2nd day of morning sickness and I don't think I can handle this!

Today is the second day that I have been sick and I HATE throwing up. I thought for sure that since I hadn't been sick yet that I would be in the clear and not be sick at all. What I don't understand is that it's just random. Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and this morning I was folding our blankets on our chairs from last night. No smells or food are triggering these episodes just normal everyday activities. My mom read on the internet that I should be getting past the morning sickness phase but what if it just started yesterday? Today is the 10 week mark so I'm 1/4 of the way there!

Our White Christmas was Wonderful!

We left Livingston at 5:30 Tuesday night to start our road trip to new Mexico. Our first stop was in Decatur to get a couple of hours of rest until Tiff & Felix met up with us at 2am. Then we were off for the rest of our 9 hour drive! We didn't see any snow or mountains until we got into Ruidoso. We were worried that we had all driven that far to have a white Christmas and wouldn't see any snow. Then, we passed our first snow plow truck and knew that it must be "snowy" ahead. That's when I got excited! We couldn't check in for another 2 hours but Jake and I decided to find the cabin so we would know we were in the right spot. We found it alright but then...getting out of there was another story. We got stuck twice trying to go up the road because of the snow & ice on the road. Talk about being scared, all I could imagine was our car falling of the side of the mountain. I was trying to plan my exit of the vehicle!

Christmas Eve everyone wanted to go skiing so I decided that I would go up the mountain with them to get some good pics of everyone falling since I wasn't allowed to ski. Problem #1...cameras aren't made for 10,000 feet above sea level so my camera wouldn't even turn on. Problem #2...I'm sitting there trying to stay warm, look up and there is my dad, sitting there on the deck not skiing. He broke his collarbone on the 2nd trip down the mountain. Maybe lessons would have been a good idea. After taking him to the hospital that night and everyone in there having broken bones from skiing, Jacob decided that he didn't need to go skiing anymore.

Michael had to be back Sunday night to go back off shore we decided that we were heading home Saturday morning. After one day of sitting in the cabin doing nothing, dad decided he was riding home with us too. 12 hours stuck in the back seat of the car packed in like sardines wasn't the most comfortable trip but we made it. Dad and Michael were hilarious, they both smoke and said before we left New Mexico that they couldn't smoke in the vehicle because they didn't want to hurt the baby. They weren't worried about ME but the BABY. Thanks guys...love yall too!

Baby Young #1 is already getting Christmas presents!

My mom is going to have this baby spoiled before we even know what it is! She brought all of our Christmas presents up to us this weekend since we won't be home for Christmas and of course Baby Young #1 also had gifts. SHE got her first two rubber duckies and a camo onesie. I guess if it is a girl, we will have to have her name put on it in hot pink. Jacob was amazing that it was a 0-3 month onesie and we told him that it would probably be to big for HER at first. I need to bring him to Roxies so he can see how little SHE will be when she comes.


Sadie got a stocking full of toys and some bones. I told her that she probably won't be getting any more presents after this year from Grandma. Poor Sadie!!


Jacob got a really cute book called "How to be a Pregnant Father". I'll have to read it to him while he is stuck with me in the car for 8 hours on Wednesday heading to New Mexico. I'm horrible at road trips over about 3 hours so we should have fun!

Doctors appt went GREAT!!


My mom met Jacob and I at the doctors appt yesterday morning. We were there for 2 1/2 hours but we got a lot of good information and I felt so much better with this doctor than I did with the other visit that we had. The doctor and her staff were very nice and answered all of my weird questions. I'm sure they get the same questions all the time. We got our first peek at Baby Young #1 and also got to hear it's heart beat. That made it so much more real! 160 bpm...the internet says that means it's a boy but I have heard that it means a girl. Who knows?
I'm going back on January 14th to get some more tests and blood work done. The doctor said they were optional test but she suggested them to her patients. Oh, and if I get them done, I get another ultrasound that day too. I'll give some more blood for another peek at our little tadpole any day!

I'm exhausted...

I feel like I could sleep 24 hours and still not have enough rest. I go to bed early every night but it doesn't feel like its early enough.

Roxie is having her baby tomorrow morning between 5:30 and 8:30. I can't wait! Another baby for me to play with until "Baby Young #1" gets here. Maybe I can get some practice because me & crying babies haven't been a good combination in the past. Oh, or babies that spit up. I have A LOT to learn and get use to before July comes around. Everyone says "it's different when it's your baby"...I hope so!

Two more days until my doctors appt! I'll post the ultrasound pics Thursday afternoon when I get back to work.

A little disappointed and I'm getting a new doctor!!

We went to the doctors appt yesterday, drove an hour, Jacob took off work and NOTHING happened. We walked into an office with a desk & 2 chairs, they asked MAYBE 5 minutes of medical questions that they already knew from my files and said we were done. No tests, no doctor...NOTHING. Then said that the doctor would see me on the 22nd for an ultrasound. Why couldn't this all be done on the same day?? Well, I asked! She said "well, it depends on who you talk to when you call to make your appt." So basically...they aren't going to tell you anything unless you ask and lords knows, I don't have a clue about what I need to be asking. I have never been pregnant before so why couldn't that stupid girl making the appts ask me if I was 8-10 weeks along and tell me that they wouldn't do anything until then? As you can tell, I'm VERY annoyed!

This morning I called and made an appt with Dr. Patricia Laden in St. Lukes Hospital in The Woodlands. I'm going to see her on the 17th at 10am. It's amazing that this girl that I talked to asked me a bunch of questions and told me that I would need to plan on being there for a couple of hours to talk to the nurse about medical history, visit with the doctor, do blood work & an ultrasound. Now that sounds more like it!

6 Weeks Tomorrow & 34 TO GO!!

Well, I rescheduled my doctors appt for next Wednesday at 2:45 so Jacob could go with me. I guess I can wait another week! So the girls at work think it's going to be twins because none of the websites can agree if it's a girl or boy...so maybe that means both are coming. I don't know what I would do with 2 babies. I'm scared enough about having ONE.

So Thanksgiving went well. Everyone is ready to pick out baby names already. I haven't even been to the doctor & we have names picked out. Emma Lee for a girl & Jake for a boy. Trace, my nephew, told Neta that we should name it Mean Jean. He also named his pig "tailgate" so I don't think we will be taking baby name advice from him!

Nothing to exciting has been happening. I looked up what the baby looks like at 6 weeks and it's pretty scary looking.

Here is what babycenter.com has to say about it this week: How your baby's growing:This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.

We are HORRIBLE at keeping secrets!!

So much for not telling anyone until after I go to the doctor. Within 24 hours we have told, Roxie, Tiffani, Leanna, My Mom, Neta, Julie, My Dad and Nana & Pop. My mom has already picked out what she wants to be called, emailed me the baby crib bedding that she thinks we need, wants me to go to Urgent Doc to see if they will do blood work for me and pretty much begged me to tell people so she wouldn't have to keep it a secret! My dad thought I was joking at 5am this morning when I called him because I couldn't sleep. Nana & Pop started screaming they were so excited. I'm working on them moving to Livingston, they would be excellent babysitters. Neta asked me who was going to be in the delivery room (heck...I don't even want to be in there!!) and if we had picked out names yet. Roxie & Leanna didn't believe me at all. I had to swear on my life that I wasn't playing a joke on them. Jacob still has to tell Shelly, Steve & Mimi.

Oh...I took another test this morning just to make sure nothing was wrong yesterday and it still says "Pregnant". So I'm gonna stop spending money!

I gotta get some work done today to keep my mind off of this or next Wednesday (dr appt) is going to seem like it's never gonna get here!

Monday, November 23, 2009

Ohhhh Yeah...

According to my calculations, I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and Baby Young #1 will be due July 28th, 2009. Roxie said babyman.com says it will be a Boy! If so, Jake Newton Young would be his name but we have a LONG way to go before we find out for sure.

Our New Life Begins!!

Well...it all started about 1 1/2 months ago when Jacob and I decided that I was going to stop taking birth control because everyone has told me that it would take forever after I stop for me to get pregnant. Well were they wrong! I was supposed to start my period on Thursday Nov 19th, but nothing happened. My periods are NEVER off so I kinda felt like something was wrong. Today is Monday and still nothing so I decided that I would buy a HPT this morning while I was at Wal-Mart. The drive from Wal-Mart to work (less than a mile) seemed like an eternity. So as soon as I got here, I had to take it, wait 3 minutes (another eternity) and it came back with 2 lines! My heart started pounding...seriously felt like a small heart attack. So of course I had to go buy another test just to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. Nope...this one said Pregnant right away. I called the doctors office because I wanted to go TODAY to see if they could do I test. Of course they can't see me until Dec 2nd...a week and a half from now. I told the nurse about the mini heart attack because I can't wait til Dec 2nd. She told me to RELAX, right...that's gonna happen. Then she proceeds to tell me that "weird things are going to start happening" and to call with any questions. Let me get this right, weird things are going to start happening and I'm supposed to relax. I called Roxie (she's pregnant) because I had to know what "weird" was going to happen to me. She didn't believe me! I had to send her a pic of the test. She had no idea what the nurse was talking about. Thanks for nothing ROXIE!

Next...how was I going to tell Jacob? So I took a pic of the TWO tests and sent it to him saying "Call Me. I'm freaking out and 2 tests say we are having a baby!" It didn't take 30 seconds and the phone was ringing. He is laughing and thinks I'm kidding. He doesn't know why I'm freaking out if we decided that I was going to stop taking birth control. I'm freaking out because I thought in my head that it would take at least 6 months. I really don't want to tell anyone until I go to the doctor at least so we will see how Thanksgiving goes.
