9 Weeks and Counting...

Today, I am 9 weeks 5 days and I've been feeling so much better than I was a couple of weeks ago. First of all my doctor took me off from work again for bursitis. Being pregnant, there is very little that I can do about it and my primary doctor will not see me at all while pregnant. I haven't had any problems resting my arm because I've had absolutely no energy. Seriously I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been out of the house in the last month. Pretty bad, I know! Thanks to my wonderful husband who has been home lately and helps me out so much. In the beginning I was really nauseous up until last week sometime. This didn't happen with Jaycelyn or Noah so this is new to me. It would've been okay if it would've just been around one time during the day, but NO it was all day every day unless I was laying down. There were some days that I just pretty much didn't even get out of bed unless I had too. The weird thing though is I had an enormous appetite and really wanted to eat but couldn't. As a matter of fact, I still have an enormous appetite. Maybe that is why I have popped out all of the sudden in a matter of days. Baby or just fat, whatever it is, I'm measuring at 33 inches and the baby is now the size of a prune measuring at 1.5 inches long.

Speaking of food, while I'm on the subject. A while back Jason decided that we together should cook something new every friday night. Something that we didn't eat often or just looked really good. Maybe this was his way of having be bring in some new things to the menu. Either way, that was kind of gonna be like an extra date night. We didn't have to spend any money going out and we got to do something together in the comfort of our own home. Jason loves to eat so he is always up for finding new things. This is the same person who decided he was going to cook dinner one night and while he was out grocery shopping, came home with 2 new skillets, 2 knives, and a blender! Haha, crazy, I know. And the blender was for homemade salsa in case you're wondering. That's Jason, he's definitely one of a kind. :) So anyway, he started working out of town a lot and we weren't able to continue doing this. Hopefully we will start doing this again because I really enjoyed it.

We did cook something together the other night though because someone on a forum I was on said something about stir fry and I was like OMG, I have to have this now. I really wanted Mizu (Japanese) but we just made our best version. Chopped mushrooms, broccoli, squash, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, beef, and fried rice...

Yum!!
