I have great aspirations to start doing fun weekly pregnancy updates...but
Anytime that I have free, all I want to do is lay on the couch. I'm tired of being sick, and sick of being tired. I just breathe slow, and focus on the awesome little baby growing inside me and the fact that this will hopefully be a short thing to endure. My all day sickness ended when I was about 16 weeks with Mav, so I'm hoping the end is near!!
Zofran has been my closest friend! I try to only take 1 a day, but sometimes I can't stop throwing up until I've had one. I hate to keep comparing it to Mav's pregnancy, but that's how it was with him too.
On Tuesday I went in for my 12 week check up. Everything looked great, and the baby had a nice heartbeat of 150 bpm. Although he/she was being a stinker and kept moving whenever the doctor would get a clear signal.
Due to the extreme nausea, I've lost weight since my last appointment (just like with Mav). Not a huge deal since I'm not a skinny minnie, lol! But the doc would definitely like to see me start gaining soon.
No food ever, ever, ever sounds good to eat. Except some form of ice chips. Snowcones, shaved ice, and popsicles are marvelous. I often walk around work with a giant cup of ice chips and a spoon. Also, I really like dipped cones from Dairy Queen. That's about it. Everything else I do the best I can to keep it down.
Alright, back to the couch.
Also--we are on baby alert for my SIL Johanna. She is due this Sunday, on Mother's Day. Last I heard, no signs of progress. Little Miss Malia is a bit too snuggly in there I guess. :)
