So. Heartburn effing SUCKS. I've never really had it before, so I never really thought about it. Well, now I get it and It. Is. Awful.
Here's a VERY positive development in the "name game"...
David and I discussed it last night. His main name hang-up is that he doesn't want his boy made fun of for having an unusual name. He said he got made fun of for his last name in school "Power Rangers", "Powers Wheels", etc. MY main name hang-up is that I want my daughter to have a name that's interesting. Something that she won't have to have her last initial tacked after it for her entire school career. I always did, and it's part of the reason that I don't like my name. That's why I spell it the way I do. I REALLY want to change it legally, but I haven't looked into it yet. But that's another discussion.
We decided that for a boy, David will choose the first name, and I will choose the middle name. For a girl, I will choose the first name and David will choose the middle name. We're each going to choose about 5-10 names for each list and see what works best with the other person's lists. It's FAIR, and we can both stick with what we believe in, respectively.
I feel SO much better about this name thing now, even if we only have a couple more weeks till we find out what it will be. I'm also glad we worked this out BEFORE we found out what it will be so that we won't argue about it when it comes down to who gets to pick the first name!
I'm excited about not having to compromise my beliefs about the kind of name I want for a daughter. I'm sure David is relieved that his boy will get a "normal name." I just hope that something on our lists go together! :]

I just had a delicious, satisfying lunch. Tomato soup, a bagel, carnation instant breakfast (chocolate milk), and a few orange wedges. It was so tasty.
Not delicious enough that I hope to taste it again on it's way back up. Please stay down, please stay down.
Thanks,
Linzy
P.S. I would also appreciate it if I could avoid heartburn from you, oh-so-tasty-meal. K thnx, bai.

One of my favorite commercials EVER, is the Tobacco Awareness commercial where three girls are putting a face mask on at a slumber party.
Girl A, fanning her face: This is kind of burning!
Girl B: That just means it's working.
Girl A, BURSTS INTO FLAMES
Tobacco products kill 1 in three users.
End Scene.
Today was pretty rotten, on the general scale of "How are you feeling?" It began at 2:30, as usual, began again around 3:45, and again at about 4:56, ten minutes before David's alarm went off. 5:30, and 6:30. ::sigh::
So, I was tired all day. Tired + nausea = cranky.
Afternoon brought a headache, probably caused by the tired and the cranky.
Late afternoon brought on the very first heartburn I've had in any kind of not-so-recent memory. It's pretty unpleasant. I keep burping up... burning. Chicken and rice should NOT be heartburn inducing. Neither should that doughnut.
Also, I discovered today that I only have 2 pair of pants with which I'm still on speaking terms. One of the two are my green plaid pajama pants. The other pair belongs to David. :(
So I guess all "That just means it's working." ::sigh::

Johanna G=( Im feel so bad for you girlie.....just keep reminding yourself of the big picture. in the end it will all be worth it. Im pretty sure there are OTC meds that are safe for heartburn. Slowly drinking milk helps too.
It may be time to invest in some maternity cloths. I know you didnt want to go there just yet but it should make you feel alil ... See Morecomfort in knowing you are growing. I found cute and simple, and reasonable prices, at Old Navy for maternity stuff. And now that I think of it, I went around 12-14 weeks.

Linzy PowersWe're completely out of milk. :( I ended up trying a home remedy for the heartburn and it made me throw up. I recognized stuff in there from LUNCH. ::sigh:: After that I rummaged through our linen closet and came up with some really old tums-knock-offs.
As for the maternity clothes... I was just going to see if David wanted to buy some new shorts... See More... But I guess I can try Old Navy. The last time I went though, all their maternity stuff was super uggo. I was going to ask when you had to bite it and go for new clothes though... :]

So.
I had my 12 week appointment on Wednesday. It wasn't very much fun. David and I got lost in Tripler (the Army Hospital they send the military preggos to) and whether he knew it or not, we were in a fight and it was his fault we were lost. We made it on time to my appt and the nurse took me into a room to get weighed (yep, still fat. And by that I mean fatter than I should have been before I started gaining baby-weight). When she opened the door to the exam room with the scale, one of the wives from the boat (Sara C.) that I'd heard was also pregnant was sitting on the table waiting for her appointment to begin! Guess that rumor is CONFIRMED!! (She's 16 weeks)
Anyhoo, after that, we went into my exam room and then back out to talk to whatever-kind-of nurse-she-was-with-an-office-and-a-desk. She didn't really care what I had to say. She gave me those"Yeah, ok, but here's what I've been trained to tell you" kinds of responses, so I quit bothering to try and tell her about what I think, what I've been feeling, whatever. Then we went back to the exam room, which was EFFING FREEZING, BTW, and had a very uncomfortable, very ick-factor, all-up-in-my-business exam. She could have at least dimmed the lights and put on a Barry White Album... >:(
After THAT was over, she put some of that... gel-stuff on my stomach and tried to find the heartbeat. Yep, it certainly has one. And it's definitely *my* child because it squirmed away, just to be contrary when David pulled out his phone to record it. He got a little clip of it though. He's pretty pleased with that.
Next appointment is at the end of April. Will be ultrasounding then, at 16 weeks.
In other news, I'm transferring all these notes as they are to my blogger site. I'm transferring the comments too. I am editing the last names down to Initials only, but I do want to commemorate who was commenting and what they said. :]
The reason for the double internetting is that Blogger has a Blog-to-Print option, so if I save these notes, and they're still funny at the end of this pregnancy, then I'll look into the print option and will have a hard copy of the sort-of journal I've been keeping for after the Zombie Apocalypse comes and the technological world as we know has come crashing to a halt. Though, in that event, I'm sure I won't give a fat damn about how yukky I felt during February-October 2010 in light of more important things such as foraging for food and perfecting my one-shot-kills.
I'm transferring them anyway.

The Nausea Chronicles, Entry 14. Or: Definitely Dying.
3.29.10
11wks5days
Last night/the wee early hours of this morn brought a migraine and insomnia. I got MAYBE 3 hours of sleep between midnight last night and 6am when I called my boss to tell her that no way was today happening (paraphrased, of course). I feel so crummy I have the brightness turned waaay down on my laptop because it hurts my eyes. My head is splitting open. The 1 Extra Strength Tylenol I'm allowed isn't strong enough to conquer the pain. I don't know if this nausea is from baby (still grounded), or from Headache of Doom. I've definitely had more migraines since I got pregnant, and I'm not allowed to take medicine that make me feel better. I would KILL to be able to take Advil. i MISS Advil. ::sigh::
Woo, yeah. Let's have a baby.

Linzy PowersNot gonna lie, I'd rather have it cut out of me. I'm just afraid they're gonna make me push for 23 hours first, like my friend back last April had to with her daughter before they figured out that the baby was too big to go that way...

The Nausea Chronicles, Entry 13. Or: Am I Too Early Or Already Behind And Running Out Of Time?
3.27.10
11wks3days
All this baby stuff is putting me in a weird/sad/upset/slightly anxious mood tonight. I feel like I'm already behind in picking out the big stuff because David doesn't have much time at home before deployment, but I'm also not quite 12 weeks long. One of my friends that is also pregnant, but a few weeks less than I am is already buying the big stuff for her potential baby. She just found out for sure last week. I feel like I'm procrastinating... putting off getting the stuff until right before I actually need it. It makes me feel guilty, I guess. David gets deployed in May. He'll only be home for a few short weeks before then, and not consecutively. Should we go ahead and buy a bunch of stuff for a baby we don't know the sex of yet? Should I take advantage of the time we have together to buy and set up the nursery RIGHT NOW? It's almost the end of March. April will fly by and then it'll be time for him to leave. DO we need to hurry?
I also feel like it's RIDICULOUS for me to start buying big stuff yet! I'm not even into my second trimester! I haven't even had my first actual OB appointment! I feel like there's still such a chance that something could go wrong before baby is supposed to be here, and then I'd be stuck with a bunch of expensive baby furniture and reminders of a miscarriage. I guess I feel like this is a gamble. I still don't 100% believe that I'm pregnant. I didn't hear "the heartbeat" at 7 weeks when we tried to find it. I've stopped feeling nauseous so often, and other symptoms have faded too, so I feel normal enough, just tired. I've got plenty of college/lazy fat on my stomach area, so I don't know if it's even going to show when it's time to show. I almost feel like buying a bunch of pee-tests and taking one every now and then just for a confirmation that yep, I'm still pregnant this week... And if I feel like this, how am I supposed to be confident when we buy baby furniture? I'm not concerned about the little stuff right now, that will come in bits and pieces, but the big stuff is freaking me out.
I don't know which set of feelings makes more sense. I don't know why I'm not more excited about this. Maybe it's the prospect of being without David's daily support for the last half of the pregnancy. Maybe it's the thoughts of all the things I'll never do, or have to put off now that there'll be a baby/toddler/child. Maybe they'll sort themselves out when we get closer to deciding on names. Maybe it's just hormones.
I wish it weren't a duty night. 'night y'all.

Dexx RectorI am going to go out and say it is a mixture of a bunch of things. Hormones, David being deployed, and the fact that you aren't home with people you know and trust 100%. As far as the furniture goes some people strategize as to when they will get pregnant and all that. Without knowing the sex if you want to go out and get stuff, try getting neutral... See More sex items. I don't know what those are because it has been 7ish years since I had to help buy baby stuff. I do remember that yellow is a neutral color though. You will be alright though, I have faith.
March 28 at 12:00am ·
Skylar CMy completely uninformed opinion is that everyone takes it differently, and I think you're doing just fine. I think I would probably feel the way you do. The bright side of pregnancy? It's not like you're reinventing the wheel or anything.
March 28 at 12:27am ·
Ric FThings have a way of working themselves out. The worst thing about being pregnant is the unsolicited advice, so Brandi and I won't give any. But if you ever need to talk, just let us know.
March 28 at 1:00am ·
Johanna GHey dont worry so much about the timing or the getting started or anything like that. You enjoy the time you have with David here and make the best of it. Get ideas together of what you both like, talk about everything and focus on your health and not the materials. You are right, you are so early that that dreadful possibility is there so I dont ... See Moreblame you for feeling a little disbelief. Rowdy and I didnt actually buy anything big til the first week of second trimester because I felt the same way. Once the doc said, "OK, you are at the point where miscarriage % decreases", we had our green light. Plus, when David is deployed he isnt going to be totally gone for decision making. He can get on webcam/internet with you and you guys can make choices and then you have us to go with you to get your things. Ill be popped by then so while you babysit Ill build or whatever =) there will be plenty of help for all that. And that offer stands for you and Em-
March 28 at 9:23am ·
Linzy PowersThanks Dexx, you're sweet. I appreciate your vote of confidence! :]
Skylar, your comment about the wheel made me laugh. Thanks, I needed that!
Ric, at this point, I'm welcoming *most* suggestions, and *most people's* suggestions, especially since I'm putting my worries out on the internet for friends to see. If you'd like to offer advice, I'd love to have it. You have 3 beautiful awesome kids, so you're obviously doing things right! What do you think?... See More
Johanna, David and I discussed this morning about what's important to him to be part of, and what he really doesn't care about. We're still figuring things out, but at least we've got some things figured out (closer to figured out). Seeing you and Em geek out about baby gear and nursery stuff just made me feel all weird and of-track, haha.

Yesterday was what I thought was a turning point in the death that has been pregnancy so far. It was a lie and baby was actually just luring me into a false sense of security so it could kill me all last night and today.
I felt GOOD yesterday. Hardly any nausea, not tired till the evening, and then I sat in bed to relax after running errands after work and nearly died when I *tried* to get up. My lower back had tightened up, for no apparantly reason and wasn't letting go to relax. I tried to stretch it back out (like you do with leg cramps and such), but it was having none of it. That lasted for several hours. When it went away, the insomnia kicked in, and I saw 2:45. 3:45. 4:25. 6:15. Then the nausea woke up, and attacked. It's all I can do to choke down 3 Ritz crackers with peanut butter. And this applesauce is the most disgusting applesauce in the history of all applesauces.
It's nice though, that when one of my other friends, also pregnant, texts me, "Have a good day, good luck not killing anyone." I can text right back, "Thanks. You too!"
I'm getting a heating pad TODAY. If there's a sock on the door, do not disturb.

3.22.10

David and I are still going roundabout on names. He either likes really weird names from books (Think Wheel of Time and Terry Pratchett Books), or really vanilla plain names that I don't like. I like really interesting names for girls, and *mostly* slightly more traditional ones for boys.
I've been thinking about the nursery I want and the dynamics of our house and what days might be like after baby is here. Right now I've pretty much decided I want a bassinet to go in our room/baby's room until baby grows out of it and needs a crib in his/her own room. I want a rocker/glider in baby's room, and probably a changing table. I want to get a Pack 'n' Play for downstairs (which has a bassinet part and a changing part on it that are removable as baby grows up!). I feel pretty confident that that will work for us. I can probably get most of those, if not all of those from Craigslist or yardsale or consignment stores. And if not, I've got 29 weeks and 2 days to save up for them.
One thing I HAVE decided on, is baby's first Halloween costume: I'll be a butterfly and baby will be a caterpillar! (Though, depending on how I feel I might be a busted chrysalis and baby can be the butterfly, hahaha
The nausea is lessening ever-so-slightly, but the insomnia is kicking in. I guess it's good practice for being woken up every couple of hours by my bladder and then by baby as time progresses... But it SURE does make long days at work hellish. The less sleep I get, the worse the nausea is also...
No crazy cravings. No heartburn (yet, though I heard about and dread it's coming). I have been trying to eat healthy-is-ly... I'm having peas and a string cheese and a sprite for snack. Hey, it's a veggie and a dairy!
I can't believe I'm almost done with the first trimester... As of last week, I'm 1/4 of the way through! It'll still be 60,000 linzy-years till the end though. And it's not even an end, it's a beginning...

The nausea is lessening ever-so-slightly, but the insomnia is kicking in. I guess it's good practice for being woken up every couple of hours by my bladder and then by baby as time progresses... But it SURE does make long days at work hellish. The less sleep I get, the worse the nausea is also...
No crazy cravings. No heartburn (yet, though I heard about and dread it's coming). I have been trying to eat healthy-is-ly... I'm having peas and a string cheese and a sprite for snack. Hey, it's a veggie and a dairy!
I can't believe I'm almost done with the first trimester... As of last week, I'm 1/4 of the way through! It'll still be 60,000 linzy-years till the end though. And it's not even an end, it's a beginning...
Chasta GU could always name her Chasta...HAHA! Thats a very unique and uncommon name. Just and idea! lol

Linzy Powersactually, your name always mixes me up because I only knew the name Shasta till I met you and I always have to stop and think before I pronounce your name! (I know it's not that hard, but I have to do it anyway) I do like the name Morgan though... :]

Deb RSounds like you are making peace, and a plan with the baby paraphenalia.
I ate tums like Spree candy during my pregnancies, and the old wives tale was true, both had LOTS of hair! Ryann came out looking like Elvis....seriously!

Keri WCami's Name was supposed to be Phoenix Reign! Then I decided once we found out she was a girl that that name didn't suit her LOL! I think Camille Sierra suits her well!! Addisyn's first name was EASY!!! Her middle name was the difficult part (Makaia) we still have yet to agree on a boys name with any of our pregnancies!! I wish you Luck!!! i like the busted Chrysalis Idea LOL!!!

Chasta GWell its prounounced like Shasta..but my mom was very wierd and changed it from an S to a C. I have no idea why. And yes Morgan is a beautiful name, it can go for either boy or girl.

Deb RI've always like boyish names for girls. Which explains Ryann.....I also loved Jensen, but there is a formula 1 racer named Jensen Button that Scott was not a fan of. But there used to be an actress named Jensen Buchanen on a soap called "Another World"....and I always loved it. Ryan Haddon is the daughter of a model Dayle Haddon, and Christian ... See MoreSlater's wife. When I read the name years ago i loved it. And believe it or not we run into girl Ryann's. All spell it differently.
For boys we've always loved Hebrew names...not sure why, neither of us are Jewish.

Jessie RI like Morgan - and Jordan - things that could be a boy or a girl. (Heck, "Jessie," if you don't know how to spell it....) I wish you weren't so far away :( Baby shower in Chas for sure, ok??

Linzy PowersJess you wanna throw me one? I might be home in July-ish, depending on how things (health, money, schedules) play out!

Soda is a big no-no. The carbonation made the heartburn TERRIBLE. Anything tomato based also made me feel bad.
BTW, on the subject of milk. I've been buying smart balance with Omega and yadda yadda. It tastes super creamy...like 2% but it is low fat, AND lots of added good stuff for you and baby!
I've also been having TONS of these sort of burps, but no air comes up, nothing shifts, it's just awful and uncomfortable. I'd been considering drinking Sprite just so the bubbles would give me something to burp! :(
I like that you spell your name with two X's. It makes your name unique. :]
