back to work.

Its Week 12

Hurray Hurrah! Week 12 is here which means that I am almost in the “safe zone” My chances of a mis-carriage decrease by the day. My last post I had mentioned I started to take Diclectin for my nausea. I made an executive choice to stop as I figured everyone says I should be feeling better. BOY WAS I WRONG the nausea immediately took over. I became so sick I could not control my vomiting and unfortuanly would even get sick after taking my prenatal vitamins. SO SO not good. So back on the “D” pill and slowing feeling some relief and getting some much needed fluids back into the system.. Today I went for my step 1 IPS test, a quick vile of blood to determine the health of my unborn child.

I can’t get over the higher sense of smell I have. There is little food being cooked that doesn’t make me quease which means that this Christmas is goingt o be that much more difficult. UGGGG! So much for Turkey and stuffing. Thank god sweet stuff is my savior. J What made it ok for my husband to make ONION soup tonight I am not sure…. Its so smelly and rough on the nose… I actually became emotional.
Ok time to get back to Oprah!

10 weeks only 30 more to go

So trying to keep with the modern day I have decided to keep a blog on my pregnancy progress. Plus those that know I am pregenant are always asking me how I feel and how I am coping withis big change that will soon come.
I know my title is CarleyandParkermom BUT this will be my/our first time as two legged Mom and Dad. Don't get me wrong my two goldens retrevers Carley and Parker have been great practice so far but I know and understand this time it will be different. So yesterday hit the 10 week mark.. which some might think is to early to stress about but in reality I am 25% done. I am really looking forward to the next few weeks to pass... This nauseated feeling has made the quality of my day to day life suck and suk some more.. I keep thinking Lord its worth it.. My doctor prescribed me Diclectin a SAFE anti nausea drug to help me cope but some days (lateley )its just not cutting it.
I need to figure out how to scan my first UltraSOund. You really can't see him/her (hopefully only one) BUT I heard the little heartbeat which made this whole thing so real. The technician seemed to like the look of things so far along with my post OBGYN appointment,, This whole this is just mind blowing. Apparentlty this week the baby is pretty much fully formed. Well I feel a waive coming on so time for me to end... be back soon.
