The not fun stuff

Okay ladies, don't hate, but I have some amazing family genes.

My Grandma Pope only had morning sickness with baby #1 out of 11.

My mom only had morning sickness with one of my siblings.

So far, I have not experienced anything that I would classify as morning sickness.

Like... at all.
{I've had random tummy hurts, but I just eat a cracker or a banana and I'm great again}

I think it's in part to my amazing family genes, but I also really believe that it's because I started preparing for this pregnancy before it started.  By the time the embryo transfer was done, I had been taking prenatal vitamins for almost 3 months.  I'm convinced that it has helped make for an easier pregnancy.

Some things that I've really noticed so far is:
-If I stand up too quickly then I get woozy and have to steady myself. 
-I get tired SUPER fast.  If I'm up doing something for 5-10 minutes it really wears me out.  Totally makes me feel like a big fat fatty, but I know that most of my energy is going to making my little jelly beans grow big and strong.
AND

Apparently when you're pregnant... you forget everything.

And when I say everything...

I really do mean everything.

People told me that I would be forgetful.  But I didn't realize that it would be THIS early in the pregnancy!
I can't even remember who I talked to yesterday.

The other day I put all of my clothes away and when I tried to tell Jared "Look!  I put all of my clothes away" all that came out was "Look away...?"  Jared was like... "You want to try that again? haha"

When I was making dinner last week I would think of something I needed and by the time I got to the other side of the kitchen I was like... why did I come over here?... That happened at least 3 times within 5 minutes.

Also
-I'm not sure if I'm going to be the only one on this one,
but I have had NO appetite.
None.
Which is totally unlike me.  I love food.  Like, eating great food is one of my favorite things to do {and when I say great, I don't necessarily mean 'healthy'.  French fries top my list of great food, lol}
I've basically had to force myself to eat enough food.
When I was heading home a couple of nights ago I was counting up the calories I had eaten for the day in my head and realized I'd only eaten about 1200 for the entire day.  So when I got home I forced myself to eat and entire box of Mac & Cheese so that I could get my 1800 calories for the day.
{I need 1500 to maintain my body weight and then 300 for baby... unless I'm having twins... then I'll have to eat another 300/day for a total of 2100.}
I wish it didn't feel like a chore to eat something.
Maybe it's because I always feel a little sick after I eat anything.
I'm trying to eat smaller meals throughout the day, so hopefully that will help.

And now my most hated symptom so far...
I've had cramps for the entire pregnancy so far.  I know it's in part to having an overstimulated ovary {which is finally starting to go down} and I know that there is a lot going on inside my body right now, but whenever I get a cramp I freak out a little bit that it means I'm having a miscarriage.
And then Friday night I spotted.
I had a really hard time not freaking out, but I had Jared and his dad come over and they gave me a blessing.
I haven't spotted again since. :)
I feel a lot better now.

Anyway, TWO days until the ultrasound!!!  Can't wait to see how many we're having!
People have asked if I'll be disappointed if we have one baby instead of two.
NOPE!
I'm going to be so stoked if our IVF is successful to a full term pregnancy.
It would be fun to have twins, but I think that there are pros and cons in either scenario so I'm just excited for whatever happens.
