17 weeks in a nutshell... Maybe lol

At 17 weeks and 2 days, with inspiration from my baby dad (lol) I decided to start a blog. I'm not big on keeping journals and the like but I thought it would be fun to document the rest of the making of my baby lol....

So here it goes... Although I'm looking forward to meeting my baby face to face in April, pregnancy has not been nice to me. You know how people always talk about morning sickness and maybe they will mention back pain?? Well you think the worse that could happen is that you'll have morning sickness at random times. What they fail to inform you about is the fact that you can have morning sickness all day every day for 14 weeks and that it doesn't really go away, that the back pain will be accompanied by headaches and "growing pains", nasal congestion, the fact that you are tired all the time but can't sleep througout the night, and that your body can't fight off anything because your immune system isn't very strong anymore. Yea those great and wonderful things you get to find out on your own and the best part is no meds just Tylenol.. the original, plain, regular strength stuff.

LOL ok now that i got that out of my system.. here goes the good stuff.

I'm due April 24th, which just so happens to be the birthdate of my child's future godmother's son. My boyfriend Omar (who will maybe someday post on here lol) and I are impatiently waiting for November 28th. Why? Because this is the day that we will hopefully find out what we are having. It's not a big secret that we want a baby boy but we will be happy with whatever God decides to give us.

Yesterday we tried to kind of explain that there's a baby in my belly to Omar's youngest and she just laughed. I guess its hard to understand the phrase "there's a baby in there" when you are not even 2 yet. It was cute though.

I do think I felt the baby last night though. Since I'm not really showing yet I can still lay on my stomach so as we (Omar, Nana, and me) were painting our christmas tree ornaments I laid on my stomach just because it was more comfortable for me. As I was working on the santa clause ornament i felt 4 little "kicks" against my stomach. They kind of felt like if I was being poked by a finger.. inside my belly. Maybe the baby was telling me that I shouldn't lay on my stomach so I turned on my side. I wanna try it again just to see if I feel something. If I do then I'll be sure lol.

I'll let you know what happens lol...
