1. I couldn't handle my bathroom that is connected to our room anymore. (all my clothes and shoes took up the whole closet. Dan had to use the guest room as his closet. He also just made the guest bath his own.) We have switched! I have now moved my things into both bedroom and bathroom. I don't step foot into Dan's new bathroom which was my old one.
2. I absolutely can't handle mint. I have switched to kids watermelon flavored toothpaste. (thanks for the introduction Laura.. well Laura's kids) Fruity gum has always been flavor of choice.. so that's no discovery.
3. I hate the thought or smell of meat. I have gone fully veggies, cheese and noodles.
4. I DON'T throw up.. unfortunately I've thrown up more this last month than I have in my entire life. (well as far as I can remember) And I do not recommend throwing up in the shower. Worst experience of my life!
5. I have issues with the smell of certain things.. like certain soaps, perfume, mint, meat, fast food, anything good.
6. My couch and tv have become my best friends.
7. Sugar makes my saliva sweet. It makes me gag.
8. I really love chewing on ice.
9. I LOVE having the windows open in the house and in the car. MMMMM fresh air!
10. OH last one. There's a tiny little person growing inside of my body.
YIPPEE!! After trying for 18 months and getting tested and all that kind of junk.. we have FINALLY succeeded in getting pregnant.
Let me explain some discoveries:
1. I couldn't handle the smell of my bathroom. It was an instant vomit trigger every time I went in there. I thought it was the smell of toilet water.. but then realized after we switched, it was the air freshener that was in there. We went to a gas station last weekend in Lehi and I had to pee!! So I go in and it was the most difficult experience of my life.. they had the same air freshener in there and I start dry heaving.. I had already started my business.. so I had to go as fast as I could.. IT SUCKED.
3. I'm not a vegetarian. This is only Temporary. I am usually a meat-a-holic. That sounds gross. I'm gonna stop talking about meat. My stomach and eyes.. and I guess nose just can't handle it right now.
7. I love sugar.. but it seems like every time I have something sweet, there is a film in my throat and when I have to swallow.. it's the worst.
I think everything else is a DUH.
I went into the Dr. today for my check up.. my mom had to come with me because Dan had to work.. but we got to hear the heartbeat! It took her a while to find it.. which made me super nervous.. (but I had just said to my mom minutes before, "what if there's no heartbeat?") but she finally found it.. it was loud, fast, and strong. what a RELIEF! They didn't do an ultrasound though.. that made me sad.. but the heartbeat was still awesome. There is a video.. but unfortunately it shows more of me than I would like anyone to see. Only me, Dan, my mom and the doc get to hear it.
If all of you reading this already knew I was pregnant.. I'm not surprised. My mother likes to talk! We had to tell my family right away because I have been super sick and unable to work for a while.. and we had to tell Dan's family of course! I've had people text me randomly saying.. "I heard something about you!" or "your mom told me to ask you what's going on in your life." I love my mother and her ability to keep a secret! :) I really don't mind that people were told though.
But I will tell you what.. being pregnant is probably my least favorite thing in the world. Maybe its just all the nausea.. which I absolutely HATE. I hope once the 2nd trimester starts my attitude about all of this will change. I am SO excited to be a mom and have a baby.. but being pregnant SUCKS. I know it'll all be worth it though.
I am currently 11 1/2 weeks. The next trimester is SO close! If you do the fruit thing.. it's the size of a lime.
Baby Morris is due October 13th.
Stay tuned for updates and gender in the future. We've got a while before that is known. I wish I knew now so I could start getting stuff!! Oh well.
Anyway.. Welcome to the Morris life.
