Whyyyyyy Meee



Hey Ya’ll!

Happy Blessed Sunday! I hope all is great with everybody. So if you don’t know already, I’m pregnant…yayyyy LoL! Being pregnant is such a blessing but all the things that come with pregnancy I could do without.


 Baby Rynica said "Heyyyy Ya'll!"

MORNING SICKNESS AKA "ALL DAY SICKNESS"

Whyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! OMG I’ve been suffering from morning sickness. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and around 6 ½ weeks morning sickness hit me hard. Every morning for about a week and a half straight I was waking up and going straight to the bathroom to vomit. I was feeling nauseous all day and eating certain foods would make me vomit also.

Today, I am 8 weeks, 5 days and morning sickness has struck again. Everything I ate yesterday came back up and currently I’m in the bed because I feel so nauseous. I have to partake in bedside Baptist today because I just can’t get myself together for church :(.

I know in the end all this morning sickness will be worth it but whyyyyyyy me lol! My sister said she had no morning sickness with my nephew so why couldn’t that non morning sickness bug hit me but ah well. Everyone says I’m having a girl because old myth states that having a lot of morning sickness means you’re having a girl but we shall see! #teamhealthybabygirl

If ya’ll have any remedies to help ease morning sickness please share because I need it!!

TO CLEAR THE RECORD


Ya’ll, Rynica will NOT be the baby name lol. My poor husband got clowned because some of his friends thought Rynica was really the baby name. Rynica…really! For those that don’t know Rynica comes from RYan and MoNICA and its pronounced Ry-Ne-Ka. Rynica came about when we got married so it’s only fitting to call the baby “Baby Rynica”!



 ANYTHING ELSE

Our first prenatal appt went great! My husband was with me and the baby and I are healthy and doing great. It was so exciting to see our baby come up on the monitor screen during our first ultrasound. Baby Rynica little heart was beating at a pace of 160 and I was like omg I can't believe there is a baby inside of me! Ryan was grinning from ear to ear and kept yelling "That's my boy" lol even though we all know it's a girl...haha. In 4 weeks we get to hear the heartbeat so we can't wait for that.

Other than morning sickness my pregnancy is good. I still have some fatigue and my cravings are real lol. I have a little baby bump and hopefully starting this week I want to incorporate some gym time into my daily routines if my fatigue allows me too. Tuesday, I will be entering month 3 so let's hope this morning sickness goes away!

For all of those asking and wondering, my due date is September 1st! I hope ya’ll have a great Sunday and stay tuned for more pregnancy blog posts :)

Baby Rynica is on its way!!!



Hey Ya’ll!

Welp! I guess I sipped some of that water, that pregnancy water because I am with child, YES I AM PREGNANT!!!!




WHEN I FOUND OUT
I found out I was pregnant on December 27th at 4:30am lol. My period was one day late and on that morning I woke up because I had to use the bathroom and something told me to take a test so I did. As I was sitting there waiting on the test results my eyes instantly shot open as I noticed the little plus sign appear. I was in total shock. I only had one test so I didn’t want to get my hopes up but all these thoughts started going through my head. Am I really pregnant? Is a human being really growing inside of me? Am I ready? Is this the right time?

HOW DID I TELL MY HUSBAND
On December 27th, after finding out I was pregnant around 4:30am I could not fall back asleep. I was too excited. I thought about putting the test in a gift bag and presenting it to my husband as a present but my husband was taking too long to wake up lol. Around 8am I tapped my husband on the shoulder and was like wake up. He looked at me all crazy and said “WHAT”! I showed him the positive pregnancy test and his eyes lit up. He said “Are you really pregnant” and I nodded my head yes. That man smiled so hard and his dimples were so deep that it instantly made my heart melt. He kept saying “oh shit” “oh shit” “I’m going to be a daddy” “I’m going to be a daddy” that all I could was laugh. Let’s just say he was overly excited!!! Soon after he ran to the store to get more pregnancy tests just to verify I was pregnant lol. 

WERE WE TRYING
Ummm sort of. It was one of those if we do we do and if we don't we don't but Ryan and I decided that it was time for us to TRY for a child in October, 2014. I had been off birth control since July 18, 2014 but we never expected for it to happen so fast.  I downloaded the ovulation app called Pink Pad and the rest is history. It took us 2 months to conceive after really following the ovulation process. 

 
EARLY SYMPTOMS
Leading to me finding out I was pregnant the early symptoms I was experiencing were constipation, aching breast, shortness of breath, my face breaking out, and crazy/ weird dreams.
I will try to update at least once a week so stay tuned for future Baby Rynica pregnancy updates :)

Waiting To Exhale


Hey Ya’ll!

I hope all is great. 11 days until Christmas but who’s counting lol. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I just love everything that comes with it. Family time, Christmas decorations, gifts, giving back, reflecting on the real reason of Christmas, and Christmas movies of course. I just love it!

This weekend was an exciting one for me because it was my cousins and I annual “Waiting To Exhale Party”. This is a gathering where all my female cousins come together, eat dinner, exchange gifts, and just exhale and have girl talk. My grandma had 11 kids so I have A LOT of cousins and we were all raised very close so even though we all are grown and have our separate lives we still try to do things together. I love our waiting to exhale parties because we just let loose and talk about any and everything. This year it was held at my place so I kicked my husband out and brought the girls in for a sleep over. We had dinner at the Olive Garden then came back to my place for drinks, gift exchange, and girl talk.

We had so much fun that I actually forgot to take pics..oops!. When we get together we always have a great time but our waiting to exhale parties are extra special for all of us and I can’t wait to do it all over again next year around this time!


only pic I took, my sis and I

Its Been To Long!



Hey Ya'll!

Oh how I've missed blogging. Sooo my laptop could no longer continue and died on me :( It had a good run but it was time for it to go. I used my husband laptop for a couple of blogs but I don't like his computer so I decided to take a break from blogging until I got another computer and today I was blessed with one (Thanks Dad!!) so I'm backkkkkkkkkk :) Gotta love Black Friday.

But anywho HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I did. It was at my mom's this year and I had the pleasure of having Ryan grandparents join us. I was glad to know they had a great time and I had a great time as always with my fam.

Nothing new has been going on lately with me. Life is going great. I really have no complaints. For this post I'll just post pics of what's been going on in my life lately.
