We’re back from vacation!!!
I feel like my nausea and vomiting is getting worse and worse instead of getting better!!! I cant wait for the next three weeks to fly so I can be past the first trimester.
From what I’ve been reading (and is A LOT!), the second trimester is the easiest from all three. You regain your energy, morning sickness goes away, and you can FINALLY know if you’re having a boy or girl or both ;).
The day after we came back was Memorial day (May 25th, 2009) and we decided to go to the hospital and try to find a doctor to my regular doctor. But the out patient clinic was closed so they suggested to go to the emergency room. I’ve been having a little pain on my side, so I said “what the hell, we’re already here. Maybe they can do an ultrasound and I can hear my baby’s heartbeat”. After 2 hours we were done and the doctor had done an ultra sound but he didn’t put the sound on. He said that the pain is just the uterus expanding and that the baby looked fine. He had inserted this LLLOOONNGGG rod with a HUGE condom into my vajajay. That HURT like crazy!! OMG!! How can they do that to a pregnant woman!!??. But at least I know that my baby is ok. Now I have to call the clinic and make an appointment to see a doctor and do another ultrasound and FINALLY hear my baby’s heartbeat!!! I want to see that picture so bad!!!
Also, the doctor said I was 8 weeks 6 days on Monday, so today I am 9 weeks 3 days.
When I come to work in the mornings is like a punishment…I find that the hallway smells and it makes me gag. I have to literally either run to the office, cover my nose or hold my breath. Those 10 steps seem to go on forever!!!...funny thing is that no one can smell what I smell…
And when I go to the bathroom is worse!! I throw up almost all the time I go in there!!!...Now I am carrying this body mist with me. I would spray it before going in, then breathe!!!...this has been the only way I can use the bathroom!! Crazy!!!
Vacation was WONDERFUL!!! Other than throwing up the first days, it was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. We went to Grand Turk (where we went snorkeling), Half Moon Cay (where you will see the clearest water ever!! I mean I was up to my neck and was able to see my feet!!) and Nassau (a great place to shop and it looks just like D.R!!).
I started participating in this blog/chat room for pregnant ladies…is the one from the What to expect book. Those ladies are a TRIP and very helpful. I even have “belly buddies” hahaha and I just joined yesterday!! I belong to the group called “due in December 2009”. I even met someone who has the same pain the butt I have now. She said hers was very severe with her first son! Wow! I hope mine is not that bad!!
Ps. I can't forget to mention that today is my LOVELY sister's birthday, which I love like a daughter!! Happy Bday sister!! today you are a teenager!!! OMG time flies!! It feelsl ike yesterday I was in 7th grade waiting for the bell to ring so I can go to the hospital and meet my sister...brings tears to my eyes!! :)...she was 21 inches and 9 1/2 pounds...born at 2:41pm. I love that girl!!
Ok, so until next week!!
Symptoms: STILL nausea and vomiting, Pain in the butt (sciatic nerve)..HUNGRY all the time…a few mood swings here and there…breasts are back to being sore.

8 Weeks pregnant!!
I haven’t written in a while because the symptoms have been the same. Nausea, fatigue, mood swings, hunger, etc...
I have decided to write once a week so I can have more to say.
Tomorrow, Robert and I will be going on a cruise to the Bahamas. We did not expect to leave pregnant when we booked the trip, but life is full of surprises. At least the baby will have traveled before he/she is born!! hahahaha
One new symptom has emerged, that is a pain on the right side of my butt. I was reading and found a website that stated the following:
"This is common and is a result of the pressure the uterus is applying to the low part of the spine. You may be experiencing a sharp pain in your buttocks and along the side of your thigh as well. This is due to the uterus placing pressure on the sciatic nerve that innervates the buttocks and side of your leg. If these discomforts are troublesome, you may be asked to rest and have physical therapy. " http://www.womenshealthcaretopics.com/pregnancy_week_8.htm
Right now is not that bad, but sometimes it becomes bothersome, especially when I am laying down or sitting for a long time. This along with my restless legs makes it IMPOSSIBLE to rest and relax at night.
I guess we must all go through a lot of rain before we see the rainbow! No matter what I go through it will be worth it and I would not change it for the world!!!
ok, see ya when we come back!!!
Symptoms: same as usual plus pain in the butt (literally) haha...

NAUSEOUS!!! That is all I can say and feel at this moment!!!!
I can’t think of anything to eat before I do that international symbol of throwing up (holding my breath and putting my hands over my mouth). As soon as I think of ANY food I just get sooooo nauseous!!! Like right now for example, I have a lot of willpower because I just want to run to the bathroom and let it AAALLL out!!
This morning I was feeling kind of dizzy and had to put my head down for a little while. I feel TIRED and sleepy all the time and I just can’t help it. I’ve been going to sleep a little earlier than usual and even waking up 20 minutes later every morning and I still can’t seem to get enough rest.
I know this will soon pass, but even though is bothersome, I am still enjoying the bliss and wonders of motherhood!!!!
Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Tiredness, oh yeah and CRANKY!!!!

6 weeks pregnant!
Monday May 4th, 2009
This week will be my sixth week pregnant and I am sooo excited as the time goes by!! I can’t wait to see my baby’s face in 30+ weeks!!
As I’ve said before, I’m doing a lot of reading and trying to educate myself so nothing takes me by surprise. And I know that everything I read should be taken lightly because all pregnancies are wonderful and unique in each every way. Pregnancy from the same mothers are different from one to the next!!
Let me start by saying that I adore my mother-in-law, I thank God for giving me such a loving and caring mother-in-law. But lately she has been getting on my nerves!!!! Hahahaha…I know she means well, but she has to understand that everyone is very different and I can’t POSSIBLY go through the same thing she did in 1982 when she had my husband...or for me to go through the SAME thing MY MOTHER went though when she had me or my sister.
I am sooooo exhausted lately and no one seems to understand or take me seriously. Sometimes I feel like I’m going to pass out or my eyes will close and I won’t be able to open them again. But when I say these things I am thought of as being lazy and not strong enough. WTF? I feel how I feel!!
The funniest thing is that I’ve been throwing up every day now (no matter what time) and she tells me that “there is no way that you can have morning sickness in the evening, that only happens when you wake up”…hhmm sooo aaaaaallll the books and aaaallll the articles from OBGYN’s are wrong??
Hhmm interesting!!
Maybe I’m just making a big deal about nothing and I KNOW she is trying to help me, but I dunno how to tell her that I will take into consideration what she says but I will keep on reading too, without sounding like a bitch!! I mean, if we’re doing this now that I’m only 6 weeks, I can’t imagine what is going to happen later or after the baby is born!!!! I think I will worry about that later!!
In the meantime, I should enjoy and love every minute of my “morning, noon, and evening sickness” and make the best out of it. Some women would give ANYTHING to be going through what I’m going through right now (vomit and all!!!!). So THANK YOU GOD for believing that Robert and I are worthy of taking care of another life!!!!!! J
Symptoms: vomiting, cranky, TIRED!!, dizzy and hungry (my lunc was disgusting and had to pick at it as much as I could stand).
