House Hunting

We are looking to buy a home right now. It is very exciting but makes me a nervous wreck at the same time. It probably doesn't help that I am pregnant and my hormones are like a million time worse then they have ever been. So we have looked at a few houses and found one we liked but then I found another one I really like but the price is way to much. More then what we want to have to pay. We made an offer on it anyways and they sent back a We'll think about it. I am not sure it that is good or bad. I guess we will see. It is perfect though. It's in a great area and quite. It is just perfect if you ask me. Now I am comparing it to other homes we are looking at and I know I shouldn't do it but I am and it is so hard to stop. It even has a red front door. I love it!!!! As for my pregnancy, It is still the same. I am still sick as ever and I can tell and I am sure others can tell now that I am pregnant. The joys of having more then one child is you get to show earlier. I wasn't no Skinny Minny either though. LOL. I go for my first midwives appointment on the 9th of September. I am really looking forward to it. I will also hopefully be putting some new belly pictures up soon. We are definitely slacking in that department. As of today I am 10 Weeks 4 Days Pregnant. My pregnancy chart also says" your little scrapper has already developed defense mechanisms to protect them on reflex!" How cool is that. I can't wait to find out the sex. Not long now!!!!

Sick and Fruit Cups

I am 9 weeks 5 days today and I feel horrible. Yesterday and today haven't been the best of days. I have had a hard time keeping anything down. I actually think I might have picked up a stomach bug or something on top of the whole pregnancy symptoms. It is getting so bad that I might end up at the ER so I can make sure I am not dehydrated. I thought about going yesterday but was able to keep down some water before I went to bed. Chris kept Caleb today so I could rest this morning. It was so nice to rest for awhile. He is such a good man.So tonight I wanted a fruit cup so bad (I have had this thing for fruits and veggies) so we all went real fast to go get one and on the way out the door Caleb told his daddy "We are going to go get a fruit cup for the baby cause it's hungry". It was so funny and of course Chris had to throw in "Did mommy say that"? No, why on earth would I say that. HaHaHa So when we get there we order. By the way there is no menu or prices on anything. So we are like ok whatever. I get a fruit cup and corn and Caleb gets ice cream and Chris gets a fruit cup and pepsi. It came out to like $22 even. That is so freakin expensive for everything. I think I will be making my own fruit cups from now on, But they were sooooo Good.

9 Weeks Today

All I have to say is I am so tired of throwing up !!!!

Sushi

I love it so much. It is the best thing in the whole world. I would rather eat sushi then anything else. So Chris, Caleb and I decided we were going to go to a Japanese Steakhouse for dinner tonight. It's called Shoguns, Check it out if you are ever in Midland. It is really fun and the food is great. So anyways I haven't really been much on chicken or beef since I have been pregnant. It just doesn't taste right to me so I have been ordering the veggies or stealing Chris's since he doesn't eat them (Shame on him). Well tonight I got the veggie plate and then ordered a Spider Roll and some Unagi. It was so good I just had to come on here and let you know. I think I am going to go back sometime this week even if it is by myself to get some more. Yummo. So anyways here are a few pictures of what I had. Oh yeah and about sushi. It is pretty safe to eat sushi that has cooked fish or cooked whatever you are eating. Plus it just depends on the person too. I mean look at all the Japanese women who eat raw fish all the time and they have perfectly normal healthy babies. Also here is a link if you want to know a little more. Sushi Link

Nothing New

So just wanted to give a little update to let everyone know how it's going. I have my good days like yesterday where I felt so productive and then days like today where I feel like I haven't slept in years and my whole body hurts like I have the flu. Ughh, No fun especially with a 4 year old who wants you to get up so he can do some karate moves on you. I am hoping tomorrow I will have some energy so I can finish cleaning my house. Chris has been really good about picking up when I decide the house can just stay messy. HaHaHa He is a BIG help and doesn't even complain when I go lay down and do nothing. My morning sickness has really chilled out a lot too. I thought it never would. I still feel a little queasy but nothing major. So I have had my first real craving...Are you ready ????

Yep It's A Baby

So this is how my day started out. I woke up around 7 ish and did my morning ritual. I ate some toast to put something in my tummy so I wouldn't barf and drank 2 bottles of water to fill my bladder. Caleb got up and I got him dressed since it was already 8:30 am and we were leaving the house around 9:15 am to head to my sonogram appointment. Next thing I know I feel awful, like I was about to throw up my insides. (Yeah maybe to much info but if you don't like it quit reading because through out my pregnancy it is just going to get worse). I went running for the Toilet and stayed there right up until we left. Chris said I will never understand you women. I was like what are you talking about, He said Well you can't wait to get pregnant but then all you do is throw up non-stop. I just rolled my eyes since I felt awful and I really didn't want to talk but I was thinking "Yeah but in the end it is so worth it". I tried to drink some more on on drive to the sonogram but every time I took a sip I felt a little more worse then before. So ok I maybe got down half a bottle of water, Not good at all since you need a pretty much full bladder for you to get a good picture on the sonogram. We get there and the lady is all telling me "You didn't fill your bladder like you were suppose to"!! Well I would have love to but I was to busy throwing up non-stop thank you very much. So anyways back to the sonogram... Guess What???? It's A Baby!!!! Everything is fine. We saw our cute little Chappell Baby even though the picture was not very clear due to me not filling my bladder.. Blah Blah Blah. We even saw and heard the heartbeat and my husband is just to funny and if my bladder was full I am sure I would have had an accident. After he heard the heartbeat he was all like It's Daddy's Little Tadpole.. He is something else let me tell you. Caleb was there too but he is only 4 and is not really understanding everything that is going on yet, even though we tried to explain it to him. Oh but he will as soon as we have this baby. HaHaHa.. So my due date is still the same.. yay.. I am due the First Day of Spring.. Yay I love Spring Babies.

I am Due March 21, 2009
7 Weeks 3 days Pregnant
226 Days until my due date
33 weeks to go

Chappell Baby (can you see the baby) ??

Weekend in Hobbs

So let me catch up here.. We went for the weekend in Hobbs, NM. We had a garage sale with my sister, my niece's 1 st Birthday and went to the races all in the same day. It was fun though. I feel sorry for my sister and her family though for the simple fact that I was pretty much a miserable person while I was there. My stomach was non-stop hurting. It pretty much felt like I was so bloated that I was going to explode. I finally figured it out the last night we were there though. My Prenatal Pills were the cause so I just quite taking them. I am now taking these all organic ones that seem to be doing the trick. No tummy aches yet. (Knock on wood). So anyways back to the races. It was really neat. The first time ever for Caleb or me to go. Chris has been to a few already when we lived in San Antonio so yeah he doesn't count. HaHaHa.. We saw a car flip and everything pretty cool.. no one was hurt though thank god. It was also fan appreciation night so the race car drivers made all kinds of goodie bags for the kids. We were able to walk around on the track meet a few of them and then pretty much walked from car to car to get a goodie bad. Kinda like Halloween, Caleb had a blast. He was so tired though that after getting the goodie bags he was sitting in my lap and passed out. I am still not sure how he fell asleep with all the noise of the loud race cars. All in all it was a really good weekend.

Caleb dirty and tired at the races but look at that cute smile.
