So much for updating every week. Although I'm pretty sure I can claim the fact that I was out of town for 10 days as a reason. Over the course of the last week the nausea has gotten out of control. Man alive.... at some point every night I wish I could keel over and die......
Constipation, yep it's here. Because I am taking Zofran for the nausea it stops you up like no other.
I am still so so so tired ALL the time. My body is physically exhausted. I have been spending quite a bit of time in bed just resting. I don't remember this with the others.
And my breasts are KILLING me. I don't remember this with any other baby other than Sydney. I think it's annoying.
Can't wait to feel better in the next few weeks.....
how far along: 10 weeks
how big is baby: kumquat
maternity clothes: my mama bought me some new stuff while I was visiting in Virginia for my birthday from A Pea In The Pod. And a couple new church dresses. I'm pretty excited about them. But yeah, rocking the preggo stuff.....but really I'm just wearing sweats at home or a bathing suit because I'm taking my kids to the pool just about everyday.
sleep: Unisom has become a fave.....it helps me wake up not feeling like I don't want to get up
best moment of the week: hearing Sydney tell my friends she doesn't want 5 kids like "her crazy mom"
looking forward to: just feeling better....anything to feel better

{need to document}
As I look back on this pregnancy I want to remember all of it because I am sad to say I don't remember alot about Sydney, Nico and Sophie's pregnancies.
I cannot stop sneezing. And I feel very congested around dinner time. What is that about? Last night I sneezed 5 times in a row.
This baby is already making it hard to eat alot. Which isn't a bad thing, but I am having to eat many little meals to account for how quickly I feel full. Which doesn't make me want to eat at all.
The burping is out of control. This I do remember from Camden. And the gas is bad too. TMI? Maybe, but this is my blog.
Can't keep my eyes open tired still. Not very much nausea as yet. Little bouts here and there but not bad. I can't complain, but I will confess that it makes me nervous that something is wrong. At least when I feel sick I know baby is thriving. But I honestly don't remember the early part of Nico's pregnancy, I'm pretty sure I didn't get very sick with him. Maybe it's my sign it's a boy!!

{6 weeks}
6 week belly pic
{5th baby, what can I say}
how far along: 6 weeks 0 days
how big is baby: lentil bean
maternity clothes: sad to admit but I did but out some summer capri's....the bloating is out of control and this baby is popping out fast..... something about that #5
stretch marks: do I really need more? pretty sure I have enough
sleep: still having some bad insomnia.... learning to love tylenol pm
best moment this week: hearing this comment from Sophie: "mom are you pregnant?" me "yes" sophie"well you aren't sick like other mom's" me"i guess I'm really, really lucky" Sophie" No Mom you are just really awesome." Made me feel so good. But I happened to get sick that same night.
food cravings: water, craved cookie dough for a day
looking forward to: Still looking forward to the first dr appt next week. Maybe she can explain why I'm so HUGE!!!
A couple notes: when i called Kaiser to schedule my appt, I was happy to learn they did away with the weird call center interview then appt thing. Apparently it got terrible reviews, women hated it and found it impersonal so Kaiser did away with it. Which made me very happy.
I am super, super emotional this time around. You can look at me wrong and I will start crying. It's pretty bad.
I am really excited for my hair appt this Friday with Nat. She is going to make me hot for my sister's wedding in Virginia in less than 2 weeks. I'm so excited to so see my family.
That's it!!

New Baby...#5....{just a little surprised}
Well, here I am again. Pregnant. I am certain when I started documenting pregnancy #4 that was the last baby. And even 1 month ago I was still insisting we were done at 4. But Nick told me he just had a feeling we weren't done!! What???? Oh, no, i did not want to hear that. So I took my concerns to Heavenly Father. Asked him what I needed to do. My answer came in the feeling that Nick was right!!! DARN!!!! I went to him with my new found knowledge and told him I wasn't ready until next year to even think about it and he agreed with me. Ok, we were on the same page. Well, apparently we forgot to take into account Heavenly Father's plan isn't the same as ours. And according to him baby #5 is coming now.
Truth be told, I am very happy, excited and anxious. I have been on a very rigid medication regimene for the last couple years to battle my depression and anxiety and becoming pregnant I've had to stop all meds. My Zoloft for the first trimester and my klonopin for the entire pregnancy. To say I feel like I'm loosing my mind right now is an understatement. Today Sydney surprised Nick and I with a full breakfast and all i could focus on was the total disaster of a mess she created to make us this thoughtful gift. I was sitting at the dinner table holding my head and closing my eyes to try to avoid the anxiety that was building up within me. I eventually had to leave the table and go upstairs and shower to try to calm down. Nick came in and tried to tell me I needed to get it under control. I may or may not have screamed at him to leave me alone. And seriously considered taking some of my meds. I resorted to cleaning furiously to try to calm down and I stayed home from Nico's football games to try and recharge my batteries. I really don't know how to fix this without meds. I'm frustrated. Very frustrated. Gonna have to do some intense praying to get through the next couple months.
All that being said, I AM very happy this little one is coming!! Knowing this is indeed my last baby, {can't have any more c-sections per doctors orders} I want to savour each moment. Knowing that it will never happen again. {I'm tying my tubes after I deliver} I want to be happy and not complain. Relish in all that is going on in my body. I want to take this blog and make it a detailed document of what goes on and what I remember. Pictures and all.
I will document it this way each week. Along with any other thoughts I may have:
how far along:4 weeks 5 days
how big is baby:size of a poppy seed
weight gained so far: none, lost 2.5 pounds
maternity clothes:not yet, but the bloating is getting pretty bad. It might be soon. {check back next week} who are we kidding, this is baby #5 it's gonna be soon....
stretch marks: plenty from Sydney
sleep: having some pretty bad insomnia....waking up every couple hours to pee, and to tend to Camden
best moment of the week: finding out I was pregnant
food cravings: pickles and plain hamburgers
looking forward to: first doctors appt and seeing the baby's heartbeat
a little extra:
heartburn as I type, no serious nausea yet {yes, I'm kinda hoping it shows up, gives me piece of mind. Healthy baby if I'm feeling sick}, soda is not appealing to me which makes me sad. I love my diet. All I want is water 24 hours a day, everyday. I'm so so thirsty.
That's about all for now.

Current Cravings
Here are my current cravings right now:
Top Ramen: Only the beef flavor. I want it a couple times a day. I love this stuff right now. And it doesn't give me heartburn. Score.
Bananas: They keep my stomach calm and taste fantastic.
Water: cold and by the gallon.
My back is about out. I have a dr's appt tomorrow and I'm hoping there is something that she can give me and advise me about with regards to my back. I am having a hard time functioning because it hurts so bad. The nausea is still here. Heartburn is in full swing. Still super tired even with the thyroid meds. Hoping the pregnancy workout videos I borrowed from a friend will help make everything a little better and give me some energy. These holidays are really wearing me out.

2 weeks and counting till trimester 1 is over!!!!!
I will be so happy when the first trimester is over. This is awful. I'm also so glad this is my last baby. There is no way I could go through this again. I was talking with my mom-in-law and she said her last pregnancy was really bad as well. And in conversing we wondered if it gets worse as you get older. This is my first pregnancy in my 30's (and last) and my mom-in-law was the same age I am. So maybe. The babies I had in my 20's WERE easier. I am now in my 30's, my body is in it's 30's. So I'm very glad I didn't wait to have all my babies in my 30's.
