pregnancy update

last night i was feeling pretty sorry for myself. i was sick almost all day, and finally was reallllly sick last night. i was a big baby and cried. i told jared that i hate being pregnant. i joked with my family about my stomach sticking out after thanksgiving dinner, but now its almost a week later and it hasn't gone away. i didn't eat THAT much. and between yesterday and today, it has seemed like my meds weren't working quite like i am used to. so i guess what i am saying is the combination of getting sick and getting fat really depresses me. i've got a couple girlfriends nearing the end of their pregnancies and i am reminded that the entire thing stinks. my friends, i am not one of those girls that love being pregnant. i hate it. i just need my girlfriends that are at the end of their pregnancies to go ahead and have their darling little babies so i can be reminded of the outcome, and not of each crummy stage.

this morning i curled up on the couch in my pajamas and went through a baby name book. it lifted my mood. we had porter's name picked out before we were even pregnant so we've never gone through the name picking process before, really. it was fun. i emailed jared all the names i picked to see which he liked. he is convinced it is a girl this time. i came across a girl name that i hadn't considered before that i really like, and luckily it was one he likes too. but, unlike him, i was feeling like it's a boy today. boy would be easier- i have everything. girl would be funner- i get to shop. i am excited because i am finding out what it is in about two weeks. i am so glad i will know before christmas. i'm just a tad impatient, that's all.

well, i don't want to be too depressing, so i will lighten the mood by sharing this holiday YouTube video with you. i think it is pretty funny. thanks, sarah for sharing it with me. i laughed right out loud at this one.

I'm SO with you on not loving being pregnant, and I don't even get sick. I am trying to convince this little girl to come ASAP, so hopefully when she does you will have a little bit of hope for the outcome! Hope you feel better soon!

I loved that video as well. Even though I am the one who would be in the doghouse for lame gift giving and Kevin for sure would not. Hopefully this year I will do a better job.

Sorry you are feeling so lame. The things we go through, I tell ya!!! :) You already know it is worth it though. Good luck!

Poor Stacey! I haven't gotten sick with either pregnancy but my gag reflex is very sensitive and many of my fav foods just sound gross right now. I need food with flavor-- if I could eat Mexican and Thai every day, I would love to do that. My problem is also sleep -- I woke up to help Jackson in the night, and could not go back to sleep. Also, I have never had so many colds and things as when I am pregnant. Just was sick for 5 days over thanksgiving b/c of sleep depr, etc. Hang in there-- hopefully the 2nd trimester treats you better!

PS. I'm curious how you will know the sex in Dec -- will you be 4 months in Dec? I didn't find out until 4 mos-- good luck, boy girl, its all good news, right?
