It's the Weekend!

It's finally the weekend! Today I went to Des Moines for Part 2 of a 2 part training and thankfully B was good to me today and I didn't feel too nauseus and the fatigue was not too bad after about 10am. The fatigue is not going to stay away for long...I can feel it. Since my symptoms were somewhat decreased today, paranoid me took yet another pregnancy test just to make sure everything was still in working order. The paranoia was without cause as the "pregnancy" line was again very dark and showed up faster than the control line. I think we're good. ;-) Only 5 more days until our ultrasound! Yesterday and today the baby was CRAVING veggies...and still is today. Specifically cucumbers peeled, sliced, and with a little salt on like when I was growing up - just right. At least the baby is craving something healthy. I talked to a woman today who said her sister craved and ate mcflurries every other day and gained 85lbs (and then lost it) when she got pregnant. No way!! My goal is to (remember - I'm tall) stay under 175ish lbs. That allows for MUCH room to gain a healthy amount of weight for the baby and not become a humungous fatty. I'll do whatever is necessary to keep me and the baby healthy...but not gain a ton of weight. Unfortunately, I started this pregnancy about 6lbs over what I normally like to be at so now that I've gained about 2 'baby' lbs, my jeans are starting to get pretty tight. I told Adam tomorrow that I need to invest in some pants. I am not going to buy maternity pants, but instead I'm going to buy "fat jeans" and "fat work pants" since I am not supposed to really start gaining much for another couple of months yet.

We are intermittently discussing how we're going to tell our parents. At this time next week, Adam's parents will know! We cannot WAIT to see the look on their faces. Some of our ideas include a framed picture of the ultrasound....a onsie with gma/gpa on it....or something along those lines. It's going to be the best weekend. Tomorrow we are going to a liquidation sale in Rock Island where they have leather products and electronics on SUPER sale. We hope to find a good video camera since we'll soon be having lots to record! (NOT the birth, however.) ;-)

Well, I suppose we should get back to our easy, relaxing night in front of the TV and hoping that the bean and ham soup I had for dinner didn't upset the baby...I might lose that one...might not have been my best idea ever. More soon!
