I have a baby growing inside me. Which is pretty neat, exciting, a little weird if you think about it, and the best reason for feelings absolutely horrible.
It has been a fews weeks since my last update, and mostly the reason for that is that I had felt so crappy and just didn't have the energy, also I didn't want the post to end up being depressing. So, the last three weeks were pretty horrible, I felt awful all the time and I was getting annoyed with only being able to eat dry toast, instant mashed potatoes, and plain pasta. We went on a trip to Laughlin for work and that just about killed me. I was MISERABLE and thought it would never get better. It was definitely not easy these past few weeks and I know it wasn't easy for John either and I felt horrible about that. BUT a change has occurred!!
Starting these past few days I have felt SO SO SO much better. Now, I am still tired most of the time but as long as I eat every hour or so, and drink a TON, I pretty much don't get nauseous and only throw up first thing in the morning. It's great! I still can't eat most foods, and I figured out that dairy makes me feel horrible but I am able to branch out a little more. I have been eating soup (mostly the broth), and I can have some snacks like pretzels and these cracker chip things, it's nice to have a bit more options.
I had another prenatal appointment on Wednesday. I thought I was 11 weeks but it turned out at my appointment the ultrasound showed I was only 10 weeks, which makes the due date May 1, 2014 (MAY DAY BABY). Also, we got to HEAR the heartbeat! Can I just say that it was SUPER exciting, I mean I have had a few ultrasounds already, so I saw our little alien in there and we could see the heartbeat but HEARING the heartbeat just made it more real. It was so fast, my OB said baby has a strong heartbeat, so yay for healthy baby!
Also, if you really think about it, it's weird. In my body there is not just one heartbeat, there are TWO, my own and the babies. SO weird, but really awesome.
