Spring!!!
Today is such a beautiful day! It's actually been getting too warm in our cabin so we've been sleeping with the windows open and the ceiling fan on. The frogs make constant noise around the pond and there is some bird that has the ugliest call I've ever heard that is really noisy.
David brought me home chocolates last night. That was a surprise. David never gets me anything. He said he knows a box of chocolates are cliche but I was just happy he thought about me! He told me he wouldn't eat any of them but that he would wait until I left behind the ones I don't like. He's so kind.
I've got errands to run today and I might see if I can find the sea band bracelets somewhere. They're supposed to help with nausea by putting pressure on some point on my wrist. I need some relief; I'm going to go crazy.
Wish me luck

201 Days?
201 days is so far away!! Can't wait to meet baby!
When I went to the doctor on Monday I told her that I thought I had a bladder infection and they called me yesterday and told me that I do. Thankfully it's not bad.
I cannot even describe how happy I am that David is going to go back to days. My sleep is so disrupted. I am soooo tired. Also, when I need to talk to him, I'm usually to tired to talk about it when he gets home and that's pretty much the only time I see him...what was his name again?? I almost forget what he looks like...
So, other than that there isn't much going on. We're boring, I know.

Cloth Diapers?
Ok, I'm hoping for a better day today. I spent the majority of the day yesterday fighting the urge to puke. I was sooo tired because I didn't sleep well the 2 nights before and then I sneezed all day long. Sneezing alot makes me feel drained. Today I am tired but I'm hoping the nausea won't be so bad today.
I found out when I went to the doctor on Monday that the hospital in Logan has jacuzzi tubs, birthing balls and they let you walk around. The doc told me that the hospital has a low cesarean rate compared to most...what does that mean? Most hospitals have a rate of 80% and this one is 50%? And of course the doc gives me her opinions on homebirth. I didn't tell her that I am personally interested in it. I just asked a general question. Doctors sure know how to scare you out of it! But I had to go back to the waiting room for a few minutes and so I picked up this magazine and there was an article about a woman who did a homebirth. Ironic that I was doubting and then found reassurance so quickly? I think not!
Another thing that I am considering is cloth diapering. I've been reading about the health benefits of it. Did you know there is dioxin in disposable diapers that is one of the deadliest carcinogens? Also the cholorine and ammonia...not good. I've read about the environmental impact of disposable diapers. Disposable diapers are the third most common consumer product in landfills today. A disposable diaper may take up to 500 years to decompose. One baby in disposable diapers will contribute at least 1 ton of waste to your local landfill. And I've looked at the cost of disposable diapers. "You can expect to spend $1,500 to $2,000 or more on disposables by the time your baby is out of them." Holy cow. I could use that money on something else!
There are also a lot of neat options with cloth diapering nowadays. We'll see. It does gross me out to put dirty diapers in my washer.
I love looking into this stuff!

2 Posts in 1 Day!
I have nothing to do right now and I am so bored! I can't stop falling asleep. I'm waiting for lunch so I can go get something of substance so I can hopefully stop feeling like I'm going to puke. *sigh* so fun, isn't it?
I think it's so cool that I got to hear the heart beat yesterday. I mean, the pregnancy doesn't seem that real yet since I don't have a big belly and I can't feel it moving around. So, it was neat to hear the heartbeat and know that there really is a baby growing in there! I don't think I'll ever get used to the idea that I'm going to be a mom. Probably not until I hold that baby in my arms :0)
I seriously cannot wait until the holidays. They are going to be so much fun! Baby's going to get to experience it's first Thanksgiving and Christmas right away! This might be an expensive Christmas :0) That's okay!

11 Weeks :0)
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.
She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
It was 7 years ago today that my sweet mom passed away. I miss her and I love her and I wish she were here to celebrate her grandbaby.

Heart Beat
Today was my doctor's appointment and I got to hear baby's heart beat. That was pretty cool. My aunt says it is a girl since it was beating so fast. We'll see. I think it's a boy. It was beating 175. Everything looked good. I didn't get an ultrasound and I was kind of bummed because I wanted to see the difference from the last one. Oh well. At least I heard the heart beat and know that my baby is growing!
