Well.....................I am 7 weeks pregnant and really thought I was one of the lucky ones who was not going to feel ill. Boy was I wrong. I feel like I am enduring the worst hangover from a week of binge drinking. I just want to curl up in bed and hope the room stops spinning and the vomit in my throat stays down there. YUCK. It lasts all day. no such thing as morning sickness for me. The power of the hangover comes and goes with different variations of intensity. Today-----intense.
On top of the worst hangover of my life I have started craving things and having aversions to food. I am craving raw veggies and fruit. Which I think is very wise of me. The foods I am hating the smell and look of is all types meats. Which really should not be a surprise to anyone. I have never been a big fan of meat so the fact that I hate the smell and taste of it right now also seems very fitting. Now I am eating like a vegetarian so I make sure the baby(ies) get enough protien without eating meats.
My sense of smell has become hyper sensitive. I can smell a fart before it exits the body. Tony is not getting any by me! Everything I smell is much more intense. I can almost taste the fibers of the fumes I am inhaling.
Being pregnant is as much fun as I thought it would be and we have not even told our families yet. I can only imagine the overwhelming sense of love after the news is spread.

No More Lies/Secrets
We always thought our wedding day would be our most cherished day together. We were wrong. June 19, 2012 will go down in the history books as the most monumental day of our lives so far; the day we found out I was pregnant. Yep you read it right. I. AM. PREGNANT. 5 weeks today in fact. This journey we have been on is one I would not wish upon anyone. The heartache mixed with struggles and obstacles were devestating to say the least. But the feeling I have right now is well worth the tears and the waiting.
With the help of the best doctor in Dallas I got knocked up. Let me clarify. The doctor did not knock me up. He assisted Tony and I with knocking me up. We have been secretly undergoing IVF treatments since May. We chose (well mostly me) to do it in secret because God forbid it did not work I could not bare the idea of having to tell people of the failure. But............it was good news and now I can shout from the rooftops that it worked and I am with child. (That is a dumb phrase but I wanted to see how many ways I could say I am pregnant in this first post)
The estimated due date is February 26, fortunately right at the end of basketball season so hopefully Coach Crough can be at the birth! Oh wait did I mention the chance for twins was 50%? The doctor put 2 of our fertilized embryos into my beefy uterus (that is a really high tech term one of my fertility doctors used to describe my insides). And the blood test they did to check for pregnancy was off the charts, twice! So right now we assume there are 2 babies hibernating inside me. (Tony lovingly nicknamed them AJ and CJ which is short for Anthony Jr. and Chrisy Jr.--nicknames I pray will not stick) We will find out for sure on July 12 how many buns I have in the oven; which happens to also be the day we leave for Kansas to share the good news with our families.
We are out of our minds with JOY and excitement. We find it hard to think about anything else. Try to focus on work but the mind wanders to babies and the greatness our future holds. I get teary eyed just at the idea of telling people the exciting news. AHHHHHH!
With love,
Mama Crough
