Holy Crap What was that.......

I am officially 25 weeks pregnant and  I look like it! I am realizing that we have only a few months left until the baby comes. We’ve still got to  order the furniture, tour the hospital where she will be born, wash and put away all the baby clothes we’ve got for her, and finally, set up area in our bedroom. We live in a small condo for now so no nursery until we move.

Let's start with my appointment yesterday this is with the regular OB and they checked my fetal tones and everything was fine heart beating away at 161 bpm...... On my way home I stopped at Walmart for some essentials and decided to try the deli for the prepared wings..... HOLY CRAP.

While it tasted ok......apparently it was not received well. I had a splitting headache, no exaggeration splitting, mind numbing I wanted to cry headache. Immediately after that I was throwing up and felt pains in my stomach. I was so scared. I drank water and took a nap which helped a little but I didn't feel better until today. NEVER.AGAIN.

Pregnancy Side Effects:

• Heartburn – Whether it’s water, plain toast, or a few pickles I get nasty heartburn that just doesn’t quit. Good thing there’s calcium in Tums because I’m popping those things like chalky little candies.
• Exhaustion – I seem to be giving all my energy to the baby right now because when my eyes are open, all they want to do is close.
• Joint pains- where is all this coming from.....my knees hurt and back. Starting today I am going to take a stroll in the evenings to get more activity in. I have been doing kegel exercises though.

Currently Craving: Still nothing.....I have the urge to eat nothing really. I basically wing it, it is either received well....or not. The thing I have not been getting are lots of fruit and veggies, this kid is a junk foodie. I don't know why but it will NOT be that way when she is here. It is a challenge to drink even water but I make myself gulp it anyway.

Feelings:

Feeling worried! I put together our registry & realized just how much we need to do before our little bambino arrives…and it’s a lot. We still need to get furniture ( well a bassinet & mini crib), set up and organize her things, wash the tiny baby clothes we’ve got so far, purchase various baby gear.

Thankfully we will be having a baby shower, to offset the cost of a newborn & some of the things we need. I am not looking forward to this 2 1/2 hour party to be stared at  & to be the center of attention and asked to open gifts. Fingers crossed I handle it well when the day comes.

YAY to being 25 week !!
