A Whole New World.

No we are not talking about Aladdin here, but this phrase pretty much sums up what life will be like in less than 4 months at the Stansbery home- A WHOLE NEW WORLD!
Welcome to my first official post about being pregnant!

I have been keeping a small weekly log of symptoms or events that have been going on during the pregnancy to help me remember what this experience has been like (i.e. to remember more of the good than the bad). Don't mind the small hiatus I took at the beginning of my 2nd trimester, this was the worst of my vomiting and wanting to die period, so mentally I just like to look over that period.

3- found out I was pregnant!
4- lots of staring in the mirror at my stomach and what it will look like in a few months
5 - feeling so bloated I couldn't button my pants, having serious trouble breathing, gained 5+ pounds from being bloated
6 - feeling super nauseous and threw up for first time
7 - doctors appt. took blood asked tons of questions, 1st person we told was the dentist :)
8 - threw up on way to work, losing bloated weight, new hm sweater for being pregnant
9 - didn't take vitamins, called doctor vomiting twice in one morning, threw up on way to work, Pete out of town
10- starting taking prescription for morning sicking that only sometimes helped
11- doctor visit, surprised both families at thanksgiving during blessing on food
12 - Made it Facebook Official

16- Officially lost 12 pounds from morning sickness

18 - Dr visit, tons of sneezing (15-20 a day for a week straight)
19 - felt baby kick 1st time
20 - found out gender, made gender cake to reveal to parents
21 - peter felt baby kick for first time, started wearing a bella band
22 - Tooth/Jaw pain, Acid reflux in throat, back at pre-pregnancy weight., contact issues
23 - back hurting, co-worker told me they like my new maternity clothes when I have yet to buy any!
24 - Six Months Pregnant!

It's hard for me to believe that I am already six months pregnant. I had a doctors visit last week where I was told starting next month visits move to once every two weeks! That was a reality check for both of us. My immediate thoughts were, "NO I'm not ready! This is too soon!" Somehow this really snuck up on me. We haven't really done anything yet to prepare for baby. I have been doing a lot of research but haven't committed to anything as far as cribs, strollers, and car seats go. The only thing I feel like we have an understanding of and feel good about is who baby's guardians will be if anything ever happened to us.
So I just have to remember to take it one thing at time because when I think about everything all at once, I get so overwhelmed I can't move . . . literally.

Ok, that's all for now I guess . . . Have a great week!
(I know I will because I'm starting the week with a day off work). :)
