9 weeks

I cannot believe how blessed I've been so far throughout this first trimester! I've only had a couple close encounters where I've felt like I was seriously going to barf. One of those times was in THE BEST Mexican restaurant in AZ. The other time was in the temple doing sealings haha. But both times I survived without throwing up.

I've felt dizzy and HUNGRY. I'm like this giant hungry monster all the time. Even when I'm not pregnant I'm a hungry monster but this is 10x worse. Almost every hour I have to stuff my face with something or else I do get sick. My goal everyday is to eat. and eat a lot! I haven't had much food aversion which is SO nice. Sometimes meat grosses me out but that's pretty rare. I CRAVE potatoes! It first started with french fries (mmmm Wendeys..) and then thanksgiving came around and I could not have enough mashed and baked potatoes. So good.

I've gained a little weight (prob from all those dang french fries) and I go back and forth with being sad about it haha. I'm naturally small so this is a big change for me but I know that it's for the best of both me and baby! My garments are getting tight so I've been wearing Pauls to bed (ahhh so comfy). I just bought some new leggings but I don't know what I was thinking because I'm pretty sure they are going to be too tight around the belly in even a couple weeks. I wear T shirts everywhere even when I'm not pregnant so I'm not concerned about maternity clothing much.

I have to pee a lot. haha. The most annoying thing ever is when I've tucked myself into bed for the night and all of a sudden I have to run to the bathroom. Also at 3am. On the dot most nights.

Speaking of night time.. I'm having seriously the crrraaazzziest dreams. My boobs hurt like no other so the other night I had a dream that before I went to sleep I put baked potatoes on them to sooth them. hahaha. I should probably try it out now! I threw up on Jenny Rammells shoes in one dream haha. I also dreamed that we wrapped our baby up like a little burrito and she was soooo cute!

I haven't been super emotional.. yet. I think today has been my worst day. But it could just be a off day too so I'm not sure if the hormones are kicking in or if it's just normal Karie. I haven't cried in a long time it seems like but today I did. Mostly because I'm so stressed out about finding a place to rent in the next month or so. Also wishing we didn't have to mooch off of family (we live in my brothers basement for the time being while Paul finishes up his school). It's a crazy time in our lives!

I've been pretty open about telling people that I'm pregnant. Mostly because I'm trying to convince myself that I am actually pregnant haha. It still does not seem real. Sometimes I feel like I'm lying when I tell people. Hannah was the first one that Paul and I told. I'm pretty sure I told her the day we found out haha.  So far Price family knows, Ragar family knows, Hannah, Jenny, Kylie and Lani. Oh the nice sealer in the temple knows. But he knew before I even told him!

Paul and I both think it's going to be a girl. We already have our name picked out (Pauls favorite girl name) but if it's a boy I have no name ideas at all. Pretty much all the nieces and nephews say it's a girl which I think is super funny. One of our little nephews said "It's a girl but I want it to be a boy" haha!

Well my first appointment is on the 5th of December. It seems so late but people tell me that's normal. I'll be 10 weeks. I can't believe I'm almost done with my first trimester. Seems so weird. My biggest fear is that I'm going to go into my appointment and they'll say "Oh you're not pregnant at all! and you never were!" Like I was never pregnant haha!
