Bean Burritos are wonderful!

Well, food has stayed down for 2 days, which is good. Saltines are my new friend. And my wonderful husband said that he is more than willing to get up on Saturday mornings to make sure I don't have to get up to eat, he will bring me breakfast in bed! How romantic : ) I am preferring bland foods right now in the mornings, so I had plain oatmeal with toast with peanut butter. DELICIOUS! He earned his day of golf that he's playing today. I feel bad though, because I'm only really hungry for certain things and it can change at a moment's notice. For dinner last night, Baja Fresh sounded amazing, and luckily everyone else in the house thought it sounded pretty good too. (we're staying with my parents until December, incase you didn't know) I just feel bad that my food desires are so unpredictable. Well anyways, Baja Fresh's black bean burrito was just DELICIOUS, although I wasn't able to eat the whole thing. Oh well, I had the rest for lunch today! Their Salsa Baja was amazing as well. I may crave this again!

I've been trying to keep up with reading about the daily development of our baby. Apparently (and do NOT ask me how they know this!) they can detect brain waves at this point. Already! That's amazing. I'm excited for the ultrasound on Thursday and to meet our midwife!!

Food issues

Well, I slept with Saltines next to my bed last night (thank you Jennifer for the idea) and it seems to work.  Although, I think I will also sleep with a bottle of water next to my bed, because my mouth was super-dry after a few crackers!  I wasn't filled up, but it was enough calories to tide me over until I showered and got ready and made breakfast.  My taste in foods have changed.  I was afraid this would happen.  Previously delicious foods are no longer as tasty.  I ordered a meatball sub at Subway last weekend and couldn't even finish it.  (they used to be my fave, even though I know they're gross!)  It's weird the things that smell and taste delicious and the things that now are gross.  I have been craving bread and toasted anything.  The smell of toast is DELICIOUS.  Peanut butter too, but not jelly.  Oh and what grosses me out?  The smell of the fridge.  I don't know, it's like too many smells at once.  It's hard to pack my lunch in the morning, while I hold my breath!

Of Course

Alright, so of course yesterday I blog about how great my pregnancy is going and how I haven't had any morning sickness.  Apparently I did not knock on wood hard enough!!!  After showering this morning, I started feeling sick while I was getting dressed.  I ran into the bathroom and sure enough, THREW UP.  Not just once, 4 or 5 times.  Great.  Well, at least I know why.  I was hungry!  I need to start eating the SECOND I get up, not waiting half an hour while I get ready.  I'm going to start sleeping with fruit or dry cereal right next to my bed.  I'll let you know how that goes tonight.  The worst part was that I had nothing at all to throw up, so it was more like dry heaving.  YUCK! 

On another note, The Office season premiere tonight!!!

Oh and we're affectionately referring to baby as Baby Balki until we know other information.  (we've been watching Perfect Strangers on DVD!!)

We're pregnant!!!

Well, we lucked out! Our first month of trying and we're officially pregnant! (it only took me about 5 positive tests and being a month late to convince myself!) I can't stand not telling anyone, so I'm starting a blog! However, I won't be posting a link to it until we reach that magic 12 week/3 month mark. Right now we're at about 7 1/2 weeks. We have our first appointment with our midwife next Thursday, we're so excited!!!

I already feel totally different. We knew almost right away that we were pregnant. We meditated together on conception and it worked! Everything about this pregnancy is positive and WANTED! We cannot wait! My body has already started to change, but not much morning sickness! (knock on wood) HOORAY!! I just have to eat when I start to feel hungry or I feel sick. However, I can no longer eat as much in one sitting. We went to Red Lobster for endless shrimp last night.....big mistake! I totally didn't get my money's worth! Oh well....
