From 1 to 2.

We are pregnant! And the timing is going to be CRAZY. Baby is due April 29th, Olivia's birthday. It is the day after John's graduation from law school. We will be moving up near Salt Lake fairly soon after that depending on timing of finding a place. Olivia was a few days early and I was in labor for 2 weeks before she was born so it is very likely baby will come during finals or will be late and miss when our families will be in town. It's going to be insane!

I've written several posts about the pregnancy so far but I figure I'll give a little recap so you don't have to read them all.

We found out the end of August and since day one I have been super nauseous and my sense of smell has been crazy. A few weeks later I started throwing up and it got to the point that I wasn't keeping anything down and waking up all night long to throw up. I ended up going to the hospital for IV fluids and anti nausea medication but it didn't help at all and was in the ER the next day and prescribed 2 different types of anti nausea/vomiting meds.
Those helped, but my nausea was literally debilitating. All I could do was lay on the couch all day. My OB prescribed me a different version of one and I stopped taking the other and as long as I take my meds and eat constantly I do ok. I'm nauseous all the time but it is manageable.

I was still running in the beginning but haven't really exercised at all since I got really sick because when I do too much I throw up. So, I'm super looking forward to feeling better and being able to workout and hopefully start running again, though it's going to start to get too cold to go running with Olivia in the stroller.

I feel like I eat horribly right now because not much sounds good. Basically, I eat a lot of plain turkey sandwiches. I can't really handle vegetables and I can't drink water. Eggs, I cannot eat them anymore which is super sad.

Also, we are planning on not finding out whether baby is a boy or a girl! So, birthday is going to be fun.

Right now we are both hoping for a girl, though because of how different this one has been I feel like baby is probably a boy.

October has begun.

It's been a few weeks since I did an update. I have been feeling pretty awful, but luckily I have good days.
I am down to one medication twice a day rather than two 8 times a day! One of the meds I was on was actually making my nausea worse (so glad I figured that out!) and I switched to a different version of the other one and it works WAY better.
As of now mornings and nights are usually pretty awful, and sometimes the whole day is bad. But usually as long as I eat pretty constantly I'm ok. I'm still nauseous all the time but I can leave the house and do stuff.

This pregnancy has been pretty different from Olivia's. With Olivia I threw up all the time and lost a bunch of weight but I only felt nauseous right before I threw up. With this one, with the help of meds, I don't throw up very often, but I am nauseous all the time! I can't decide which one is worse.
With Olivia I never really had cravings and smells didn't bother me. With this one, before I got super sick, I was having crazy cravings all the time. And by crazy I mean I would crave something and it was all I could think about until I got it. And my sense of smell is out of control, everything smells, even things that don't. It sucks.
With the help of medication I am almost back up to my pre-pregnancy weight, which took a long time with Olivia so that's good!

Overall, it's been rough but better than I expected and I'm hoping since I am 11 weeks that in a few weeks I'll be feeling normal again, or I'll be like my mom and be sick the whole time (please no).
