told more people friday (March 14) DH told his bro who stopped by his work, and he said to tell me Congrats. we also told Bri&Mar that night - showed them the star wars card. they were excited for us. Ad&Je came by too cuz his mom had knee surgery so when everyone (JJ came by too but didn't bring Tan so we waited to tell them) went to see RunningRedLights, i stayed back and Ad&Je visited with me. they left at 11:20pm and i was so hungry. i tried to eat some grapefruit but it was way too sour. so i went and brushed my teeth and just spitting made me barf.
Then the next night (saturday) JJ&Tan came by. we told them (showed them the star wars card too), but they didn't seem overly excited, but that's probably just them. apparently they figured it out before they even walked through the door. and DH went with them again to see RRL. i stayed home and tried to go to bed at about 9:30 or 10, but i had DH's lamp on and it made me stay awake...because of this, i ended up puking at 11:30 again.
also on saturday, my my mom and i had plans to go shopping (for my sis's b-day) but i couldn't figure out anything at home for lunch so DH ran to the grocery store and grabbed 4 diff containers of pasta salad (and a fit pregnancy magazine about mom and baby...which made me cry, happy tears, when i flipped through it). We went shopping and i mentioned to my mom a name that "hit" me this morning while i was relaxing on the couch after eating breakfast. (i mentioned it to DH too, but he didn't really say anything, other than it sounds too much like the last name. it could mean that he might like it then, if i grows on him...?) i mentioned the middle name..... well, i'll say the first name with it.... Sydney Evelyn. my mom thinks it sounds old (the middle name). hmmm. i think it's like "Stella"...which seems old too, but it's back in and is a cute, and pretty, name.
DH & i went to my parents for supper and we had hamburgers and corn on the cob (i thought i could eat the corn... but that was sooo difficult). i told my dad the middle name too, and he thought it sounded pretty. i still have many months to go, and even at that, the baby might be a boy!
i think i puked again sunday morning. i thought we should go to DH's parents to tell them since it seemed like everyone else knew but them. so DH called and his mom was leaving in a half hour. we hurried over there and she had already left. we ended up just chatting with his dad for 1/2 hour, and said to have her call when she's home cuz we'll have more "errands" to run later. At about 6:30 or so, DH ended up calling, and she was home but she was making supper. so we went over at about 8. DH asked them if they were getting lots of practice being grandparents and said there's about to be one more and they'll be grandparents again (he said something like that). DH's dad was happy. he gave us hugs and congratulated us, but his mom just sat on the floor and played with the dogs. (i think it's the whole religion thing)
last night i had a violent puke cuz we waited too long to eat supper (went to the grocery store after work, and then we got into an arguement over what to eat.... stupid). so i had a bit of blood and a sore throat. then we ate chilli dip that has jalapenos in it, which sucked cuz it was too spicy for me now (never was spicy before) but i ate it anyway.
i almost puked again this morning (puking seems to be all i think about....and what the heck to eat!) a few times.

this is nuts i can't eat nuts... nuts are gross. everything is gross. i can eat grapefruit...and oranges...and drink milk...
salad's still gross, veggies are still gross... i had an apple yesterday that i had to throw out cuz our office neighbours, or someone on this floor, had chicken, and that's all i could taste! a chicken flavoured apple! BLEH. and then the almonds i tried to eat tasted like steak. i hope this doesn't mean i won't be able to eat chicken now too!!!
i feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO guilty though, not being able to eat veggies. i don't know what to do! maybe i'll make a pasta salad and put carrots and celery in it. that sounds pretty good to me right now. it's annoying how it sounds good now, but after i make it, i might not want to eat it. i feel like i'm depriving our poor baby though.
oh ya, and flavoured rice cakes are a bad idea. it feels like they cut up the top of my tongue and it hurts for over a day! ohhh how i just want to be able to eat properly...
i've been gassy lately , but i'm guessing it's cuz of the food i've been eating...cuz if i don't feel like eating something, i totally gag on it. i've had perogies with canned green beans, scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast (gagged on that, but only when i was almost done eating it), pizza, kraft dinner... oh my gosh, bad bad bad. But i've tried whole wheat bagels, and i can't eat whole wheat toast anymore... or peanut butter... the only things i feel i can eat are pastas and potato based things...and what i wrote at the top.
okay, well, i gotta pee...

bad dream i had a bad dream last night....that i started bleeding, a lot. and i was just waiting for the baby to come out too (but the baby didn't). i think i had the dream cuz i still have that bit of worry in my mind. i hope i can hear the heart beat at my next appt. (mar 20)
seems like people usually dream about what the baby will look like, not about possible miscarriages! argh.
well, i still feel nauseas and almost barfed in the sink (from toothpaste) and then in the shower. so i'm taking this as still a good sign that everything's going as it should for a healthy pregnancy.
i bought palmer's cocoa butter last night, as well as the book that i swear i've already bought 2 years ago (in preparation. haha) - what to expect when expecting. so of course i cry when i read it.... "it's so true!" haha.

update so, i've been barfing. i'm pretty proud of myself though cuz i haven't barfed since yesterday morning (about 6am). i feel a little yucky though.
i haven't written on here for a while cuz we were away on the weekend. i stayed home on monday due to a whole lot of barfing - 4 times throughout the entire day.
we told our friend, S.B. who came over last night. she always has the best reactions, she's so funny.
anyway...gotta work...i'll try to write more later.
i also wanted to mention, while we were leaving KW on sunday, we stopped by Thyme Maternity (yep, already! but there's been days where i needed those pants cuz mine were too darn tight) and i bought a pair of jeans, and black cargo (kinda dressy too, a little) pants, and my mom bought me a cute dressy top.
, but i'm guessing it's cuz of the food i've been eating...cuz if i don't feel like eating something, i totally gag on it. i've had perogies with canned green beans, scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast (gagged on that, but only when i was almost done eating it), pizza, kraft dinner... oh my gosh, bad bad bad.
