Baby J:
Well right now our little Baby James looks somewhat like a tadpole and is the size of an apple or orange seed....really it's so tiny??? This week the baby is developing it's heart (while it steals mine) and it's brain and spinal cord. Grow Baby J grow!!
Family News: So for the weekend we took off to South Alabama Speedway for Colt's race. Man oh man, was it HOT!! But Colt was such a good husband he tried to make sure I stayed cool as much as possible, as I had heard it was dangerous to get my body over heated. So for the first weekend ever I just sat around in the hauler with fans and lots of bottled water and didn't really get up for my chair. I can only imagine what Wes and Big J were thinking. "Man she's lazy this weekend". I'm pretty sure Terry (Colt's Dad) was taking good note as to the difference. A couple hours into our day at the track, Colt finally came and told me that he just had to spill the beans to his Dad. He just wanted his Dad to know what was going on, and I guess another person to make sure another person knew to take extra special care of me. (Insert true princess feeling here..haha) Colt wasn't quiet sure before he told his Dad how he would take it. But was excited to find out. We were both thrilled so that his Dad was beyond excited. Not that he wouldn't have been, but it somehow took us by surprise his amount of excitement. Now the hard part. He has to hold it for a week until Cheryl flies in next Friday.
As for my parents: My mom had good speculation. She and I are so close. But she was beyond herself when I told her the good news. My Dad, I think he's still in shock, but I think once we get further in he'll be more excited. He's begged for grandkids and talked about having them for years..the day finally came and I kind of expected cartwheels. Like I said, I think it's just shell shock. He was just bummed he couldn't tell anybody yet. But understood how important it was to see that lil heartbeat first.
What's up with me:
Saturday my Aunt Flow never showed and still hasn't. So I guess that was really mental confirmation for me that yes, I really am prego! Of course I went and bought more pregnancy test and took another 2 test on Sunday just to confirm I was still pregnant. This time I had Colt do the reading just because I was so scared my body might have changed it's mind. This week I made my first trip to the OB/GYN not for the pregnancy part, but because I thought maybe my bladder infection came back and I called them and they told me to just come in rather than going to my family doctor. I had such a crazy amount of back pain (not intense..but like a period back pain) that I was worried maybe my kidneys were bothering me. So I went go all that taken care of. Nothing major. I was kindly hoping they would have did something with the pregnancy to give me confirmation. But nope. LOL! Oh well! So anyways turns out the back pain is really just an early pregnancy thing. This week has been filled by sooooo much bloating. I've noted my weight every morning and by the afternoon I've gained almost 3 to 4 lbs from bloating and water weight. So uncozy. I've been kicking the exercise routine. Finally got back up to walking 2 miles with the exhaustion level finally kicking in. I even started going for swims at my parents since it's a good exercise. No morning sickness...well yet. Every morning I've woke up and felt a small level of nausea, and it's been building stronger and stronger each day. Today I finally felt like I could toss my cookies but didn't. Wheeeww, that was close. I wonder how much longer before I actually do? Another thing as I'm wrapping up week 5, round ligament pain. Owie! Not too painful but not exactly fun. That sharp second of pain below my belly button in intervals is not exactly what I expected. By my neighbor said its perfectly normally, and I'll go through spurts of growing and stretching in there. Colt said if I'm already complaining I might not make it the 9 months. LOL! Then I had to explain that I'm stretching internally and how it all works then he understood. I did take my first pic this week. It will be a while before I start to show, but I have noticed I have a small raised area enough to feel right at my pelvic bone. You can't see it really, but defiantly feel it. It's my favorite thing! No food cravings yet, just trying to make myself eat super healthy with lots of veggies and fruit.
Oh tonight we're telling Cheryl!! We've decorated the future baby room with balloons and a banner and asking her to go get something out of it. Colt and I are going to try and secret code word it so that I can set up the flip camera in the room to record her reaction! I'll post pictures and video if we get it soon!!
