Very First Photo

I have not been a very good blogger this summer and I think I know why.......

I have felt like BLAH on a stick for what seems like forever. So the good news is, We get a new little baby in our family this winter! And some more good news, I have started to feel slightly back to myself this week(12 weeks) YAY! I have heard that you tend to forget the ugly side of pregnancy once you have had the baby and a few years goes by. I think that is exactly what happened to me. I do not remember feeling so yucky with Bry. It's like 24/7 carsickness with no appetite. I have been living on rice crispy cereal, toast and crackers for weeks now. I never actually throw up so I guess I should consider this a bonus? I am very sleepy and the only time a feel good is when I am asleep, so of course I am sleeping a lot these days. Good thing Bry still takes 3-4 hour naps daily because then her momma also gets a 3 hour nap every day. I have tried all the remedies: Sea bands on my wrist, ginger honey tonic, small meals, lemon oil aromatherapy, meditation and I have decided that nothing really works and that "morning sickness" needs to run its course and be done with. And hopefully(crossing my fingers) I am done with it. I have been thinking that maybe it is a good thing to feel sick. My doctor said it is a good sign and means your baby is doing what it is supposed to be doing. So I will just think of it like that for now.

I'm done complaining but I am glad I wrote some of this down because then maybe this won't slip my memory again. We are super excited to give Brylee a brother or sister, and I think she is excited too. Whenever I ask her if she wants a brother or sister she always, every time says "SISTER!" I guess we will wait and see.

This is the 9 week ultra sound :)
