Gummy Bear With A Heartbeat!

I just got back from my official first dr appointment with my new OB. I got another confirm ultrasound and it was AMAZING!! I got to see its heartbeat and it was waving its little arms around like crazy ("Hi Mommy!!!") It was so incredible and I am so happy I cant even stand it. Our new due date is Sept. 19th which is just a day off of what we originally thought, and the dr said baby is growing just fine and everything looks good and normal! I have gained 3 pounds so far which is right on track,  goal for first trimester is 5-7 pounds and I am 3 weeks away from being out of it! What a relief to see everything going well. The next appointment is in  2 weeks to go over family history blah blah blah BORING STUFF when do I get to see my gummy bear again? I also have to give 10 vials of blood which im less than ecstatic about so ill pretend its my red cross donation for the next 8 years. I secretly wore my maternity sweatpants today because my belly is swollen and the thought of putting on jeans made me want to yack. I was walking through the hospital looking at people thinking "do they know i have on maternity pants? can they tell?" im sure they couldnt, they look like plain sweatpants just with a roomy-er waist... which is fine with me so i can hide the 3 whopping pounds i have gained. Nap time!!  Oh i suppose you all would like to see gummy bear too!!



FINALLY! HOORAY!

YES! I am SO excited to say that I have finally gotten a dr. appointment scheduled! TOMORROW!! The only bummer is Skyler is out of town for work :( but I will feel so much better once I have a dr. tell me everything is going ok!! Today I didnt even FEEL pregnant... remember when I was complaining about being hungry not being hungry breakouts etc... well ill take all of that back PLEASE because it makes me feel better since it all reminds me theres a baby in there!! Cant wait to share new ultrasound pictures (hopefully) and more good news!! :) Being pregnant is DEFINATELY not as fun without my husband here. womp womp.

Feeling Slugggggiiiiisssshhh.

As a ever so slowly walk my way into week 10 (EEK!) I find myself more and more tired. I cant get through the day without a nap. At least I have my appetite back, and still havent kicked the sweet tooth. Our house is full of brownies, rice krispy treats, and cupcakes, and im guessing Skyler is happy to have skipped out of the house for the week (work trip) so he isnt eating like the pregnant lady. I FINALLY have my insurance, so tomorrow i can hopefully *CROSS FINGERS* get an appointment. I will feel so much better when I can see baby on the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat. Lack of pregnancy symptoms are making me slightly stress and I just want to make sure that little Davis is growing strong in there!! Not much else, im sleeping like no other and feel like I could stay asleep for days at a time. Ready to find out the gender of this baby! the suspense is killing me!!! Thats all for now, im hungry.... Goodbye blog, Hello food.

Chocolate Truffles, Chocolate Muffins, & Chocolate Cupcakes.

I havent felt the urge to write anything lately because frankly, theres not much new news around here. Besides the fact that I have a new hard obsession for anything chocolatey/peanut buttery or better yet, both mixed together. I found the most amazing cooking blog and my dear husband is probably ecstatic about all the extra treats that are making their way to the fridge/pantry. OH. and I have this awful need to clorox everything. SCRUB. Im not kidding, lampshades included. Im completely obsessing over dishes, etc, which I suppose is not neccessarily a bad thing, but now im finding myself needing new cookie sheets, pots, pans, etc because no matter how much i scrub everything in this house is RUSTED. sigh. Big baking lady sigh. Skyler leaves for a one week work trip on Sunday and the first thing im going to do is pull everything out of the cabinets and completely reorganize the whole kitchen so I can reach things better. After all, Im a chef. And right now my house smells like peanut butter muffins and im drooling.

Belly is growing, i know i know, everyone wants to see pictures. Soon, i promise. im so busy baking.
Still waiting for a doctors appointment, if my birth certificate EVER arrives then maybe I can sign up for my insurance and get in there. clocks ticking, its supposed to be here Friday. cross fingers.

Thats about it, no news is good news, hopefully. Were 9 and a half weeks and still no throwing up, THANK THE LOOOOOORD. Although my husbands not so careful driving over a bumpy road did almost cause me to toss my cookies today. literally, because thats what i ate for lunch. Sssh, im pregnant and a girls gotta eat ok? Sleeping better, and still getting up 3 times a night to pee. Last night i think i fell asleep on the toilet, not kidding. Im making cake batter pancakes tomorrow. If anyone wants to buy me cooking supplies, please feel free. I need a food processor and one of those awesome mixers with the bowl underneath. :) :)



I Got Mrs. Davised.

WELL hello again fellow blog readers/writers/ etc. Im sorry I havent written lately (i feel as if i owe this apology, i didnt blog for 2 days and my mother called to say "IS EVERYTHING OK? YOU HAVENT WRITTEN IN YOUR BLOG.").... I was too busy getting married. thats right folks, MARRIED. I am officially Mrs. Davis, carrier of the baby Davis, and wife to the Mr. Davis. We spent an awesome weekend in Gatlinburg, just the two of us, and got hitched at a NO LIE drive-thru wedding chapel. It was classic........and took exactly 2 minutes and 13 seconds. We are planning a real wedding for spring of 2012 after baby arrives.
I am currently convinced I am carrying a girl. Ever hear the saying "baby girl steals your beauty" ?? well, shes stealing it all right. im PUFFY. and BROKEN OUT EVERYWHEEERE zits. ZITS dear lord the zits my poor once clear complexion has gone to Hell. im PALE. and im TIRED. BUT i suppose i cannot complain too entirely much, because I have made it strongly to week 8 and a half and still no vomiting (knock on wood.) I got close the day I came down with a minor cold/fever (courtesy of Skyler) but luckily held everything down.
Remember when I was starving to DEATH every second of every day? When i couldnt eat enough? well now i cant eat AT ALL. Im lucky to shove some sorry excuse of crackers down once a day. im just NOT hungry and its so hard to force myself to eat. So the nurse has prescribed me *GAG* Ensure, a discusting nutritional drink in MMM chocolate. Im slowly choking it down in hopes of making baby grow. My first doctors appointment has been moved to next week, because SURPRISE north carolina has the most ridiculous laws and now we are having problems with the insurance and all that jazz, hopefully to be cleared up Monday of next week so we can make babys appointment on Thursday.
We have started collecting diapers, to 1. get in the habit of buying, and 2. so we dont have to buy all at once. I let Skyler pick them out, hes so cute comparing prices and reading boxes "HEY BABE, THESE ARE SWADDLERS." precious.
so thats about it for now, broken out tired face with a slow growing belly. Ill try to post a belly picture this week for all of you who are dying to see. :)

streeeetch.

I am SO happy to say I got to eat buffalo wings last night, as well some pizza dippin sticks. Thanks to my (soon to be) husband who patiently waited around at 11 pm while I called SIX pizza places (who knew pizza places close at 945 pm? ridiculous) finally found one and F-E-A-S-T-E-DDDDD. craving satisfied.
Pregnancy. ahhhh between the hours of 4:30 am and 9:30 am I have this AWFUL ache to STREEEEEETCH my body. im so exhausted and cant get comfortable and cant sleep. Skyler was getting ready for work at 5 am, and after 30 straight minutes of tossing and turning I sat up and said "UGH I CANT SLEEP I NEED TO STRETCH I HATE THIIIIIS" he said "guess what you're pregnant." please tell me something I dont know. This child is taking over my boddyyyyy. Nicole says "sleep while you can because after September you'll never feel rested again" hrrmmph. easier said than done my friend.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. the smell of the leftover pizza garlic butter is making me NAUSEOUS
2. My first OBGYN appt. is scheduled for Friday the 11th.
3. Im getting married this weekend. MARRIED. eeeek.
4. My mother is sending me boy baby clothes in the mail so apparently she has determined the sex of the baby with her magic psychic powers, or shes just hoping for a boy. either way, they are cute, getting us excited, and going in a box in the nursery.
5. We FINALLY decided on a crib. and no, its one from the 1,437 choices at Target.

thats all for now, im up to my ears in baby books.
