What a weekend! Friday I met my mom and brother for lunch and to my wonderful surprise she had purchased some maternity clothes for myself and some for my sister in law. I was pleasantly surprised and very grateful! She got me a pair of jeans, khaki capris, and 2 shirts. She got my SIL 3 shirts (my brother said she didn't need pants).....she told me about  a mad sale and after I got off work I went over to check it out myself. I ended up getting 4 other shirts for $31!! I was happy....I was tired of having to wear Shawn's t-shirts b/c they were the only thing long enough to cover up the fact that my pants weren't zipped!! ....I could officially be pregnant in style! I then headed to my mom's after hitting the sale to show her my purchases. Noah and I hung out there for the evening b/c Shawn took Little Shawn to football practice and then had to take him to his mom's for the weekend. I hadn't thrown up all day..and was pretty excited...however I was feeling nauseas and was actually WANTING to throw up in hopes that I would feel better. Shawn got to moms pretty late and so we just crashed there. Saturday morning I was feeling pretty good...we had breakfast and then went out on the sail boat with my mom, Brian (step dad), Noah and Shawn. I hadn't been out on their sail boat....and since I get car sick so easily now I was scared .... I slept the entire time on the boat, b/c I didn't want to get queasy and have to cut the trip short for everyone else. Granted I wasn't much company...but hey at least I went...b/c mom had been trying to get me to go forever and I just haven't felt up to it! After the boat ride I went home to get ready to go to Carrollton. I had volunteered to work the Hot Dog stand for the PTO. Shawn and Noah stayed at my moms b/c they were going to watch the big OSU / TEXAS game....GO Buckeyes!!! .....don't talk to me about that game though!! UUGH....what were you thinking Zwick? ....anyways...the hot dog stand went well...and I ended up stopping by an old friends house who I haven't seen in like 4 years! It was so great to see her and her 3 boys. I ended up staying for like 3 hours....it was like we hadn't missed a beat, we picked right up where we left off.......I love friendships like that! She's supposed to come over next Sat. and bring her boys to play with Noah. Before I left her boys kept telling me they loved me....what sweeties! Saturday evening I started getting a bit queasy...but for the most part I felt good throughout the day..and had 2 days pass without puking!! Sunday morning I got up with some energy...I made Noah breakfast, and starting cleaning the kitchen and going through our junk drawers and getting rid of stuff that we no longer needed.....I actually got a lot of stuff done before we had to leave at noon to go p/u Little Shawn and take him to his football game. It was a long drive...and was really hot outside and the visitors section of the stadium didn't have any shade....so all the heat got to me......however I didn't throw up....and after the game we went out to eat and I was feeling better. They won....22 to 0.....so far they're undefeated. Little Shawn had a great game! However I wish I could say the same about the Browns.....and of course Shawn and Little Shawn were taunting me b/c their precious Steelers won!  It was late by the time we got home and Shawn and I watched a documentary on 9/11....I cried. When I went to bed I realized 3 days had went by and I didn't throw up...I was getting a little excited. As I laid there I started pushing on my stomach feeling my uterus, and then all of a sudden....I jumped so high....as I was pushing...I felt the baby...kind of 'push' me back....it scared the crap out of me! I was totally shocked....I know for sure it was the baby...absolutely no doubt about it.......I just started giggling...and then I kept trying to find it again...but I didn't. I still went to bed happy. This morning I woke up ....very tired....I'm didn't sleep really well...I was in and out of sleep all night. I REALLY had to pee....after getting myself ready for work and getting Noah dressed I went running to the bathroom to throw up...so much for a 4th day!  I really need to get a picture of my belly and get it posted....as far as pregnancy symptoms right now.....I still have urges to pee all the time...and it wakes me up at night......NEVER had that the entire time with Noah.....my boobs are still sore and growing...they are so veinny....got gas and heartburn as well. Can't wait until my next dr. appointment on the 30th....almost in the second trimester now!!! YIPPY!!
