7 Week Bumpdate

Okay, so hardly anyone knows I'm pregnant right now. This will remain a draft until it's out in the open, but I wanted to blog about my experiences of being pregnant. I'll start with how i feel:
Tired. 
I am so tired. I don't have my dental hygiene license yet but I feel like a lazy bum because of how much I don't want to do anything. I think part of it is being nauseous is wearing me out. I went and took my resume to a dentist yesterday and I was planning on doing more today but it took everything I had to shower, blow dry my hair, and straighten it. It was 1230 by the time I was done. I started at 9. I mean I took a time-out for One Tree Hill for an episode but man it took so long. It doesn't help that my mane seems to be shedding less. More hair. I was hoping it would start falling out... (Cue angry women with thin hair wanting to punch me in the face). Anyways, I feel worthless. I need to get energized! Moving on:

How far along? 7 weeks 

Maternity clothes? Not yet. But when I got back from Hawaii my jeans were a little snug- I think from gaining muscle in my legs though. I had been working them out tons before we left and walking everywhere definitely strengthened them.  

Stretch marks? None yet. My sister told me to get Burt's Bees Mama Bees oil, so I've been using it once a day. I noticed when I got back from Hawaii that I actually already had some on my hips. I think my tan made them stand out. Oh well! 

Sleep? I'm getting plenty of sleep at night, but I think I need to start napping until I find a job. 

Best moment this week? My dad and step-moms reaction when I told them. My dad literally said "I can't believe you've had sex" and it was the funniest thing ever. They were thrilled! 

Miss anything? Being in the mood to eat whatever whenever. Not feeling nauseous the second my stomach feels a little empty. 

Movement? Nope, got awhile before that. But I have been getting aches. Apparently it's my belly making room for da beebs. 

Food cravings? Subway. Which I've been told is fine to eat. I'm sure tons of people will freak out, but can you tell me the last time you got sick eating subway without being Prego? Me either. Also Progressos Minestrone soup. Heaven. It was all I wanted today and I'm actually able to eat more than 3 bites, which is more than I can say for the mac n cheese I've been working on for 3 days. The broth of the minestrone is my faaaavorite. 

Nausea? It's the worst. I mean it's not like I feel like I'm on the verge of vommitting  24/7, but when I wake up in the am, I feel fine but shove food in my tummy because I know it won't last. Which then brings on nausea for a little while. Everytime I eat (besides minestrone) it makes my stomach hurt initially then I'll be fine after. It's terrible. I'm glad I haven't thrown up yet, though. I know I've had friends be hospitalized so I shouldn't complain. Nights are bad. As long as I put food in my belly I'm fine. 

Started showing yet? No, I don't think so. I hope not. Though I already have a pooch from before I was Prego haha. 

Labor signs? Sure hope not! 

Belly button in or out? In as usual. We will see if it stays that way. 

Happy or moody? All over the place! Bryce I think mainly thinks I'm moody. It's more that I'm exhausted. When I'm mad I usually do deep breaths to drop the hint. Now I'm just so tired and out of breath that I do that and he's like WHATS WRONG! Hahaha. But I'll be in happy phases too! 

Looking forward to? Ultrasound. It's not for 3 weeks because that's the soonest they could get me in (are you kidding?!) but still it's set. Also looking forward to the 1st trimester being over so I don't have to be nauseous. Half way there... Ugh :(
