8 weeks, peeps!

8 weeks today-- wowza!

I am heading out with DH today to the maternity store. Not 'cause I'm fat, but because I'm uncomfortable. I need a sleeping pillow already. Whenever I try to sleep on my sides, I get pain on my hips and belly. I'm not sure if the pillow will help, but I know it can't hurt! And hey! I get to go to the maternity store--'cause I'm preggo!

Spring vacation is almost here for me as well. Thursday at 2:23pm I will be on Spring Break! I will begin with a manicure and pedicure and then the next day I leave with DH and my MIL to go to North Carolina. We are flying at 8am Friday morning and returning Sunday evening. I really hope I can handle the trip with the nausea. There is also the tricky part of hiding my PIO with all the needles from my MIL at the security check-in. ::Hmmm::

This week will be long and exhausting with many, many after school meetings. Hopefully I can make it. . . . Sandy beach???? Is that you???

Current stats:

Weight Gain: Still down about 5 pounds.

Cravings: Gatorade, Jello (green), late night ice cream (vanilla).

Nauseous: Oh my lord, yes.

Belly touches: Just DH.

Feeling: I think the new meds for the UTI are finally kicking in. I feel really nauseous most of the day and night. I am hoping this will end soon. I also get a few sharp pains in the lower belly area. Not sure if they are still RLP or something else.

Boy or girl: DH seems to think they are both boys. I'm not decided yet.

Emotional state: Exhausted and therefore on edge many times. DH is a great helper though. He's already running around and getting just about everything for me. I also told him last night how I felt 'homesick' every now and then-- even while sitting in our house! I think it's my body adjusting to the two new invaders.

OBGYN: Going to make two appointments this week.

Update:

Bought the "Dreamgenii" pregnancy pillow today at 'Pea in the pod'.

I will be taking it out of the package tonight and giving it a test run. I'll send my reviews later :)
