It's strange, BUT I LOVE IT!!! and in the next two weeks your baby will go through a massive growth spurt and instead of those jerky feelings it will be more of a rolling feeling and a softball size lump will roll across your belly. It's pretty cool!

It has changed for sure...from little movements to big rolls and stretches. Funny when your belly really sticks out to one side, Shane has always liked my left side and seems to put his bum or maybe feet out and I have a very uneven baby bump.
totally Alien like, I am always surprised when he makes out a big movement that moves my whole body

Yep! Me, too! I go back and forth with decreasing down to just 1-3 breeds (I have about 50 chickens and 18 different breeds) or selling them ALL off.

I sold a lot of my chickens while I was preggers. Mine had more to do with being sick for 12 weeks than anything else though.

When is it that really bad morning sickness is supposed to strike? Right now I'm starving all the time, but I'm only slightly nauseous occasionally - maybe for a few minutes every 3 days. I'm about 6 weeks.

I didn't throw up once. I thought for sure once I found out I was preggers that I would start throwing up, but no.
Boy was I tired though, and am getting that way again. but then again it has been a rough week and I am now on antibiotics and I suppose that could be kicking my butt. Hate days like today where it's nice out and I should be getting things done but I am sooooo tired all I wanna do is sleep. I am trying to motivate, but not looking promising. Just hope my DH understands why the house is filthy, dinners have been lame and laundry sits in a big pile.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my house looks the same way. Since I've been snacking through the day, but the time supper rolls around I'm not all that hungry, so hubby is eating sandwiches or leftovers... or fast food. Yeah, I feel bad about that but he's very understanding. He hasn't complained about it one bit. If I say I'm sleepy, he'll almost force me to lay down and take a nap.

You know that feeling you get when you take some strong sinus meds and you are kinda drowsy, but don't feel like you could just lay down and go to sleep? That's the only way to describe how I feel. I can function, but I'm slow at it.

Mine hit just after 6 weeks, but you may not get it at all, and mine made me not feel good, but it wasn't HORRIBLE.

I only threw up twice. Once when I glanced ad DH's grandma brushing her teeth, and once when I ate a ton of Chinese food for dinner and it just didn't sit well.

I too have noticed the exhaustion coming back, I'm tired all the time again, and can't get motivated to do much, although I did put together the teenager brooder yesterday, and got my butt to the grocery store and the feed store, but that was because I was going stir crazy!

And just yesterday I started becoming truly uncomfortable being pregnant. I feel so bloated, I know it's the growing baby, but it feels like if I stretch anymore I will explode, and he is putting a lot of pressure on my spine now, I can't imagine how I will feel after he puts on 4 more pounds! Oh, and he finally turned head down, so now instead of cervix kicks I am getting Rib kicks, and I don't know which is worse?

I just got 2 things done

too bad for DH it was in the chicken coop that I accomplished those 2 things.

Kelsey - glad to hear you say you too are getting uncomfortable. He seems so heavy sometimes that I find it hard to move. The next 2 months will be interesting!

Just got my crib mobile in the mail, I like it (and it works great, in great shape). k, now to try for 2 more accomplishments, wish me luck!
