6 weeks

I can't believe I'm halfway through the first trimester, actually. It's been a rough week though..that's for sure! I've had such nausea, I haven't been able to eat anything besides saltines and drink anything besides Sprite. I haven't been able to do anything, really, because I've felt so terrible and been so tired. I was so ready and excited to go to the Doctor's office to be able to get some nausea medicine so that I could hopefully start to feel better and ok a little more. Well, my dream has kind-of come true..we went to the doctor and I did my math wrong, I'm about a week further along than I was thinking. Which makes the due date 03/18/2015..which is only 10 days after Braxton's birthday. :/
I got some nausea medicine and it seems to kind-of be working..a little..I at least can get up without feeling like I'm going to puke every single time so that's good. I think I'll actually be able to take my pills now too without too much trouble. Yay! I still don't feel 100% but it's better than what I was feeling. 
It's funny how different this pregnancy is going to be from Braxton. The doctor said that I'll probably experience things earlier and sooner than I did with Braxton. Which I guess is why I've felt so nauseous lately..I'll probably feel movement sooner, Braxton Hicks contractions sooner, breast tenderness sooner (omg, it's terrible!), and possibly even labor. I've definitely noticed things before I did with Braxton but it's also so different because I was keeping track of my periods and everything, whereas with Braxton, I wasn't. He was our BIG SURPRISE! But anyways, I haven't puked yet and have been able to keep food and fluids in me so I guess that's always a good thing. 
Now, we just can't wait to start to be able to tell people!! Braxton already knows and will sometimes say something but so far it's been quiet enough that no one else has heard it. Haha! I think Heath is excited to start telling people too. Even though, it's stressful..it's still really exciting for us, too! :) 
Only 6ish more weeks to go...
