Memorial Weekend

My holiday weekend is pretty laid back.  Friday I had pain in my lower left abdominal.  Saw the doc and had an ultrasound to rule out what was causing the pain.  Uterus is tilted towards rectum so baby position was putting pressure on lower left side.  Glad to know that it wasn't anything serious. 

Left work early.  Came home and rested a bit and then worked a bit and then met up with Pang, Pang's mom, and Wendy at the Chinese buffet.  I was craving crayfish and the owner made two special plates for us.  Ate most of it and felt sick afterwards.  Not sure if it was old, but it had a funky smell to it.  It didn't taste as good as before.  Could probably blame it on the pregnancy.  hahaha  Anyway, came home and surfed on the net for a bit adn then called it night.  Had to get some sleep before heading out to Lincoln city the next morning. 

Saturday - Woke up at 7:30am.  Showered, dressed and helped booboo dressed.  Jio had not come to pick us up yet so I headed to Best Baguette to grab a couple of Vietnamese sandwich.  Headed to Pang's mom's house and everyone was still getting ready.  Geez louis!  Some people take FOREVER to get ready.  I am guilty but not this time.  I didn't even put make up on or fix my hair.  Just showered and blow dried and go!  lol  Anyway, finally everyone was ready and we headed to the coast.  It seemed like a very long drive but it wasn't that bad because I had Pang's mom to conversate with.  Yes, always nice talking to OG.

Arrived at Lincoln city and headed to the Tanger Outlet mall.  Looked around all the stores to see if they had any maternity clothes but there weren't any.  Not even a Motherhood store.  Tagged along with the others from store to store.  I didn't EVEN buy anything.  NOTHING.  After a couple of hours, I was super hungry.  I headed back to the car and ate my sandwich and then I got tired after I finished the sandwich and slept in the car waiting for the others.  When I woke up from my nap, the others had not come back yet.  Then I went to look for them and they were still shopping.  I felt like eating California sushi rolls so I bought some.  Dang took them forever to make!!  I was getting annoyed.  Finally got them after 40 minutes of waiting.  Ate and eh didn't fill me up or satisfy me.  Then the others called and said they were done shopping so we are going to eat.  We to Thai Jasmine restaurant.  We order lots of food but I only ate a little bit.  The food was ok.  I had better else where.

After we ate, we drove along the coast to do some sightseeing.  Wow, it was beautiful (as usual).  We even stopped by the beach so that the kids can have some fun in the sand and water.  Not so fun cleaning sand off their pants and legs, and feet.  Then we all headed home.  Got back to Pang's mom's house, we hung out and talked for a few hours and Yi and Zee took us home around 11:30pm.  It was a long day.  Glad to hit the sheets.

Sunday - Woke up at 8am and talked to mom for about 40 minutes.  Shared with her the trip to the coast and the docs appt on Friday.  Always a joy to talk with mom.  She's my best friend.  I'm glad to still have her in my life.  I miss her dearly.

Getting ready to finish some work and then will head out to Pang's mom's house to make some goodies and papaya salad.  YUMMY!!! 

Graduation in Spokane was ok.  It was great to see an old HS friend.  Saw an old friend as well but no attempt to conversate.  Don't want to stir up anything.  LOL

Headed to Seattle on Sunday.  Went to see Space Needle.  When we walked around the tower, Prince said he was getting sick and was afraid of heights.  Bummer...  Then after the Space Needle, we went to eat and looked around town for a bit and then came home.  We got home 11:30pm.  We were all super tired!!!

Had my last appt with the specialist on Monday afternoon.  Doc said baby is growing to about 3cm.  Heart rate is 179.  I can start my journey with my regular OB now.  Made my first appt - May 21st.  I'm excited on this new journey...  :-)

Today is quite sad. My in laws were supposed to be here tonight but because they have been under the weather for a couple of weeks now they are not coming anymore. We are sad, especially Prince because he has been counting down the days. I finally broke the news to him last night that his grandparents aren’t coming anymore. He was sad and keep asking, “why, why, why?” I just told him that they were really sick and get can’t get on the plane. He accepted it as is.

Update on pregnancy – still no sickness just extreme fatigue and always hungry. I have gained 10lbs in the last 3 weeks! It’s not a joke! Nothing fits now. My clothes are tight, especially my pants. Can’t button anymore…

We are going to a graduation party this weekend in Spokane, WA. I went shopping and found nothing. Literally nothing fits!! I tried on dresses, shirts, blouses, and etc… I have to admit it is a bit depressing. I’m not big enough to wear maternity clothes yet but not small enough to wear my normal size clothes either! Arghhhh. Thank god I didn’t buy anything prior to finding out that I was prego.

Had another dr's appt yesterday.  Saw the heartbeat again and heart rate was 149.  Baby has double it's size from last week. Doc said everything looks good.  I'm excited and it has finally sunk in.  I am really pregnant!  There's a little body inside on me.  Whoohoo!!

Still no morning sickness but just extreme fatigue, exhaustion, and hunger.  Breast tenderness is getting there.  Ouch!  Gained about 10lbs in the last 3 weeks!! 

I have one more appt next Monday with the specialist then I'm on my journey to see the OBGYN.  Yay!!!!!!

On another note, my in laws are not coming anymore.  They were supposed to be here tomorrow and go to the graduation party in Spokane with us then off to Seattle on Mother's Day.  Sad...

Hmmm

Been having light spotting off and on.  The doc said not to worry about anything.  Doc said progesterone level was low so she prescribed more meds.  Been reading on the net about spotting, so many people with different stories.  It did ease my mind a little.  It said that as long as you're not having red heavy spotting and cramps then there's nothing to worry about.  I'll just keep my fingers cross that everything will be ok.

Been super tired and exhausted lately.  I just want to sleep all the time.  Food just doesn't taste good anymore.  Somehow salad has been doing justice for me though.  Is that enough for right now since I can't really eat anything?  I tried Indian food today and it was not appealing at all.  I just ate because I was hungry but then I felt really sick afterwards.  Ughhh... 

Came home and slept for a few hours and now just laying low watching Avatar with my booboo.  Hopefully the fatigue and exhaustion is only temporary.  Can't wait until the second trimester...

On another note, received a surprising phone call.  It made my day!
