We got to see baby last Tuesday, and hear the perfect little heartbeat. Although, they didn't tell us anything was wrong- I still don't feel reassured and feel like doom is coming. Hopefully I'll feel a little better once 12 weeks passes by. I've also been thinking about a genetics test, not to find out the gender, but to make myself feel a little better. I don't understand why I feel this way as it's my first child, never experienced any loss.
Also, Dear pregnancy hormones: That dream I had this morning was nice..... Although next time can we star not someone I don't know and put my SO instead. I don't like drooling over another mans "manly parts"...
Dear Diary, Today the dog decided to randomly throw up on her bed right after lunch. While violently gagging, I managed to toss the bed and her toy that got barf on it outside. It will remain there until DH gets home from work. Signed, Sympathy Puker
Dear diary, I had to move my husbands car this morning and it smelled so bad I almost lost my breakfast. He left Chickfila from the night before in the 90 car all night. I had to drive with my head out the window. I think I'm a permant shade of green.
After being vegetarian For almost 8 years. I now crave and eat meat. Anything baby wants, baby gets. The only problem is,right after eating anything meaty, I puke.
Anyway I feel like I have been missing out coz it tastes so good (no regrets for having chosen to not eat meat for 8 years, it's still the best decision I could have ever made). Till then, bring on the roasted chicken.
Thanks for this ridiculous sense of smell. Having no sense of smell for 28 years and then suddenly the nose of a hound, I'm comparable to a newborn calf learning to stand. Last week, I smelled broccoli for the first time. Not knowing what "smelling" felt like, I thought I was fainting, or the house was on fire, or like those animals who start panicking for no reason before a natural disaster. I ran frantically around the house until I ran past the microwave and figured it out. Now I can't stop smelling the dog because I love the way he smells for some reason. Both Moose and the neighbors are looking at me weird.
PS- your dad had a dream last night that you could talk and I secretly named you "gig" behind his back. yeah, I'm not too sure about him either.
*lurking*
This is the most hysterical thing I have read all day. You win for today.

@Myelhsa, that has got to be the funniest thing ever. BUT I started crying because I was laughing so hard..and then I couldn't stop crying for no reason. And having to explain why I was crying to the husband was quite lovely.
After a solid 6 weeks of vomiting, we have maintained a solid routine of not quite making it to the bathroom, cleaning up the vomit, chucking again due to the smell, cleaning that up.. chucking again... Until we have made our way from the bathroom door to the toilet. Such a pleasant start to every morning.
Gassed myself out in the shower this morning too, turns out I probably should have paid attention in science about hot air rising and held that baby in till I was out, lesson learnt. Anyone else think pregnancy farts smell like cat poo??
Dreamt the boyfriend cheated on me too, literally woke up slapped him, dumped his ass, cried, apologised, growled him for laughing, cried again and begged for forgiveness all within 5 minutes.
I should probably just lock myself in a room for the next 6 months so no one has to experience anymore of my hormonal pregnantness.
SO is starting to get on my nerves. I'm thinking about plotting his demise. Just kidding I couldn't live without him- but seriously he needs to chill the eff out or I may do some harm.
Food is starting to look semi appealing. Unless it's chicken- who invented the stuff. It's seriously gross looking, gross smelling and just gross.
Currently craving grape kool-aid.... Pizza sounds nice too- who cares if it was dinner last night- I want pizza and kool-aid: if I could id make kool-aid pizza... NOTE- remember to find a recipe on Pinterest :>
Also, yesterday we spoke about dreams staring men other than my SO other. I'm SUPER glad you decided to listen to me.... Not.... Please inform me why I woke up feeling guilty this morning. Oh that's right, because the star of my dream last night was someone I've crushed on for years and we both have SO's... Subconscious you are on my list. :-L
Hilarious!!!! I couldn't stop laughing at 3 am and thought I woke hubby up! *as if farts aren't bad enough, add vinegar
11w 5d Dear diary,
I'm hungry and nothing sounds good at all, except that bag of salt and vinegar chips I ate today. I'm paying the price tonight. Apparently, the dog and my 2 year old don't appreciate my gas either. I'd leave too if I could.
I need real food!!!

I enjoyed every second of my first pregnancy. So much so, I would tell everyone how much I loved it and couldn't wait to experience it again.
This pregnancy is very different. I feel horrible on a daily basis. If I'm not nauseous, I'm bloated, or constipated. My boobs are already enormous. I'm just uncomfortable constantly already.
Feeling this way makes me feel guilty. I've found myself counting down the weeks until I get my body back and feel somewhat normal again. And then I remember the postpartum hormones and I dread that too.
Last night, I ate something that didn't sit that well, which normally would bum me out! However, it caused me to poop...all night. And nomally THAT would bum me out too! BUT did you read that? I actually POOPED. ALL NIGHT.
Upside: I woke up almost, for a second, feeling like I lost 50% of this blump. Glorious.
Downside: I was starving (and panicked) at 5 am and had to order a ridicuously expensive room service (out of country).
Love,
It's better to have pooped and not slept than to never poop at all....
Today my partner took me to the cinema. Somehow I managed to cry in Jurassic park......... He then bought me a hot water bottle and I was so happy! So warm on my belly until it went cold and I burst out crying. Again.
Cats almost out of the bag! Today we share with both sides of the family the good pregnancy news. Longest secret I've ever kept!
I'm excited for my dad and my in-laws to know, but secretly most excited for my sister in law to stop suggesting diet tips because she thinks I'm simply getting too chubby. I just want to scream "it's a baby blump.... Back off!!!"
Today I told the world of your existence. I know that must have been really stressful for you, but did we need to eat the WHOLE pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream?
Granted, it was delicious, but I still feel like we could have saved half for dinner.
Sincerely, No hunny, the pint wasn't full when I bought it.
Dear diary, After recently kicking daughter out of our bed due to her sleeping crazily, she's still not eased to the idea of having to sleep on her own. In a battle to make sure she doesn't sneak in our bed, she kept me up until 6am this morning !! Victory because she slept on her bed!! But a total loss because I'm so tired and have to get ready for a party now but on the plus side too she made me finally hungry after just having cereal all day to get the will to eat a bowl of spaghetti at 3am!!! Oh man! But was Bebe oh so happy!!!
My husband used to call me - jokingly- heart of stone. Now I can't watch a single thing without it making me cry. Who is this person you have made me? Who cries at dog food commercials? We are a pet free house!!
We told parents and in laws about baby today. We were on a boat with my mom. I'm pretty sure she almost fell out. Still taking 3-4 hour naps every day. Still sleeping 10 hours a night at least. Thank god for not working in the summer. Now... Do I buy the fetal Doppler and hide it from my hubby who thinks it's silly and will just worry me more? Or do I just leave it in my Amazon cart forever...
This bloat is killing me. I have been upgraded from regular work pants to yoga pants because I literally cannot breathe in regular pants. Plus side: I'm more confortable, also when I poo it makes me able to breathe. Downside: I have no need to poo.
Day two of this 7month looking blump. We need to invest in gas x.
No sexual dreams last night, I know that I was complaining in my last two entries..... I kind of miss them now- adds excitement to my life.
I feel like I'm going through menopause with these hot flashes. Please someone dump cold water on me! I'll do the ice bucket challenge again. No questions asked! Ok maybe a couple.
If my mother asks me one more time if I have decided on a nursery theme I will scream. I've told her three times that I will wait til we have a house and I know the gender... Watch next time I visit her she will ask me again.
Rant entry over.
I think ice cream is needed. Also, a shower- but I'm too bloated to move.
10 weeks 2 days
Dear Diary,
I thought I could go without my unisom last night. I was wrong. I didn't sleep well at all and today I'm experiencing nausea for the first time in weeks. Unisom is a miracle drug and I can't wait to take it tonight. I also have the glucose tolerance test today. Not looking forward to it at all.
Thank goodness the nauseousness and dizziness seems to have subsided...hopefully for more than just today. Because food is actually looking good. smells weird...but looks good. In fact everything smells weird. I can deal with the super sense of smell I now have. But, man, I can't stand the smell of me. What is up with all this pooping and gas. Not cute. Seriously.
Also, have you seen my sex drive? yeah. me neither.
I woke up this morning tightly wrapped up in a blanket. Why? Apparently my fart smelled so bad it woke up my husband. So he wrapped me up like a cocoon in attempt to contain my gas.
I woke up this morning tightly wrapped up in a blanket. Why? My husband wrapped me up into a cocoon after he woke up to the smell of my fart last night in attempt to contain my gas.
A couple nights ago, I had a very vivid dream that my SO was being very helpful and adorable. I wanted to show him a little appreciation by giving him a playful smack on the butt. Well, half asleep I decided to swing for the butt innocently asleep next to me, only to realize halfway through swinging my slap that his rump was on the other side of his body. So, I slapped him in the genitals. HAHAHAHA I'm sorry. It's just so funny. He made the most awful sounds - I didn't know if I should cry for being so unintentionally cruel or cry from laughter. I'm thankful the next day I was able to explain myself and he actually laughed with me.
10 weeks and 3 days. Let's try to keep daddy in commission so that baby can have a sibling in the future.
I was so excited to have an appetite this morning. I ate a waffle and had some juice then I had a yogurt smoothie. I was very pleased with myself since this baby has wanted to eat NOTHING. As I'm brushing my teeth, I proceed to begin a violent vomit session. I had yet to vomit this whole pregnancy.
Thank you baby for that wonderful hope of enjoying food only to rip it away.
Sincerely, A Very Hungry Mama

A) Where's my personal chef to make me all this awesome food I'm suddenly craving??? I don't have the patience to make an omelet with bacon, bell peppers and chicken. Or the fresh baked cookies I'm dying to have even though I know they'll make me sick. Stupid morning sickness.
Since when is my 1.5 year old son old enough to need a big boy bed?? I found him running around his room yesterday morning instead of in his crib where I left him the night before. What is this nonsense??? His mattress is now lowered completely to the floor.
C) Why are my dogs already cuddling with my blump?? It's cute and all, but my bladder isn't a huge fan!
Sincerely, Feed me, stop growing up and get off my bladder!!
Got into a multi-day argument with my stepson who thinks croissants should be split evenly between the 3 of us. I ate half of them anyway, because, shut up.
Also saw a message from my MIL to my SO last night in which she was incredibly proud of herself for keeping our secret for the past three whole days. Uh oh...
HOW am I supposed to hide this from my coworkers? The bump is already too big. I think people are on to me, because WHO wears a giant oversized black blazer during summertime in Texas? WHO? I can't decide if it's better to wait things out a week or let everyone in my life think I have a newfound attachment to donuts.
Speaking of donuts, sweets give me food processing issues, and so do healthy things. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO EAT? You can't live on air. Everything sounds disgusting. On a good note, I'm still holding at my pre-pregnancy weight, but miss the taste of food. Now I know why those skinny supermodels look so miserable.
Sincerely,
Bumpy, Brain Dead, and Hungry but not Hungry

I HEARD THE HEARTBEAT TODAY!!!! For the first time!!! Midwife offered to try but warned me that we may not hear it. I knew that could be the case. And at first, we heard it faintly. But then, there it was, nice and fast and loud!!
Dear diary, yesterday I bailed on work 90 minutes early with a lame, made up excuse. Why? To get into pajamas (at 5:30pm..), eat leftover pizza, and catch up on The Bachelorette. My teenage self would be impressed.
