Babies R Us We went to Baby's R Us for the first time. I have been there before to buy gifts, but first time looking for us. I went to get the morning sickness candies. They're called Preggie Pops, they do work but when it's gone the nausea comes back. Oh well, I'm kinda learning to just live with it. No other choice. We walked around the store and was just amazed by all the things we are going to need. You could spend a fortune in that store. We were looking at the funiture getting ideas of what we might like. I always just thought that we'd do the room blue if it's a boy (and I think it is), but they had some really nice sets that were a green shade. So maybe that's a possiblity, but Johan says we have enough green in the house. Looking at the little baby clothes, I couldn't believe how small they were, like doll clothes. And they had some travel kits that reminded me of somthing I would of had with my barbie dolls. We have recieved a few gifts already. We recieved a blanket and a pregnancy book/journal/scrapbook in which I'll record all things about my pregnancy. When I get further along we'll make a registry at Babies R Us. I think we'll wait until after we know if it's a boy or girl.

Let the pampering begin Johan has been trying to fatten me up. I found out that he has secretly been putting vanilla ice cream in my breakfast. He's been sneeking it into my fruit smoothy. I know I'm going to gain weight in the months to come, but I don't need to be eating ice cream for breakfast. He's been pampering me, I definately could get used to this. Last night he went to the all you can eat sushi place. I miss sushi so much. I stopped eating it when we decided to try to get pregnant last July. I did eat it once in October when I won a free dinner at Michael Mina's at Bellagio, but I made sure I wasn't pregnant when I went. I was doing some calculations and if I breast feed for 6 months (but this will probably be less cause I have to go back to work) I can have sushi next in May 2007. So Johan was thinking of me and brought me back some safe rolls that I could eat. One was all veggie, no fish, and the other was made with cod, fully cooked. It was very good, but I still miss my sushimi and poke. I can eat salmon as long as it is fully cooked, and only about 12 ounces a week. I can also eat tuna fish, but I absolutely hate tuna fish. How can they turn something so good like fresh tuna into something like tuna fish. Ahi tuna, shell fish, anything raw is a big no no. Also eggs with a runny yolk, any soft cheeses, are all no no's. Scrambled eggs are okay and hard cheeses. I can eat fish that are small (no mercury content in small fish) as long as it's all fully cooked.

too much nausea I haven't been as tired lately, but I have been soooo nauseus. Everyone has their ideas on what works to get rid of it. And to tell you the truth everything that I have tried that was suggested to me did work while I was doing it. However as soon as I stopped the nausea came right back. Some of the things that were suggested were: smelling soap, smelling fresh ginger, having a sour hard candy. I'm more than half way through the first trimester so I hope that this nasea is over soon. I told my boss I was pregnant. He responded: "You wanted this?" typical. I wouldn't expect anything less from him. Oh well. I've told pretty much everyone at work, they are all very happy for me.

Start of week 8 Today is Sunday March 12, 2006. Which means that I started week 8 and I'm half way through my first trimester. I was re-reading my last entry and I started to think that if a pregnancy lasts 40 weeks why then do we say that is 9 months and not 10 months. Johan and I went to the Bon Jovi concert last night. So the baby went to his or her first of many bon jovi concerts. I was tired and my stomach started up about half way through. I was lucky to have a seat where I could actually sit down and still watch the concert. Today I'm feeling pretty tired. I tried not to do much but relax. I should be cleaning the house cause my dad is coming on Wednesday but I just feel so blah.
