I've been terrible about posting because it's tax season, and I'm so swamped at work. So, here's an update. I'm 15 weeks 6 days today. I had an appointment at 12 weeks, and heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was 170, which is really the only reason I'm not convinced it wasn't just my own pulse I was hearing. It strange hearing that, it was kind of surreal. Definitely neat though.
Morning sickness has mostly passed, but I'm still having some issues. I've got almost no appetite, but obviously I have to eat. I get really really hungry and yet nothing sounds appetizing. So I make myself eat something, and then I'm almost immediately so unbearably full that I feel horrible. It's not fun, and I am not pleased with my stomach. I think I'd like to trade it in for a new one.
I'm not really showing at all yet, I just look a little chubbier. I think I'm juuuuuust on the verge of starting to pop out a little. I'd estimate I've only gained pehaps 3 or 4 pounds so far since I got pregnant. However, my normal clothes are all pretty uncomfortable now. I have a wedding to go to on Saturday too, so I need to find somthing to wear. Yikes.
I have another appointment on Monday, which I assume will be the standard "pee in a cup, blood pressure check, check heartbeat, any questions, okay, done" like it was last time. BUT! I just got off the phone with my OB's office, and my ultrasound is scheduled for April 14th! I'll be 18 weeks by then, and that's only two weeks away. Holy f'ing crap, I can't believe it's that soon! We're going to try to find out what variety of parasite I'm carrying, so here's to hoping baby cooperates!
I'm both excited and horrified that the time seems to be going so quickly. I'll have to tell work very soon. And pretty soon I'm going to have to start setting up the nursery too. How in the world can that be?!
