I'm only happy when it rains...

Ok, that may sound strange, and normally it would not be true. But when I don't feel good, I just can't enjoy sunshine. This morning I felt like crap. Corinn decided to wake up early again. I was already running late. It was raining. And a truck with a boat was stalled on the freeway. I was 18 minutes late. So normally, yeah, I would be cursing the rain. But I'm actually thankful that the sun isn't shining. It just gives me a headache and makes me even more nauseous.

I got some of those Preggie Pops from Motherhood this weekend. Yesterday I had a raspberry one and I was pretty good. Not sure if it actually relieved my morning sickness though, as I usually throw up first thing after using the bathroom. But this morning I grabbed another one and man, was it NASTY! I looked at the packet and realized it must have been the ginger flavored one. Ewwww. That is the grossest taste! I had a couple of licks and had to throw it away. I knew I needed something though, so I grabbed a peach tea and some blueberry yogurt on my way out. That yogurt was so yummy, and I feel much better now.

Don't blame it on me...

Eeek, I know I haven't posted in a while. But this pregnancy is taking a lot out of me...literally. I throw up every morning now, sometimes more than once. And by lunch (whether I eat something first or not), my stomach hurts so bad, I can't tell if it's hunger pains or if I need to make a beeline for the bathroom. I usually have to sit and take some deep breaths and go grab something to eat quickly, before the pains return. Then I usually feel fine for a while, until about 2:30 when I feel like I could fall asleep at my desk. That's why I'm here typing this now.

I had a nice Mother's Day. My mom came over and we went to eat at Olive Garden. Ros got me a $100 gift card to Motherhood Maternity and a sweet card, plus a card "from Corinn". My mom gave me a nice card too. I got her a cute summery purse and a Brad Paisley CD. Then we played a round of TV Scene It...my mom won. She was happy cause we always kick her butt at Music Scene It.

For some reason Corinn has become an earlybird. She got up at 6:30 yesterday, and came in our room, ready for her morning orange juice. Ros told her to go back to bed, but after I got in the shower, apparently she decided to get back up, so he got her some juice and one of her DVDs going for her. Then last night after I got home and was relaxing on the couch watching 90210, I looked over at Corinn and she was just sitting there, looking like she was all into the show. I thought that was cute. Next thing I knew, she was asleep. After Ros was finished with his lessons, about 8:00, she was still on the couch so we put her to bed. So of course, she got up at 6:30 again this morning. This time I got up and got her juice and turned on the TV to the Disney Channel. When I was leaving she was sitting there watching Mickey Mouse and I got her some grapes and kissed her bye. Of course Ros was still asleep...I'm gonna have to get onto him. He's been coming to bed at like 2 or 3 in the morning. That's gonna have to stop. Corinn may just be ready to go to bed early and get up early. And I'm not gonna have her sitting there watching TV til 9 or 10 when he decides to get up, and then even longer while he decides to go in the studio. Nope. He may think of it as a nuisance to have her get up early while he wants to sleep, but too bad. He doesn't have to stay up til the wee hours of the morning. Ugh, makes me angry thinking about it. So I'll stop...

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Well, I finally got to the doctor yesterday. I'm not as far along as I thought I was. The doctor said my uterus didn't feel as big as it should be if I was 12 weeks, so they did an ultrasound. I got to see the tiny little embryo and beating heart. Because of its measurements, I'm about 8 weeks. It still seems very strange to me though because I could have sworn I didn't have a period at all in March. In fact, I remember being at the travel agency and sitting there having cramps, thinking I was about to start my period. But I never did. Is it possible to ovulate and conceive without having a period first? It just seems odd to me. Anyway, my due date is December 12.
We registered Corinn for kindergarten yesterday too. Well, we didn't get to finish because she needs three more shots, so Ros will take her to get that done, then she can be registered. I can't believe my baby is going to be starting school.
Rhonda moved out Saturday. Woohoo! Ros and I are so glad to have our house back. I can already see a change in him; he's much less stressed. I know it was taking its toll on both of us.
I have started getting sick. I threw up for the first time Monday, once Tuesday, and twice this morning. I hope it doesn't last forever. I just have another month to go before I reach my second trimester, so hopefully it will go away then.
