12 Weeks 5 Days - Almost 13 Weeks

Today has been mostly good. I spent time with my sister and her family this morning and then tonight I had dinner with a great friend from high school and her wonderful family. I love seeing them when  I come to visit. We have such a good visit, there are just some people that no matter how much time goes by you still feel so close.

Today was my oldest son's 11th birthday. Seriously how did this happen he is such a big boy now. It seems like he should be a little squirt not this tall, gangly kid about to go into middle school. I love my kids so much, they make my life complete.

The nausea and vomiting is well under control at this point. Scary to say, but in a few more weeks if it stays this way I may actually call this pregnancy my best on ever. Dizzy spells aside, the lack of NVP is actually so nice that I can live with the dizzy I think.

I forgot to take my hormone last night. I felt soooo good today. :( I look forward to the day I do not have to take them anymore, but I guess I will keep taking them till I see the doctor just to be safe. Every time I think I will stop anyway I remember the heartbreak of the six miscarriages and just go ahead and take them. I am so tired on them it makes me less motivated to take them cause all I really want to do is sleep. I want to feel good and be out doing things.

Well I suppose that is about it, maybe this week I can get the last pregnancy written up and put it on the blog.

Thanks for reading...for those who do!

A little better tonight - 10 weeks tomorrow!

Today was a it better. I took my time getting things together and making sure I was on top of my medicine and trying to eat little snacks that have higher protein. I heard that this can help so I tried that today. I am going to talk about foods so if that triggers skip this post.

I have been craving things like cheese, potatos, and ranch. :) Today I ate a few cheese cubes as a snack. I have heard that just a few cubes of cheese or something salty like chips can adjust your stomach and for today it helped. I also suggested for dinner to go to a place that only served one "type" of food. We went to eat at an Italian place and it was fine. The smell issue was minimal and seemd to be pretty in control. I even felt good enough to go and find some materinty clothes after dinner.

So maybe if I focus and try to keep on top of things that will keep my nausea in check. Here is hoping!

To take or not to take...9 weeks 5 days

Sitting here trying to decide whether or not to take the rest of my medicines tonight. I am so nauseated and I am having the WORST freaking stomach pains. The idea of forcing anything down my throat at this time is just not a happy thought. I also need to eat a little something so that one of my medicines the hormone does not make me sick (note the irony, don't want to eat, must eat to take pill that can make me sick). I am tired and want to go to bed it is almost 1 am here in the East and I really need to decide soon. Maybe a quick shower and then a snack and then the meds. I tried drinking a bit of water (that will come back to haunt in the middle of the night), but it hasn't made that blah feeling in the back of my throat disappear. Maybe a peppermint tea...I just do not KNOW tonight. Blah

The honeymoon is over... 9 wks 1 day

Sadly, the wonderful honeymoon stage of the pregnancy has ended. The nausea and vomiting is now breaking through the medicine. I guess I will be going home early :(. Nothing good to say so I will say nothing else. Sad.

My new best friend! I drink this at night and it helps with the reflux.
