August 2012

So we finally told the family and then told friends that we will be expecting a baby in August of 2012. We are so excited! I will be six weeks on saturday and I am anxiously awaiting our first appointment on the 9th. It is so different on base! I miss my old OB so much. The whole pregnancy with Kien was so easy (and mainly stress free). But I have no idea what to expect this time around, and it makes me kind of crazy! I have no symptoms again, just always super tired. I can't wait for what's ahead of us though. B is such a great daddy so I know he will be great through all of this!

On another note...when B and I first started dating I would constantly stress out. About everything....our relationship (seeing eachother only on weekends was rough), money, jobs, school, where I would live. He had (and has) the ability to calm me down and talk me out of the stressing. But now its starting again! I am in school again, so it's keeping up with that. And money. And should I get a job?! And then there's a situation I have been dealing with for awhile. It never seems to get better no matter how much time passes. I feel like I have tried every approach in dealing with this, and I will get a few weeks or months of stress-free living and then it comes back. I just hope I find the answer to this problem soon or that something changes. It feels like one of those things that i have to let out of my control because it's something I don't feel like I will ever be in complete control of. Which for a control freak is so hard to do.

How far along? 5 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain: None I hope!

Maternity clothes? Nope, I never wore them last time and I am hoping its the same this time around.

Stretch marks? Just from my last pregnancy, yes i was one of the very unlucky (seems like few?)

Looking forward to: My first appointment on the 9thHappy or Moody most of the time: Happy and kind of crankySymptoms: Tired and I pee every 10 minutesFood cravings: Bagels and watermelon, also McDonalds, but proud to say I haven't had any! Sleep: I went to bed at 9 the other night which is so early for me!
