Have I turned the corner???

I think I have...I honestly think I'm on the Up and Up! Today I had the most energy I've had in 3 months. I didn't even get a lot of sleep last night, and I worked this morning at 7am so I was up at 6 ( thank gosh for no commute anymore). I actually drank my full Americano, I ate breakfast and an orange without choking it down, My vitamin didn't come back out in the sink, and I never once had to throw up! I'm so happy, I think I'm on the Mend.

Now, after I worked all day, I came home, raked the whole back yard, and cleaned out half of my Very large flower Bed, made stirfry for dinner with BEEF, ate it up just fine, and i'm still full of piss and vinigear. I've also blogged a lot, and I don't feel like I'm hunger over...please please please let the heavens allow me to no longer be sick, I'll do anything!!

Speaking of my yard we hired a landscaping company to come and do a good spring clean up with power rake, arrate, and trimming, and cleaning out flower beds. I should of known they'd be crap, they made a huge mess and I'm better doing it myself. I love yard work but I thought i'd be to sick and tired to get through. I suprised myself, I quite enjoyed it, it was good exercise, and its always rewarding seeing a nice yard. We had all our oustide windows washed today, they look great!

Soo all in all I'm SOOO Happy that I feel good, Health is very important.

Oh, to top it off I got a photo Radar ticket in the mail, my first one. I wanted someone to blame it on but i couldn't. I was so mad at myself, I learn my lesson about every 3 years!

Sleepless in Calgary!

Tino had been away all weekend, and I never sleep when he is gone. I got home really late last night from my friends party, it was snowing heeps! I left all the lights on outside so it would be a bright walk from the garage to the door. I was So tired so i left all the lights on outside so no robbers would come creeping into the bright yard, i left the kitchen light on, the hallway light on, my bathroom light on, and slept with the blinds open so the boogy man wouldn't get me and set the alarm. After all that I finally fell asleep. When I got up this morning and came downstairs.........I had left the door unlocked ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!!! I had a good laugh.

11 Weeks

Today Marks 11 weeks Pregnant. I had my pre-natal physical yesterday, and we went through everything. She answered all my questions and concerns and i feel very comfortable with her, and I feel very confident she know's what she is talking about. She is so supportive about all decisions and very open to supporting anything I believe in. She is great, I'm so happy I found her, and I was able to refer her to my close girls!

Although I'm just shy of 3 months, we already started talking about delivery, which OBGYN I'd like to see, what hospital etc. When I really think about it, its only 6 months away. WOW, but in the grand sceme of things, I still need to take things day by day with all day sickness and body changes.

Speaking of being sick, I got the stomach flu on sunday night. HOLY CRAP that was bad. Sunday was the first day I felt good in evening, although I barfed twice in the bay that afternoon hahaha. Tino and I had a nice dinner, went for a walk and had angel food and strawberries for dessert, life was great until 5am. I thought it was morning sickness etc. I had to work at 4pm so i figured I had time to get over it. It never ended, for 2 days. I was in bed for 2 whole days with all the marvelous things that come with the stomach flu. I cried a couple times because I felt so helpless. By tuesday night, I had a trusty Grilled cheese and I was on the mend!!! YAHOOO...who doesn't love grilled cheese, its my staple right now, along with PB and toast! Our life has gone from grilled salmon fancy wine and soft cheese and tomatoes to my staples. Tino is such a trooper!


I just have to say, when i was getting married, my mind was on wedding, photographers, dress, wine, stags, registry, invitations, etc. It was all about the wedding. Now that I'm pregnant, its all about the that. I read it, sleep it, talk about it and ask ALOT OF QUESTIONS!! Thank gosh I have alot of Calgary girlfriends that have had babies. These girls are so honest with me, but in a kind way. Which dr I should choose, where I should deliver, what breast pump should I buy, do put vaseline on the babies bum? What diapers do you love, which sleep book did you follow, How bad did it hurt hahahaha. These girls are pro's already and now that i've asked these questions, it helps me to make a decison based right from the horses mouth as opposed to my book or pregnancy magazine!

Thanks to all my Baby momma friends out there!

Have a great weekend

10 Weeks.....and counting

I reached the 10 week mark on Friday! Me and the girls at work highjacked an ultrasound machine and had a sneak peak at my little bambino (praying for a bambina (Girl) ). Its the size of a Walnut now and it was kicking and punching, swallowing, and wiggling. I could see the 4 chamber of the heart that was beating like crazy. We were screaching, and yelling and laughing and I had tear in my eye's because it's still hard to believe I'm growing that in my tum tum!

Although it's hard to believe, its also hard not to forget. My jeans are getting tight around the midline, even wearing them down low is un comfy, and my scrub pants want to roll down below my tummy. I did buy some maternity jeans but they make me look preggo a little more then I'd like to look so I"m trying to just wear my regular clothes.

This week has been a rough one with feeling sick. Its morning, noon and night. Terrible terrible terrible. Yesterday it was beautiful outside, after I met my friends new baby I came home, crawled into bed and slept for 2 hours. Again, just listening to my body. Speaking of new baby, Paige Dawn Slavich is So adorable, and petite. When I held her she was so easy to snuggle and her skin was so soft. I can't wait to hold my baby close and snuggle it right in tight!

Hopefully less then 2 weeks to go and i will be over this first trimester flu. I compare it to feeling extremely hungover with no relief.

Remember all that bath and body works stuff I blogged about a couple months ago? Thats all out the window now too. I can't stand the smell of it! Call me crazy, but this baby is turning me into a non coffee drinker, vegetarian, sleeping, barfing...cat like action kind of girl!

Exhaustion!!

Is that even a word? Today i feel like i'm suffering from exhaustion. I just finished 6 days of work, I had so many expectations for today. Instead I woke up with a splitting headach, I've been nauseated all day, and its taken me till 2pm to get things done. Now that my house is clean, laundry is done and dinner is in the oven, i might crawl back into bed. Its not normal for me but I've started listening to my body a little more, and try not to over do it.

I walked down the meat aisle for the first time today in safeway in a long time. I had a craving for spare ribs. I bought them, and i'm looking forward to having a nice dinner at home with my husband!

The weather is crap here, but it makes me feel less guilty for crawling into bed for a mid afternoon nap. Thats another reason we planned a winter baby, I can sleep when the baby sleeps, it will be cold and ugly outside so the first 4 months I can take it easy and not feel obligated to have to go outside, or feel like I'm missing out on something because its nice out!

This week's plan!

-Tuesday- Work at my sisters office then have dinner with my girls group ( 2 of us are prego so we have a good laugh)
-Wednesday- Hair appt
- Thursday- I picked up a shift
-Friday- take my truck in for a new( free by the way) windshield.

I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!

I nearly fell off the toilet when i saw the pink line slowly appear. My heart raced, I kept starring at it, and then I spoke out loud....WHAT??? OH MY GOD...I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!




I never thought those words would come out of my mouth....and they did :) Although its hard not to forget I'm pregnant its still very hard to believe at times. Clearly I had every symptom in the book for me to even think of doing a test, but the grand finale was doing the final count on my calender and realizing..whoa...I'm really late, and TADA!!!!!!



Tino and I decieded this was our year, and in conversation we said November would be a great time to have a new baby, both for me and for his schedule. My Dr. said it will take about 6 months after the pill. Well it took about 6 days. We are very lucky and Very blessed that things happened so fast. WAYYYY faster then we had thought but we will definilty get our November Baby!!



I work in Diagnostic Imaging, so my friend who is an Ultrasound tech had a little peak, and here we are at 5 weeks.....its hard to see anything but it was a tiny little popcorn seed! We were leaving to Dominican Republic so I wanted to make sure that everything was okay before we left.

Friday marks the 9 week date for us. We know its still early but we are SOOO EXCITED we CANNOT HIDE IT!! I'm pregnant....how can i forget, i have the most sensitive nose on the face of the earth, I gag and retch all the time, and I will puke at the drop of a hat, all you have to do is ask, or wear perfume. I can't stand morning coffee or even the thought of eating meat. I sleep alot, and read so much about my growing baby. I'm going to have a baby, I'm going to be a mother. We are going to have a family! My unofficial due date is November 12th. I will have a new little baby at christmas, I'm so excited.

I will be blogging often, its like my journal, so I can look back and read about my experience.

Sincerely
Deena and baby Fusco!!
