10 in 10

So this wonderful baby growing inside of me has been a learning experience for sure.   Before we found out I was pregnant, I was honestly always concerned on how pregnancy would effect our marriage.  It runs in my family that morning sickness is pretty much 24/7 during most or some of the pregnancy and definitely during first trimester.  But Jon has definitely stepped up and he's been a huge help!  When I'm throwing up constantly in one day he is always uplifting and helping me out.  Whenever he can he comes to work with me and helps me with my nanny job.  These days I can't step into the kitchen...he does the dishes, gets me the food I need, etc.  I am sick the most in the morning, mid-day, and in the evening.  And sometimes it gets really bad if I'm unable to get food in me before "it's too late" and then I can't keep anything down after that.  Except the wonderful help given by my saltines.  This baby is going to like apples!  It's the go-to fruit that I've been able to eat between "meals."  I can also handle strawberries....but enough chat about food.  I feel icky!

Why did I say 10 in 10?  Because in ten weeks I lost 10 pounds.  I'm also looking forward to the day that I can enjoy sitting down and enjoying a FULL meal and not feel sick after it.  I don't even mind if it's not hot.  I just miss that stuff.
So go have fun and enjoy your big cheeseburger and fries and I'll go lay down and hold my stomach and think of my sweet baby growing.
Can't wait to meet this little one!

    Pancakes actually sound good these days! :) Feels like they are filling for the morning. :) My mom has a yummy recipe that's really healthy. I can't eat cheeseburgers for that same reason. The first night I kept throwing up my food and couldn't stop...left me with a stomach ache all through the night. :P I've been throwing up at least once a day (the most was 6 times I think) since February.

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

Image
  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Every Voice Matters

Image
  I was raised in a household where my voice wasn't heard.  My opinions didn't matter, and my questions were not respected.  The space around me was filled with chaos and noise that didn't make sense to me.  I was surrounded by dictatorship in my own home.  I had dominate people directing me and pushing me to do what they wanted me to do.  Meanwhile a few of us sitting back in agony and confusion of why this was able to occur.  This led to my silence, social anxiety, and self doubt.  The voice inside my head never stops.  It takes on overwhelming pressure to make decisions.  It's confusing when I make a boundary.  Growing up the boundaries were constantly broken, and yet I had no clue what was happening.  Especially because of the fact I didn't know boundaries existed.  The voice inside my head wanted to scream and run and yet I had nothing to say that would make them listen. The lack of confidence in every thing I do is portrayed by my ability to fill my living spa

Things that change with a baby....

Image
Two months of changes: Use alarm clock to check length of feedings and not to wake you up. Prepare to have outings take "that much" longer. Lean over to cuddle with hubby and realize he has already left for work. (added later) Husbands call their wives Mommy, and Husbands are called Daddy Touch cold zipper and think you have spit up on you. More poop, more smiles. Perspectives change: dirty diapers a good thing because it means a healthy baby Realizing the amount of junk you eat, because it goes to the baby also Clothes are hardly ever clean and once you get the chance to do a load--she wets or blowouts on more! You get delighted to hear a burp, especially when it finally comes out after one of those middle of the night feedings. Your free-time becomes getting another snack or meal, changing a load of laundry, taking a shower, or updating your grocery list and meal plan. Watching TV/Netflix, checking up on Facebook, or watching a movie takes the p
