Paranoid Preggo?

I have told myself and told myself, "You will not be a crazy paranoid pregnant woman!" Well I guess I am not crazy paranoid, but I am paranoid, I am already driving myself crazy! ((My sister would already be annoyed with me for sure!))
It's just that I keep wondering with every little pain or tick if everything is ok. Or if I can eat this or eat that. If I should do this or that. Should I not be doing this? I was hoping I could be one of those cool, calm, and collected pregnant woman that just sit back and enjoy! That's how I would prefer it. I need to just get out of my head. (easier said than done!) This is when I begin to really hate the analytical part in me.
Anyways...the nausea has really been kicking my butt this morning. Absolutely NO appetite. I made breakfast and threw it in the trash. I'm just yuck feeling. I brought some dry cereal to work, hopefully I can get myself to munch on that a little.

So far

Well tomorrow I will be 5 weeks. No real morning sickness yet. Which is a mixed blessing. They say morning sickness means nothing more than a healthy pregnancy. But people who don't get morning sickness still have healthy pregnancy and babies. I have been fighting to eat lately. I'm hungry, but when I get to eating I don't have an appetite for what is in front of me. Or if I am at home nothing in the house seems edible for me!! Not all the time, but quite a bit. I just force myself to eat something. My stomach area is still bothersome, or should I say uncomfortable. I am trying to change my diet and habits. I want to be more healthy. I am concerned about what I drink though. When at home I am a big water person. Which is good for you, but I read an article yesterday about how it may not be safe to drink tap water while pregnant. Well we have well water, but just the same what about the chemicals all the farmers around us use. I am sure that can get into my well. I haven't decided what to do about this. I can't afford a water cooler at home, bottle water will probably get very expensive. Anyone have any thoughts or advice I would appreciate your thoughts. Or anything you drink while pregnant. I have to have liquid at all times. I have completely cut caffeine since last week. I am doing pretty well with that.

In other news....this weekend I am going to Bastrop to see my memaw and papaw. It's only 2 hours away (so much closer) They are camping for the week. Hopefully Aunt Kathy, Christy and the boys will come also, and I can see them.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

I'M PREGNANT! = )

WOW! What an amazing gift. I am so happy right now. I feel like I need to put the world on speed dial and call everyone! I am so excited....and scared! I have never done this before! I just ask for everyone to pray with me that I have a healthy pregnancy and baby at the end. I am so nervous and of course have all kinds of fears running around. I pray I can just relax and calm down and give it to God, and remember that HE is in control.
Clint says he knew already. Said he keeps track of my cycle and my body, and he knew. I guess maybe, but when I told him he sure seemed surprised! Clint's birthday is this weekend. I wish I could be one of those people who make plans to have baby carrots, and baby back ribs, with baby drinks, or a DADDY card that says happy birthday you are a daddy! Or a shirt wrapped in a box as a birthday gift that says DADDY or something......but I can't wait. I have to tell everyone NOW!
I am barley just pregnant. Missed my cycle by one day and took a home test and went to the Dr. The online pregnancy calendar puts me at 4 weeks. I guess we will find out later when my real due date is.
I was feeling some symptoms that made me anxious to take the test. My stomach felt funny and tight feeling. Almost bloated but not bloated. and my milk makers where hurting. Kinda confused me, wasn't sure if I was going to start or something else. But I knew it felt off!
Anyways....wanted to let ya know! Keep us in your prayers.
*muah*

Las Vegas

My sister and I will be going to Las Vegas next month. My dad is turning 50 this year and we are going to help him celebrate! He is meeting us there. I am so excited, I know we are going to have a wonderful time. (although, I am a little nervous, but I think thats because I watch a little too much CSI Las Vegas!) Anyway I have been looking online at some things for us to do besides just the casinos. We are staying at the MGM Grand, so I have been looking in that area. I am a little sad about what I found. There is a lot to do, but everything cost about $100 per event. I thought circus ohlea might be fun, but its a hundred bucks. I thought we would see the magician ( I can't remember his name) but thats a hundred bucks, maybe go to a concert, but BON JOVI is the week before (That made me cry.....I would have paid the hundred) The spa, well I am not even going to share those prices!!! *OUCH* I know everyone is thinking, well what did you expect, but really I didn't think a hundred dollars to go do something. I guess Chris and I will just have to walk around see things, but not join in! I know we are still going to have a blast!!!

Small Town Living

I just want to say how I love living in a small town. It is so different from living in the big city. Our town has about 1900 people(at last census, although probably less now) Our county, probably 6000 although that is just a guess. It hit me on Saturday, when I was in the grocery store getting a couple of things. As many of you know I use to work in a dentist office. I was there for about 5 years. Anyway, I had a patient and her mother come up to me while I was in the store and tell me how much they really miss me. I don't know these people other than from my previous job. But we bonded on a professional level. She told me about her daughters last check up and that everything was good. Said she just wanted to tell me they miss me. I thought that was the nicest thing! But not just that. When I go anywhere, I know people. They wave or come talk for a minuet. You can walk down the street and feel ok to wave at someone. Or even just passing on the road! Everyone waves at everyone on the road.
I love small town living! (Who'd a thought?)

Well Primaries Are Over

Ok, so yesterday was the primaries for the presidential election of 08'. I voted yesterday (obviously) and it was an experience. I have never voted in the primaries before. I really have not cared as much as I do know. It's kinda strange for me to have this new desire for politics. I never have paid much attention. And when I say politics I don't mean the fussing and fighting and arguing, but the search for our leaders of America.
Anyways, I am on a new hunt now. Huckabee didn't make it to be a nominee. =( So I am on to researching the others again. I think I know who I will pick based on the only options I have. My husband said we should just keep Bush in the White House because of who we have to choose from. I'm not so sure, I don't agree with him!
Maybe Huckabee will run again in 4 years.
