8 weeks, 6 days....

My morning sickness is worse.... :-(  The nausea is annoying!  It strikes anywhere and everywhere; morning, noon and night!  I'm nauseous when I'm hungry, when I'm full, when I'm thirsty, when I've just had a drink... >sigh<  This really is a different pregnancy. 

I had a tiny subchorionic hemorrhage (it's when the yolk sac or placenta detaches from the uterine wall) last week.  Scary.  My doctor told me to take things super easy, no physical exertion, if possible.  Basically, bed rest.  I didn't mind really. It was... restful! :-)  I got to sleep and pretty much do nothing the whole week!  When I saw my doctor this week, she checked and it was gone! Thank God it resolved on its own! 

I'm ok to move around now, but because of the nausea, i just can't do it.  Just a whiff of something unpleasant for my nose and it's over. I need to go home...

It seems like Gabe and Rafa are more aware than Mica that I'm pregnant.  They actually ask me about the baby in my tummy... Mica just kinda ignores it... haha  :-)  Although he's the one who's more conscious about not hitting my tummy or sitting on my lap. 

I look at my boys and I am just overwhelmed with how big they are!  They've grown so much in such a short time, it's crazy!  Hopefully, this little one I'm carrying now will grow as fast and as strong as his/her brothers! :-)

4 Weeks, 5 Days (give or take a week)

I'm 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant! =)  I can hardly believe it... So far, the ultrasound shows only one child (tiny! - maybe not even 2mm wide) in the 11.4mm gestational sac.  I'm praying that God will grant me a safe, healthy pregnancy.  I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for only one baby, not twins ;-p  haha 

How is this pregnancy different from my previous ones?  I'm more emotional.  I seriously cry at the drop of a hat!  At a commercial I've seen before, during the sermon at mass!  It's almost ridiculous!  But it's just one of those things, I guess =)  

Not smoking isn't so hard - especially since my little one doesn't seem to like it at all!  Even just the smell of cigarette smoke makes me nauseous!  Crazy!  Pushing me around already!  haha

We're praying for a girl, but a boy would be awesome, too! How fun it's going to be!
