Yeah! I finally can eat! Yesterday was the first day where I actually had an appetite. And energy. I even took the girls to get haircuts and swimming. Major energy there. It felt so good to feel almost halfway normal. I stayed up until 11:30pm last night because I did not want the day to end for fear that I would feel bad again. But I feel pretty good today too.
If anyone knows me they know I have always loved pickles. When I got pregnant with Payton everyone joked on how could I possibly eat any more pickles than I already did. But I hated pickles pregnant. Same with Elly, I could not stand them. But this pregnancy, I started craving them a few days ago. And not just any. The really sour kind like at the state fair or at baseball games. That make your lips burn. Just writing about it is killing me! I also think someone is playing a sick joke. When I was pregnant in Nebraska I always craved Jack in the Box and Jamba Juice, which we didn't have. Here, we have both of those, but no, I want Jimmy Johns and Paradise. Which is 4 hours away. Oh well. Maybe I will make the drive one of these days!

The Last 5 weeks
WEEK OF JULY 26th
I was not feeling very good this week, but my period wasn't due for 6 days. I had a feeling I was pregnant, but I was trying not to get my hopes up. I needed to schedule my Wisdom teeth to be removed, which I couldn't do pregnant, so I decided to take one of those 5 day early tests just to see. It was POSITIVE. I could not believe it was positive this early - I am only three weeks pregnant. No wisdom teeth removed for now.
4 WEEKS PREGNANT
Missed my period, so I am pretty sure I am pregnant. Feeling a lot better, just have a huge appetite. I can not get enough food in my belly. It is starting to show already. THIS EARLY???? Maybe because it is my 5th pregnancy????
5 WEEKS PREGNANT
Here is me at 5 weeks - crazy! Granted I am bloated and it is the end of the day, but still. I swear there is more than one in there. Ha! I have been craving meat. Steak, bacon, ham, etc. I made some kind of steak for dinner 4 nights in a row. Went to the hospital for blood work, and the pregnancy is confirmed. They don't have you go to the Dr until 10 weeks here, so I have a ways to go until I even see the Doctor. Finding out early sucks, it makes it seem so long. These next few weeks I am going to be very nervous since both of my miscarriages were around 6 weeks.
6 WEEKS
Bleh. That's all I can say. I am starting to feel so sick. Nauseous all day long. Nothing sounds good, I have been forcing myself to eat what I can. Making dinner, makes me so sick, but I feel bad for the girls and Eric because I don't want to make anything. The only thing I can handle eating is kiwi, rasberries, limes, and limeade. Nice healthy diet, huh.
7 WEEKS
Sick as a dog. No throwing up, but I want to soooooo bad. I feel like I have the flu. Achy all over, dizzy, nauseous, cold, hot, irritated. You name it. The nights are the worst. Come 3:00pm it just gets worse until around bedtime when it peaks. Went to bed last night in tears because I was so sick, but feeling guilty. Feel like I should LOVE this pregnancy since I had a miscarriage before it. But it is hard this time around. The girls are fine and pretty much leave me alone in my misery. :) Thankfully, they play together well. And I passed my six week worry point. I know something could still happen, but hopefully, I am in the clear. They say 90% of pregnancies will continue after 8 weeks along, so I am crossing my fingers. Picture of me at 7 weeks. Don't look too big, but if you can definitely see my belly in the front mirror. Nice.
