OK...so I've been lazy, and have posted nothing since our good news. Now we are 10 weeks into the pregnancy, and I'm getting really darn tired of the first trimester. What I officially do not like:
- Nausea. All the time. Really bad in the evening, and I've only eaten dinner once in the last 2 weeks.
- Nausea out of control. Had about 18 hours of vomiting this week. That was the first of that, and I hope the last. MISERABLE.
- Exhaustion. I went to bed at 8pm last night. Woke up at 8am. Went back to bed at 10am and slept until 1. It's 7pm, and I could go to bed right now.
- Cravings. This one is good and bad...but sometimes they change so fast I don't even have time to consume what I went and bought.
What I like:
- Ultrasounds. We've had two - and were able to hear the heartbeat both times. I'd like to say that it was a big sappy moment that brought tears to our eyes. I don't know about the wife, but all I could think was "thank God...its still there". Is that bad of me?
- Ultrasound pictures. We have pictures of this kid from 5 days, 5 weeks and 7 weeks after conception. This last time the baby was jamming and waving her arms (we're calling it a "her" at the moment). OK, that was a big sappy moment. I guess I am capable of sappy...
- Baby books with pictures. I could stare at those little fish looking pictures of an embryo all day long. Miraculous doesn't begin to describe it.
So...that's status as of the moment. Two more weeks of the first trimester, they say...and, they also say, that this unpleasantness will end. Here's hoping!!
