6w5d and sick

So this is my first blog. I have done other online journals before, a while back, and just thought that now that I'm pregnant, it might be a good time to start again. I have been wanting to do a pregnancy journal but I know I don't want to do any actual physical writing. Typing is so much better, faster, easier, etc.

I came down with a cold last night. I think it's Joel's fault. He was sick last week with a cold. Mine is a head cold and all in my throat/lungs. I was coughing all night, so loud I was sure Joel would be awake with me. I thought wrong. He slept through every bout I had. A good 2 hours of full on coughing and not a stir from him. Actually at one point he asked if I was okay. I was crying because the coughing hurt so bad and I was so tired, as it was 3 a.m., and I said "It's getting to a point where it is hard to breathe." After my response I was waiting for my husband, my prince in shining armor, the love of my life Joel, to comfort me and somehow make fell better. Isn't that his job anyways? Well it never happened. He rolled over and was out. Turns out, he never even remembered this little conversation this morning, meaning he actually wasn't awake. He does this often, I should have known better. I wonder if I was dying and screaming for his rescue if he would hear me?

Well as the day progresses, I'm starting to feel a little perkier. Still sick, and tired. I know if I take a nap I'll have to start this whole process over again. I'm contemplating it. As for this pregnancy... today I'm 6 weeks 5 days. I have had quite a few of the symptoms that I have read about in What To Expect When Expecting and Your Pregnancy Week by Week. Oh, and all of the online articles I've come across. Here is everything I've experienced so far and recently: frequent urination (only around 4 weeks which probably also had to do with that fact that I was DYING of thirst that couldn't be quenched), runny nose, mild heartburn, sore boobs (non-stop), slight pulling in my uterus like stretching in there, forgetfullness, sore back, MOOD SWINGS (sorry honey), there are a few more I think but as I mentioned earlier in this sentence about forgetfullness, I can't remember them. I haven't had any throwing up. THANK THE GOOD LORD! I was a little sick to my stomach, kind of like I was car sick or hungover. It wasn't enough though that it took me down. I've been lucky so far. We went to Wal-mart and got a heating pad for my back. Man, 20 minutes with that on, awesome. My back didn't hurt at all last night, and would have slept all the way through if it weren't for being sick. Boo.

Oh yeah,

CRAVINGS!

I haven't really had any that were really pronounced like "OMG I HAVE to HAVE that right NOW! I have noticed some weird combinations that I didn't really realize I had until later. The other day I was hungry, but not for a meal, just snacks every once in a while. I just wanted something to nibble on. So, I wanted a hot pickle. NOTE: I love hot pickles, regular pickles, any pickles, always have since before I was pregnant and ate/eat them regularly, so this is nothing new. Anyways I had a few bites of pickle and decided I didn't really want that anymore, so I saved it for later. I wasn't really satisfied so I looked around in the fridge and freezer and found this IceCream we just got. Yup, I had some.. Passionate Mango is the flavor. The passionate part comes from Passionfruit, and obviously mango is mango. So the combination in my opinion is like Guava, which is delicious! So after a few bites of that, like 3, I didn't want it anymore. Put it back and had a few more bites of pickle. Then some cheese. I thought about it later and was like WOW, I'm there already?

We've been looking into what diapers we'll be using. I'm pretty sure we'll be doing cloth diapers. Probably a combination between different types. Also deciding if we'll do the cloth wipes too. The only downside to that is you always have to make your own solution for the wipe. I am not really interested in that. Its easy but I just dont want to. Lazy? Maybe.

Joel and I are still battling on the topic of ultrasounds. He doesn't want to give our baby brain damage, and I dont want to risk something being wrong, and not knowing about it. If it can be fixed we should know. I dont usually live in fear and what ifs but I'm nervous. This is my first baby and I want to know everything is ok. On the other side, if it is all perfect and dandy, what if I'm have twins! We should know about that right? Duh. I mean we cant even leave the hospital without 2 carseats. The debate will probably continue for a few more weeks. Ill blog about it some more probably.

I'm/We're soo HAPPY to be pregnant! I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this and I know that this is what I'm meant to do/be. A MOMMY. I can't wait. I know I have to, but I'm so excited!
