This.Is.Hard.And.Men.Fail.To.Realize.That.
Seriously.
All I wanted was some dumb soup. Walmart didn't have it, the sub place didn't have it, Walgreens didn't have it. So, I didn't get it =(
I reaaaaaaaally wanted it, too.
I even called my mom to find out the name of the soup.
Well, so we bought a bunch of fruit snacks(I feel like Mike was getting upset about that. I mean yes, a box of fruit roll ups costs $2 or $3 but I really wanted it!). Now I feel icky.
My back is killing me. I streched my back by putting my arms into the air and leaning back and I hurt my tummy a little, which is now showing a little bit =D
So, I don't know. I am sore all over and all that's gonna help is a back massage but it's 2 am =(

http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/pregnancycramping.aspIt also could be round ligament pains, but when in doubt call your provider or call a nurseline to be sure. Mike might be feeling a little underappreciated and stressed out. I'm not excusing at ALL what you're going through, hey, you're the one carrying the baby! Sometimes though, guys can get a little stressed out with all the babying. I know I had to tell myself to let my husband know how thankful and lucky I was. Sometimes with the high maintenance, it can take their toll. Maybe give him a day "off" so to speak while you go to get a massage! (Make sure to find a place certified in prenatal massage!) With my last pregnancy, it was a LOT harder, but I had to stop myself from being overly needy. Not to say I didn't feel like s**t, but I know I hate it sometimes when my husband gets sick. The emotional rollercoasters don't help a crap either and I think guys underestimate too, that hormones totally reek havoc on us! There are websites, books for expectant dads. Maybe look into a support group for him. He might just be overwhelmed and not understand what all is going on, physically and emotionally. Hang in there!

Thankyou so much, Luna =D The cramps are never too bad, more than anything, they're just uncomfortable. I usually just rub my tummy and try to relax. I only had one sharp pain along one side but that was weeks and weeks ago, just after we found out. I think Mike's getting better. He is having a tough time because we might be moving and we may have to get rid of the dog, which he loves alot. So, I'm sure it's hard on him, too. But at the same time, I think that he sometimes forgets about how I feel. I did end up crawling into bed crying but he woke up before I started crying. It was probably close to 3am and he offered to give me a massage, which helped so much. I was really suprised he did that. I mean, of course he offers to give me back rubs and such but at that early and he had to be up at 5am, I just felt so happy and important ^_^ I think we'll take your idea and look into some support groups for him. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell him how I'm feeling and what I'm going through all the time. He gets worried but all he can suggest is to ask other women. I tell him that all women are different but that's all he really knows to say. Maybe a support group for soon-to-be-daddies will be really helpful for him =D Thankyou! heart

That just wasn't fair! >.>
I hadn't eaten anything all day. The only thing I did eat was some ice cream and it came up about a minute later, no kidding.
So, after I puked up the vanilla icecream, I decided to take a nap from like, 3pm till about 6pm. Somewhere around 9pm, I decided I was ready to eat. I had already passed up a pizza that made me sick just smelling it. I actually had to ask Mike to leave the room while he ate it >.<
So yeah, I decided I wanted a Big Mac. And I really, really wanted it. So, I asked Mike and he said only if I came with >.>
It's so cold out and I'm exhausted as it is! It was probably about 10 degrees or less with wind chill. I begged him to go and he wouldn't.
So, I asked his friend if he would and I said I'd pay him $50(I really felt like I needed the dumb Big Mac)and he said he'd do it on his bike. That meant alot to me. Mike said no because he didn't want to pay him. So I asked Mike if he would go then and again, no.
I was pratically in tears around 12 am when I was feeling really weak and shaky. I woke him up and asked him to go to Taco Bell for me. Again, no. Hell, I was bauling before he got out of bed to help me look for food and I only asked him to help me because I was feeling so damn weak.
crying
I do not understand how he can go from being so sweet like lastnight to being so mean and not willing to get me something when I hadn't eaten a thing all day!
He may be having a hard time dealing with the sudden changes but I'm the one carrying this baby and worrying about if I'm eating enough and suffering through a headache!
I almost fell on the stairs eariler because I didn't step on a stair right. I stepped on the tip of it(where it goes downward onto the next step)and nearly fell backwards. I grabbed the wall so quickly. If he fell or even tripped, no big deal for him. Worst thing would be a bruise(there was only about three stairs from the landing and it's a big landing. Unless he or I fell and then rolled, we'd be okay, assuming that's how it happened)but I have to worry about so much >.< Only reason I was downstairs in the basement anyway was cuz I was hungry and when I'm hungry, I have a harder time sleeping. All I asked for was a stupid burger...
And what's worse is I called my mom today, twice, and she never called me back. I just wanna talk to my mommy and I can't call the house after 10pm because my grandma is working 90+hours a week and I can't wake her up. Although I don't know why they don't turn the phones off upstairs at night >.>
Sorry for the ranty thing, just stressed by everyone/thing.

If you're having a really hard time keeping things down, then anything you want to eat is really important TO eat.
However, even though you're pregnant, if you CAN get yourself something, you need to do it. Only have Mike do it if you 100%, seriously are incapable of doing it yourself. It's better for you and him that way.
If you keep down only one or two things a day, you need to talk to your doctor. You can get ill or dehydrated from lack of proper nutrition and vomiting.
Good luck, I'm rooting for you!

Good luck, I'm rooting for you! Thanks^^ I'm feeling alot better and able to actually keep things down now, which I'm grateful for. The reason I got upset was because McDonalds was way too far for me to walk. I got tired and exhausted from walking about three blocks, and it's at least 6 away. Lately, I've just been asking him for something if he's already up and it's inside the house but I'm so exhausted that I can't walk all that far and his parents weren't available at 12am xP I'm not eating that well because there's just nothing in this house that's either okay to eat(either it's someone else's food or I can't eat in for one reason or another). But I'm moving home in a month or so and my mom has promised to cook me whatever I want^_^ And she's been really great since we told her. She calls me every few days and asks me how I'm doing and tells me what I should be doing and eating. She's excited that I'm coming home.

Um, do you not have a driver's license? You need to get one, if not.

Well, that's something. Just trust me, the more pregnant you get, and especially when you have a newborn, walking or taking the bus is just not going to be practical or fun whatsoever.
A license doesn't cost very much at all... and you can always borrow someone's car. Trust me, it's very worth it.
You know I don't normally come down on you on pretty much anything, but honey, this is really important. You wouldn't want something to happen where in an emergency you needed to drive somewhere and couldn't, would you?
If you're becoming a mom, it's way past time to get your license.

And not to sound like a total b***h, or like I'm trying to gang up on you, but if you can't/won't get your licence, I'd start looking into finding people to drive you places if you ever have an emergency or need to get someplace asap. Your family, Mike's family, a close friend, another family member, etc. As Savina said, it's not practical to take a screaming baby on a bus if you need to get to the doctor or a hospital or something.

I don't have much time because I'm supposed to be packing but I'm moving this weekend back home.
My Grandma has decided she's going to let me live there and all I have to do is help out with the things I can do like cleaning dishes and stuff like that. I'm probably gonna help pay for food, though.
Um..what else? I'm leaving Sunday.
I can't think of much else >.<;
But my GodMother and my Grandma have cars and are willing to help drive me wherever.
Damn what else xD
I can't think anymore xD I was gonna say something else but I forgot.
Well, she said if something doesn't work out between Mike and I, that I always have a place to stay with the baby. That's what I was gonna say xP Hopefully that doesn't happen and no one wants it to but it's just good to have that bit of info.
Also, she's giving me the room in the basement for me and the baby. ^_^ I'm happy. Can't say I was expecting this from my Grandma. Everyone in my family is happy, even her and I wasn't expecting that!
She has a big yard and there's a nice playground close by as well as stores and resturants and the like. I'm happy^^;
Mike's parents are...fine, I guess. His dad is being an a*****e saying that me and the baby would NOT be welcome here if I had to come back but his mom is saying we'd be welcome but hopefully wouldn't stay that long.
We both know there's no way in hell we're going to be able to make it on our own without someone to watch the baby and we're not gonna pay for child care or let his parents watch the baby >.> My mom and Godmother are soo excited to watch the baby. Everything is working out ^__^

Well, I'm glad you've got people being supportive. That makes a HUGE difference. Since we're Navy and get moved against our will, I've got no family here and it makes things tough.
I want you to know that everything I say to you is intended to be helpful. I have your best interest at heart.
That said, since you're only 12 weeks pregnant, I think you should REALLY look into some student loans and try and get some basic college under your belt before the baby comes along. It's fantastic that your family is so supportive, but there will be a point when you really need to get out on your own and pay all your own bills. You can't keep living under someone elses' roof if you really want to step up and be the totally responsible parents that you need to be.
I don't remember if you've been to the doctor or not yet, but if not, you need to go... NOW. I was as pregnant as you are when I found out, and they did some uber-tests because I was far enough along that stuff could have been way wrong by now.
Just take care of yourself.

Thanks, Savina^_^
I haven't thought too much about college yet because I don't know if we'll ever be able to pay for it. Maybe after the baby is born, I'll go to night school. Well, we'll look into it when everything is settled when I get there ^_^
I'm just soo happy. I'm leaving tomorrow and we're gonna stay at a hotel. I'll be home on Monday ^.^
