Update on the Cletus the Fetus

Month #1:
~ Nobody told me how UNPLEASANT the first trimester is in pregnancy. Practically every morning I woke up and threw up. A yellow/green mixture which I found out to be Bile.
~ Breakfast: consists of a hard, crunchy, and dry saltine cracker. This is supposed to help with the nausea. Let me just ask, "Who wants to wake up in the morning and eat a cracker!"
~ Foreign and unrecognizable chest.
~ Eating habits: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, and bedtime snack
~ PSYCHO DREAMS!! A) I was a wizard at Hogwarts; it felt so real. B) I was fighting in a war and ended up faking a death but staying alive C) One night I had 8 hours of NON-STOP dreaming of writing a paper. This made me so angry! This dream would not go away and all I was dreaming about was typing, copying, pasting, tabbing, scrolling, printing etc.... very aggravating.
~ Naps: 2-3 a day. Sorry Eefie
~ Pre-natal visit: Told me everything I should know about being pregnant and what I should watch out for. Weighed in at 158 lbs.
Month #2:
~Had a blast telling everyone we were pregnant! We got some pretty hilarious reactions.
~Still throwing up full force
~More and more tired throughout the day. Constantly craving chili.
~1st Ultrasound of the baby! The cute little thing was the size of a gummy bear!
~Ethan brings me wheat bread now, instead of white crackers.







Month #3:
~ Nausea has begun to simmer down. Less and less throwing up in the mornings
~ Hungry all the time. Stomach gets hungry twice as fast. Eating all the time
~ HEARTBEAT!! squish, squish..........squish, squish is what it sounded like. So neat! I was almost brought to tears. I finally realized it was really in there! My cute little darling was beating it's heart out.
~ Baby is healthy & Mommy is healthy (I have actually lost some weight, it's weird)
~ Ethan has begun to talk to my belly. Actually, I don't have a belly yet, but he still talks to it.
~ Napping. Lots of napping.
~ Nightime runs to the bathroom= at least 3-4 times a night.
~ Baby is growing! About the size of a CINNIMON BEAR NOW! Actually, it's probably a lot bigger now.
~ Finally able to take my pre-natal vitamins; thank goodness.
~ Qualified for WIC and Medicaid.

Perhaps this is a more accurate picture?

Our little prince or princess

I don't think anyone can prepare you to be pregnant or have a baby or raise a child...oh man, I have done it once, but I still don't think I am quite ready for #2. I am so excited that we will have our little babes around the same age. For Fun!
