Ring Ring

I just got off the phone with my dr and apparently what i experienced with my eyesight yesterday is totally normal during early pregnancy. He said it has something to do with the fluid changes taking place in my body and that they think it could be related to migraines so he recommended me taking tylenol if it happens again. He also said not to worry if it happens every once in a while but it shouldn't happen too often.

While I had him on the phone, I also asked him about another strange feeling I have been having for the last four weeks. This "strange feeling" occurs during the night when I'm sleeping. Pretty much what happens is that every time i move, my stomach tightens and stretches, and it just basically feels awkward. But it tightens so much that every morning my abs are sore. Well the doc said that this is also normal and it's round ligament pain, just my body and uterus stretching for the baby to grow. Well, that's the end of my update!

Disco At The Wal-Mart

If you read my blog regularly, you're probably wondering why I didn't post yesterday. First, I apologize if I worried anyone. I've been getting emails, texts and phone calls like crazy from some of you wondering what's up with my absent post yesterday. I had no idea you guys were so interested and followed up so well! So thank you bunches for your care and concern! And y'all are right, yesterday was belly pic day! So what happened to my belly pic? Well, I have it for you today (Click the Belly Pic link on the right). I took it yesterday morning with the intention of posting it in the afternoon with my updates as usual, but my body had other plans. All day yesterday I felt the usual not-so-good feelings... nausea, fatigue, etc., but I had a bit of a surprise when I lost my eyesight in the middle of Wal-Mart! It started off slowly when we first arrived there. I was seeing okay but there were some flashing lights in spots. Over the course of about thirty minutes, it continued to get worse until I could no loner see anything but huge, bright lights. I had to hold on to Joshua as we made our way to the McDonald's in the store where I sat down and drank a milkshake. We sat there for about twenty minutes and by the time we got back up, my eyesight was pretty much back to normal. However, the milkshake didn't go over well with my stomach and I ended up feeling incredibly sick. We hurried back home and I moaned on the couch while Joshua unpacked the groceries. I was ready to hit the sack but I forced myself to stay up long enough to watch Big Brother. The last two days have been really busy for me with working more hours and then running around places after work so I think that's what did me in. Just in case the eye problem is something more serious though, I phoned my doc a few minutes ago and now I'm waiting to hear back from him. I'll update as soon as I speak with him!

Today I feel the same as yesterday without the eye and milkshake problem. Last night I discovered that I can eat cereal without a problem so I may soon become a cereal addict. Other than the cereal, It's still been hard trying to get anything down. Fortunately, I'm married to a human garbage disposal so anything I don't eat Joshua finishes for me. Needless to say, he's been eating A LOT!

Well I'm 8 1/2 weeks, and I'm not sure if you've checked out the floating baby on the right side of the page in a while, but Baby Breaux is actually looking like a baby now! The picture on the left is about the size of the little booger! It's so amazing how it can be so tiny and still look like a little human. Baby Breaux now has elbows and knees, and it's little tail is now completely gone. I also read somewhere that the baby is now beginning to move on its own although it will be many weeks before I will feel it. Other than its disproportionately large head, Baby Breaux is actually looking pretty cute! Just check out the pic below!
