2 Month Update

I've about reached my 2 month point in pregnancy and thought I'd post a quick little update for my preggie-interested readers! I had my first u/s this past Saturday and all looks exceptional. Interesting note: Looks like I *might* have had 2 little beans in there at one point. The tech was unsure if it was a barely developed sac, or a blood clot from my placenta separating. Either way it looked like a sac to me and initially that was his first guess. Towards the end of the appointment he was leaning toward a blood clot so, I guess we'll never know. I did wonder early on if I was pregnant with twins because I was so sick, before the + test even. I am, however, thankful for one healthy heart beating away at about 148 bpm. The tech was very informative and even shared that he could see baby wiggling around in there. That's funny, cause all my babies were INSANE wiggle worms in utero. Overall, the tech was pleased with the u/s results and has sent all the info over to my doc. I'll most likely have another scan in a month or so. And scan-wise I believe that's all to report. Pregnancy-wise I have to say I've been extremely out of my element. All I have to go by are my previous pregnancies and so far this one has been NOTHING like 'em! I've been extremely nauseous (sans puking) since the positive test and I was never like that with the boys. Sickness wasn't even a factor. Sure I had some touch and go queasiness after certain meals, but this is almost incapacitating! I actually *want* to puke because when you're right at puking point for weeks on end and just can't, you being to wonder if perhaps you'd feel better if you just could! Might sound crazy to some of you, but it makes perfect sense to this preggo. I have had an hour or two break sometimes during the days (usually mid-day) but it's almost always severe at night. Often times I just lay in bed after the boys go to sleep crying because of how bad I feel. And I'm not complaining at all. In fact, I'm very thankful for this assurance to me that my baby is healthy and growing strong. This is my last pregnancy and I am trying to enjoy each day for what it brings, though yesterday I pretty much enjoyed it from bed all day! Justin has been a life-saver to me during this pregnancy. He's taken the boys out during the evenings when he can so I can sleep and rest and I couldn't be more blessed to have him. I couldn't do it without him. As far as food goes, I've pretty much had a love/hate relationship with it. I'm constantly sick, but even more so if I don't eat, and I feel worse after I eat! Still, I've managed to put away a few Subway tuna sandwiches!! Justin's been making lots of Subway runs for tuna and pickles on wheat and that's IT. Other than that, there's not a lot I've been eating thus far. I *used* to be a health fanatic, trying to watch calories, wheat bread, veggies and all that good stuff. Now I just eat whatever I feel I can at any given moment, screwing whether it's healthy or not. This was difficult for me at first but once the real sickness arrived it didn't seem to matter as much. In fact, at this point I can stomach picking through a can of spagettio's over a wheat bread sandwich! I just keep counting down the weeks until I *hopefully* start feeling better...that glorious second trimester. Approximately 4 more weeks, but who's counting? So that's that. The big exciting update. I prolly could have summed it up in one sentence: sick, tired and confined to my bed most nights. But since I thrive on details, I assume my readers do too. Either way, it's 2 months down, 7 more to go! Until next time...
