First off, if you are ever looking for an effective line to keep creepy guys in bars away from you, I highly suggest "I'm pregnant". I know this because I, along with many other friends, went to Chicago this weekend for our dear friend Jenni's bachelorette party. Luckily, I had another pregnant buddy there. I think both of us thought we'd be 'lame' and head back to the hotel early each night, however we managed to make it to 1:00am on Friday and Saturday. Mostly because the rest of the gang were pretty entertaining. I was a little nervous that I would be tired/queasy the entire weekend, but I managed my symptoms pretty well and enjoyed myself. Didn't hurt that most of the group were suffering on Saturday so there was a lot of napping going on.
Tomorrow, we head to Memphis in May for the BBQ competition; I am super excited! This is my first time going, although I think it's the third year that Nick's family has competed. My parents and aunt and uncle will also be joining us so it should make for a fun weekend. I am determined not to let my upset pregnant stomach keep me from eating delicious, delicious BBQ. I will persevere. :)
How Far Along: 6 weeks, 4 days - I think.
Size of Baby: a pea (gives new meaning to the phrase peas in a pod)
What I'm Doing: Taking a quick break from work. This morning has involved more discussions about fleas in the building than my poor self can take. Including someone showing me their flea bites. Ew.
Cravings: Cranberry juice, Cran-Apple juice, Cran-Raspberry juice, Cran-Apple-Raspberry juice. Anything Cranberry related. Other than that, my food choices have dwindled considerably to mostly bland foods. Oatmeal. Toast. Crackers. Bananas. Sigh...
Sleep: It seems like the pregnancy exhaustion comes in waves - I'll be fine for most of the day and then all of the sudden it hits and I can barely make it to the bed before passing out.
Sex of Babies: Unknown
Symptoms: morning/all day sickness (no puking yet, though! as long as I eat a small amount every 1-2 hours), fatigue, cramping, I've had a couple more instances of bleeding, too.
Fetal Movement: none
What I'm Looking Forward To This Week: BBQ! Slabs-a-Smoking placing high again at Memphis in May. Spending time with both sides of the family and Nick. Our second ultrasound.
Best Moment of The Week: Seeing the babies on the ultrasound is pretty incredible, especially hearing the heartbeats!
Special Thanks To: Way too many to list individually this week so let's just say everyone! Seriously, you all have been super supportive and Nick and I appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
