So...its been awhile...well since I was a little bit off from what my Dr. predicted my actual due date to be..I am ten weeks pregnant now. And I have a good reason for not posting! Morning Sickness! I don't think anyone ever understand unless they actually get morning sickness! It has been horrible, but not as bad as my last pregnancy thank goodness. It was the worst over Christmas though, I literally just laid there and felt like I had the flu. We shared our news with my husbands family, and they were very excited. I have told half my family, but still waiting to surprise the other half.
At my Dr.'s appointment, my husband was able to come with me. Unfortunately about 1/2 hour before my appointment I started getting flashing lights. I knew what that meant, and I knew I could take some Tylenol, but not very much. I was getting a MIGRAINE. UGG...So here we are at the Dr.'s office, ( I LOVE my new Dr. so far btw) and she is trying to talk to us and I am trying so hard to listen and I just feel horrible. I told her what was going on, and she was so sympathetic! She even turned out the lights and we did the ultrasound in the dark. It was SOOO awesome to see the little baby inside of me! So good to hear the heart beat, and know its really true! Although I felt terrible, I was still so happy to know that so far so good, although she did put me back in time about a week and a half, changing my due date from August 7th to August 17th. I know its not a big deal, but it made the pregnancy seem so much longer, instead of the beginning of August, now it seems like I am due at the end. Funny how just a couple of weeks can make such a big difference! I am finally starting to feel better, I still have my good and bad days but at least I can function, work, and most importantly take care of my family! (I'll be honest there was a week or two when my house was PRETTY DANG scary!!) but all in all, I am doing quite well.
I haven't really gained any weight so far, but I feel like I am starting to get a little "pooch". Its not super noticeable though. Nobody has seen me and asked "Are you pregnant?" which is probably a good thing. Although I am sure after 10 weeks I will start to grow more and more! Which I don't really mind a pregnant looking belly, I do mind just looking fat, but once it looks pregnant I don't mind it. Well I say that now, once I am 35 weeks pregnant...I may take it back.
The other thing on my mind...miscarriage.. 10 weeks is a great milestone, but I am not quite out of the woods yet. I want to be 14 or 15 weeks along before I really start sharing my news. I still don't know if its quite hit me yet since I am feeling better from the morning sickness and I am not feeling fat yet, but I am sure it will sink in eventually.
Oh and can I just say Health Insurance is a JOKE? I know lets not even go into that one, but still financing just a birth is literally ridiculous!
