Week 7

My blog is so boring. Sorry.
This week I've felt sick off and on, extremely tired and often heart-burny. I've dranken (drunk?) over a gallon of milk though. That should be like a record since I was 10 years old. Tums are a placebo at best.
Brett and I did some work on our back yard and some furinture was delivered today. Our house is getting nicer and nicer every week. Please come visit!
Next week we have our first OBGYN appointment at Kaiser. I'm so excited to have an ultrasound. (One that has nothing to do with my kidneys!) Right after the appointment, I have the season's first softball game. I will try and play unless I feel too sick. But that is all next week. Sorry. Nothing really very interesting this week.
Thanks to those who are officially "following" me. You girls are awesome!

Week 6

Feeling so sick. Burping helps. Cookies do not. My stomache is made of acid and weird gases. It hurts. Ouch.

In other news... The nueral tube is supposed to be closing this week. Brett and I decided we will pay extra to get early chromosonal screenings done during this first trimester. It's free later, but we would want to know asap just in case. This shouldn't offend or surprise our loved ones - no way we would want to keep a baby with down syndrome. Sorry conservatives out there - best not read my blog!

An idea for a girl's name = Andromeda Alexandra or Alexandra Andromeda (either way is awesome! Don't anybody steal it!)(Breezy) ;)

Until next time - Jennifer Alexandra Vega Duncavage

Week 5

According to the website BabyGaga.com, our tiny baby is growing a brain, liver, lungs, pancreas and "limb flippers". Yes, this freaks me out. And it reminds me of a great note that Bridget wrote to Bianca many years ago when they were tripping on acid...
"I am flipped. And/Or Flipper. Are you Flipper too?"

I puked up a breakfast burrito on Sunday. I think that was my first bought of pregnancy-related nausea. But in general I feel ok. Just really tired and hungry all the time.

First Entry, Week 4.

I wanted to keep a journal of this very magical time in my life. Here is how it will begin...
My husband and I have been trying for five months to make a baby. On the first try, the blastocyst did not implant and I miscarried just before Christmas. Then three months of no positive tests. And then... a positive! At this moment (according to the strange medical calculations of due date calendars) I am 4.5 weeks pregnant!
Brett and I are very excited. We just bought our first very own house in Park Hill, Denver, Colorado. We are working tons of hours towards some relaxing vacation time. He is feeding me breakfasts and I am taking my vitamins and all is well with the world.
