How do I feel? Tired. Haha! This too shall pass. It is HARD work growing a baby! I was grateful, and thought I was going to be lucky, when I was tired a couple weeks ago. Some days I will be fine, and others I can't hardly put one foot in front of the other. I have occasional nausea, but nothing too bad. I haven't had to stop what I am doing or take any medicine for it. Usually I just get nauseated if I get too hungry. Which I am hungry every 2 hours or so.
I am still running, and plan on continuing until either Matt or my body tells me no more. Matt will probably tell me no first. He isn't too crazy about it, but everything I have researched has said it is safe if you were used to doing it before, which I was. The doctor said it is fine too.
I went for my first appointment on my birthday!! What a great birthday present!! The little blob was there and the heartbeat was nice and strong at 156 bpm. That is such an amazing sound. I feel so blessed that God is going to let me be a mommy again. I feel that there is no greater privilege!
I am taking my One A Day prenatal vitamins. I took those with NK and they didn't make me very sick. I am trying to drink plenty of water, because that is something they stress to you at the doctor, but I will be honest, it is hard. I like water, but remembering to drink 48-64 ounces is the difficult part.
My cravings aren't too random... chicken and hot sauce, Kit Kat bars, sweet-tarts, orange juice, Chic-Fil-A salads. Mmmm. I LOVE the side salads from Chic-Fil-A with the Berry Balsamic dressing. Yummy.
I will go back to the doctor September 19 for my next check up!

8-10 Weeks
While, we still haven't made it Facebook official, we have told our family, friends, and co workers. We are so excited about baby #2!! It still seems surreal.
How is mama feeling? Bloated... I feel like I am constantly carrying around a food baby But oh well. It just means things are growing. I haven't gained but a pound or two. & Very tired... I am so sleepy. When I am at work though, I actually feel better. I guess because I am too busy to be tired, or nauseated. On my days off though, I feel like all I could do is nap. Ha! Which is impossible with a 20 month old ruling the roost!
I am having bad dreams. I remember having them with NK and I know it is probably something to do with hormones. However, that doesn't make them any less disturbing.
I have officially lost my verbal filter. If I think it, the words are coming out. Ooops. Hopefully this won't get me into too much trouble :) I had just gained my filter back from having NK. I am a little moody, but most of my mood swings come with stress from school and I feel like they aren't so much pregnancy related.
I am still craving fried chicken and hot sauce. Another craving has been peaches and cottage cheese. This is a weird one because I have never cared anything about cottage cheese before. And Doritos... not such a healthy craving but oh well. Pregnancy cravings are crazy... because if I don't satisfy my craving nothing else tastes good or right. A week or so ago I was craving a sub. I swear I could have had the whole sub made with banana peppers, pickles, onions, jalapeños and oil and vinegar. Haha!
I haven't been able to Doppler the heartbeat at home yet, but I am trying not to panic. I know some women can't until the are 13 or 14 weeks. I will be grateful to be through the first trimester :) Luckily though, I still have practically no nausea. I will have waves occasionally from a smell or if I let myself get too hungry.
