13 Week Update

So this is it. We are about to enter the second trimester and still feeling kinda crappy...

I met with my hematologist last week and he thinks I should continue taking the lovenox shots for the blood clotting issue which means more ugly bruising on my belly! No bare belly shots for me!

Other than that, things seem to be going well. I met with my OB as well as the high risk doctor and everything is right where it should be.

Here are the ultrasound pics from my last scan at 12 weeks 4 days:

12 Week Update

Its been 6 weeks since my last update.  They have been a crazy 6 weeks.  First of all, I have felt so sick for the last month and a half that the last thing I wanted to do when I was not working was to sit in front of a computer some more.

 

Basically I have gone to work, went home, napped, woke up for a few hours to spend some time with my family and then back to bed by 9.

 

Also, about 3 weeks ago I went into the hospital for a terrible pain that we came to realize were gallstones.  So, to make a long story short, I am on a low fat diet in order to keep the pain associated with gallstones away until I am able to get them taken out.  Do you know how hard it is to eat low fat while pregnant??  Well its hard!  But I'm doing it...so far.

I am finally feeling better (knock on wood). The last few days, like a few days shy of 12 weeks, I started to feel normal again. I wasn't nauseas ALL DAY. I was ready to get out of the house again and do normal people things again. YAY!
