16 Weeks

So, Tuesday was 16 weeks & I also had my monthly OB visit. I gained an entire 1 lb, so i am still 2 lbs behind my original weight, but my doctor was just happy I wasn't still losing weight. I am still extremely sick, but he ordered me to continue taking the anti-nausea meds everyday. So, I am taking it as soon as I get up in the mornings. It seems to be helping somewhat. He said they are really doing all they can for me at this point, so it is just a waiting game to see when it will end. I went maternity shopping & had to buy all size small clothes! That made me pretty happy. I don't really have much of a belly, but it is more comfortable to have the stretchy pants & I sure am not going to wear regular elastic pants! I also do not own even 1 pair of sweatpants, so I am not going to start now. Sure, I love to be comfy, but I am not going to turn into a frump just because I am preggo. There are just too many cute maternity clothes to be wearing "joggin' britches".

15 Weeks & Still Sick

I know, I know. It has been a while! Wel, I have been pretty sick here lately, so that is my excuse! I was really sick on Sunday, then even worse on Monday. I was even vomiting water. I called my OB & he sent me on to the ER for IV fluids & anti-nausea meds. The entire time I was waiting, I was in aweful pain, having contractions. At 1st, I thought it was upset stomach, cramping up or something, but then I realized I knew exactly what it was. Luckily, the fluids stopped it though. It was just from the dehydration. The next day, which was 15 weeks, I took this pic of my belly. It was looking quite flat. When I woke up that morning, I sure didn't look preggo. All the fluids seemed to flush out everything. Crazy! I have been sick off & on everyday this week, but I am relying on the anti-nausea meds. They really help. Since I have been taking the meds regularly, I have been able to eat & hopefully will have put some weight on this month. Normal weight gain for 15 weeks is about 10lbs, but I will be lucky if I have gained 2lbs so far. We will see on Tuesday when I have my 16 week appointment.
