14 Weeks
Today was our 14 week check up. Pee, blood pressure, weight. CHECK!
They tried the doppler again to hear the heartbeat. Last time they couldn't find it with this machine, but this time we heard the beating as soon as she touched it to my skin. 150bpm going strong! Its still hard to believe that there's another person in my gut!! No sign of any belly yet, and I can't feel anything in there yet, but it must bet there!
I got in trouble again for not gaining any weight, but I didn't lose any this time! Dr. says I need to gain .5-1lb a week now. Its like a cruel joke of nature that the ONE time in your life that you're released to GAIN weight, you don't feel like eating anyting!! I have to figure out WHAT to eat too...I know I can get fat on Big Macs and ice cream, but what the heck do you eat to gain healthy weight? All I can think of is Avacados and nuts. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I guess I should just eat more of the regular healthy stuff. I need an extra stomach!
The sickness does seem to be getting a little better. I feel a lot closer to normal during the day, but evenings are still not great. Last night I discovered that jr. does NOT like Starbursts *hurl* And I don't like them on the return trip either. Add that to my "do not eat" list. Actually, I think it was more that I got home and put dinner int he oven which made dinner about an hour later than usual...add to that an early lunch and VIOLA! Empty stomache!
I can't wait to start feeling something or at least seeing some growth! I think the thing is standing up straight and enjoying my gigantic cavernousness!!
