First Morning Sickness

Well there was no Black Friday shopping for this momma!  I ended up getting sick late Thursday night (no I really don't believe it was morning sickness). (1) I think I ate too much (2) I think I ate more variety of foods than I usually do. Which leads to  (3) Getting sick at 4am and being sick the rest of the day.   I couldn't keep anything down.  Towards the afternoon I was throwing up clear water.  So I stopped drinking water, and eventually my stomach calmed down and I was able to eat a handful of saltine crackers and some sprite.

On to the good news though-

Matt has been off of work since Monday (thats not really good news considering that drastically cut his pay check)  But he got to go to the doctor with me. Wednesday I had my glucose test. I passed!!  My blood draw before "the drink" was 88, and after "the drink" an hour later it was 99.  It had to be under 140 to pass.  GO ME! 

While we were waiting the hour, I called my parents to see how they were doing (dad was recovering from shingles), and I found out they were on their way to NC for Thanksgiving.  Mom and doctor had cleared dad to be around prego daughter so they got to come.  Very exciting since I havent seen them since we told them we were pregnant.

Matt and I also got to go to the Christmas parade together (this is a first for our town parade since he is normally working.)

Other good news of the visit- Matt got to feel the baby move for the very first time (well the first time that he could 100% say "That's my boy.... or girl!"  He didn't act super excited, but according to this post he put on facebook right after- he was pretty excited :)

 

I'm pretty excited myself that he finally got to feel the baby moving.  He/she has been moving alot more lately.  It is such a strange feeling.  My mom was also able to feel the baby move while she was visiting.  My dad didn't get to though.  So hopefully at Christmas time he will get a chance to get kicked around a few times too. 

 

In other good news/sad news... I was looking at my pregnancy app yesterday (I've been all screwed up since Dr. H changed my due date- I need to get back into the swing of taking pictures) and guess what I realized?!?

 

We are down to double digits!  DOUBLE DIGITS people.  My due date is in less than 100 days.  I can't believe it.
