KK: Daddy, my teacher sent me a memail and said I need a computer with a mouse and a plug so you have to get me one for my birthday.

We have another girl on the way! Can you believe that I went to the mall (mostly because I desperately needed some maternity shorts) but with the mindset that I would buy the first little baby outfit for her and I walked away with NOTHING?!!!! It's like my whole mindset changed. Nothing was cute to me at all. I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of sewing though.

If we get it booked soon, I should be headed to Wisconsin to see Penelope Jean and I'm so excited! I really didn't think I would have a chance to go until next year sometime but it looks like my mama is making it happen :)

The nausea is FINALLY better but it has been replaced by debilitating hunger. I didn't even think that was possible. I woke up at 3 this morning so hungry that I was actually in pain, I mean really?

With so many baby girls headed our way in the family right now I felt like I had to put our #1 pick for now for a baby name out there to make sure no one else was using it. They're not and I even got Jim to admit that it was a good Irish name after he did a little internet research of his own.

I didn't get a printout to share but her little profile instantly made me think she might look a little like Ainsley, definitely a good thing.

Feeling the baby a little bit. Mostly early in the morning and at night when I lie down to go to bed.

I can't tolerate the bedroom being hot anymore so I'm trying to see if we can get another receiver in the girls room until the summer passes. I like watching movies while I lounge at night but my couch is not comfy at all so I've had to find other solutions.

Ainsley is on the road with grandma right now and spending some time in Wisconsin with her cousins. I'm jealous that she gets to be there when Pepper is born and I will miss it! I'm also missing her like crazy. I almost had a panic attack that first night, it just felt wrong!

The sick is finally gone I think! Right before I hit 15 weeks, so I guess it could have been worse. It is sooooo nice to not have my entire day planned around or ruined by food. I can eat or not eat when I feel like it and it's a huge relief. I had to rush out of the house yesterday and forgot breakfast and was worried I would sabotage myself but I did fine. I got a little tired but not sick, woo hoo!

Still waiting for more energy but I doubt that's going to get better while it's over 100 degrees outside.

Back to work

camping while pregnant? Why not?!

Hurt my back like you wouldn't believe, though honestly I think it has nothing to do with being pregnant and a lot to do with sleeping on the cold hard ground after my air mattress sprung a leak. It is feeling mildly better today but dang I'm a mess!

Still have prego nausea. French toast tasted yummy tonight though and my mom made me eat peanuts earlier which also helped.

Hopefully we can see the goods at the ultrasound next Friday! Anyone wanna venture a guess?

Ainsley is headed to Wisconsin with my mom on Thursday, gonna miss her like crazy! She's insanely excited to go though and ecstatic that she will likely be able to witness little Pepper being born. I've been letting her watch Baby Story lately and I'm glad she understands why she can't be there when this little one is born but that doesn't mean she isn't sad about it.

KK is a monster but I love her.

Night!

count your blessings??????????

Okay, I know that many, MANY other pregnant women have morning sickness way worse than I do but I'm just so fed up! The last few days have just been horrible. I broke down crying today because I just don't know how to handle it anymore. I hate food. I don't want to eat it. I don't want to look at it. I don't want to think about it. But if I ignore it I'm sick. If I eat the wrong thing, I am sick. I want to feel functional again!

Rant over, just really frustrated today I guess :(

I guess it serves me right for assuming this pregnancy would be like my other two and I would sail through the first tri without so much as an aversion.

I am still looking forward to camping though because maybe getting out of the heat will help.

2nd Trimester

I feel better but I still feel like poo several times a day and it's seriously frustrating. I know I'm a whiner and most people get WAY sicker than I have but still, this needs to go away!

It's freaking hot and we need a pool!!!!! I seriously wish we had one. I feel like it would make such a huge difference in how I view my summers. Maybe someday.

Got dance pictures today, aren't they cute?!

Blueberry

Measuring 2 days ahead at 12 weeks 5 days and was moving around a TON!

Too bad the little stinker was too small to take a peek between the legs :)
