Good Morning! It is yet again a very early morning post. It is 3:22am and I have been up for the last hour and a half with heartburn. Yes, thats right... the pregnancy symptoms have set in this week! Oh goodie!
I have had a rapid heart beat that will come in intervals... Every hour or so I will even be sitting still and my heart will begin to race. I wasnt freaking out but it was definitely alarming. Well... come to find out, I was dehydrated! I'm not a huge water drinker but I had been drinking about a glass or two more than I would normally do. That wasnt enough though... Baby Pepe needs more water than I thought. Yes, we have named our little bundle of joy "Pepe" until we find out if he/she is a boy or girl. My mom says it sounds like a drunk mexican. She wants to name it "Fifi" and there is no way that that is happening. Okay so back to the water... so yesterday I dug deep into myself and drank 64 ounces of water and my rapid heartbeat went away! Guess who is going to be drinking more water... This mommy!
Another symptom, I craved spicy food yesterday! I am not a big spicy fan but as Ryan and I have been married I have started to like it more. I used to NEVER eat jalapenos but now I like them diced up in some dishes that he makes. BUT last night, I was popping jalapenos on my nachos at Chili's like they were going out of style. Ryan just looked at me like I had 4 heads. Dinner last night was amazing! It had everything I wanted at that moment. We got salsa and chips before our entree and then my nachos with extra jalapenos and extra sour cream too! I was on cloud nine! Ryan says that I was bouncing in my chair and was like the happiest kid in the world! I dont even know if I would even call it a craving, I just thought mexican/spicy food sounded amazing at that moment and it did! We even went out to DQ for ice cream after! Hey, I ate super healthy all week for baby so I had a cheat night!
BUT
I am feeling it right now. I have heartburn pretty bad. I took some Tums about 30 minutes ago and the heartburn is getting better but it was bad enough to wake me up.
I have had moments of quesiness but no morning sickness yet! I know it is probably just a matter of time. One of my best friends, Shurron (she just had a baby about 6 months ago) says that morning sickness is like being sick with the flu... She says when you are actually sick with the flu, you are miserable before, during and after but when you are sick with morning sickness you will throw up, brush your teeth and be back to normal like nothing happened. I am hoping for that. Actually, I am hoping for no morning sickness at all. Wishful thinking right?
Not many others symptoms. I havent noticed too much tiredness... Which is nice because I am in the middle of working 8 days straight. Cedar allergies have me sneezing pretty bad. Ryan has a bad cough and we are hoping that it is just allergies. I really would hate to get sick right now and not be able to take anything for it!
All in all, I am loving being pregnant! September seems so far away but its hard to believe it has already been a week since we found out we were expecting our wonderful bundle of joy! Continuing to pray for a successful and pleasant pregnancy! I am feeling better so I am going to try to go back to sleep before I have to be up in 3 hours for work!
