The house, bloodwork and sickness

Ok so the house wasn't ready last Friday. But it is ready this week, so thats good. Adam is signing the lease tomorrow, and we are moving on Saturday. Im hoping Sunday I will be buying some pretty fall decorations for the outside :) YAY!
So my bloodwork this morning was NO fun. I am normally not bothered by the bloodwork or needle. I showed the guy the vein to get the blood from since its the only vein I've ever given blood from. Well, he couldn't get it. So he tried the vein in the same spot on the other arm...didn't get it. Then he swore he would get the one in the middle of my arm...and he didn't get that one either. He finally called someone else to give it a shot. She got it from the original vein right away, but did have to take 8 vials. She was pretty shocked I didn't pass out, but I think the awful sugar loaded drink stopped that from happening. Hopefully all goes well with the tons of bloodwork.
So the sickness, it comes often and in full force. Im not throwing up, but I feel like the stomach bug is lingering a lot. I have plenty of nausea and a TON of food adversions. The food adversions seem to get worse as the days pass. Something I eat for breakfast, can make me totally sick by lunch time. The worst is chicken. I can't even cook it. Dinner time is always a struggle. Tonight I was able to cook dinner and eat it! That was exciting. It was only hamburger helper, however I could eat the meat since it was covered in sauce. Carbs are my best friend, and anything remotely healthy...yeah right! I cannot wait until the 2nd trimester, when the sickness doesn't keep me on the couch, the fatigue doesn't keep me on the couch, and I can workout and eat better. Im about 9 weeks, so hopefully only 5 or 6 more weeks to go until I feel better!

The first appointment...

Was a HUGE let down! I expected an exam and the ultrasound and it was paperwork! Boring. She made me get a glucose test because Allie was 9 lbs...sorry lady, my family just has BIG babies. Other than that, I basically put Alle in daycare for her to ask about my history, weigh me and schedule my next appointment, which is November 2nd. The good news about that is its at 5:30 at night so Adam and Allie can both come for the ultrasound. As of right now my due date is May 19th, until I get my ultrasound. So right now Im a little disappointed.

So many exciting things!

The biggest news is that we are moving this weekend! Our house will be ready tomorrow so we are going to sign our lease. Adam luckily has a 4 day this weekend and we were planning on moving Friday, but there are some storms on the way with heavy rains and wind so we put it off until Saturday. We are hoping to get it done all in one shot on Saturday and cleaning out the apartment on Sunday and handing the keys over on Monday. I also have midterms on Tuesday and Thursday and Im pretty nervous about them and how I will get all of my studying done. Allie goes back to school next week after her fall break, and believe me that is surely welcomed! I didn't realize just how nice it was to have those 6 hours a week to myself. I am thirlled that we are moving this weekend because her building is being switched next week and it is actually within walking distance of the new house! I also have my first doctors appt on Wedensday morning so I don't have to worry about driving super far anymore. What a relief! Updates coming soon!

Allie's 2 Year Old Check Up

Allie had her 2 year old check up today. Yes I know, 2 months late! It was a pain to get an appointment in August because it was back to school season so it was either sick appointments or physicals. I called twice and was told they couldn't book an appointment for us. I wasn't stressed because it was just a check up, so I waited until a week or so ago to make an appointment and we got in right away. She was super active and hyper at her appointment and kept the doctor laughing. She is 32.5 inches tall and 26.4 pounds. She was in the 7th...YES 7th percentile for height and 40th for weight. She surely has no chance to be any kind of tall with me as her mother. Sorry Allie! Other than that the doctor said she is doing well and her speech is advanced for her age. He also said we did the right thing by putting potty training off until after our move so she wouldn't regress back to diapers. We are attempting potty training in a few weeks once we are back into a routine in the new house. Shes a little smarty pants and picks up on stuff pretty fast so I think it will go well!
