I'm finally done with my first trimester. Hallelujah. I barely
survived. Only joking. kind of. Weeks 7 - 10 I have never been so sick
in my entire life. Well actually, it tied with the horrible stomach flu I
got twice while pregnant with Boston, but it lasted much longer, so I
guess it still wins. During those horrible weeks I took the girls to
Cedar for a family reunion. While it was fun to see everyone I was such a
bum and felt so horrible the whole time. I have the best family and
they literally just took care of my girls the whole time. I would just
call from the couch, "Can someone check on my girls?" So thank you,
thank you, thank you to my whole family for all of your help and
patience!
My record for throwing up in a 12 hour period is 8 times this pregnancy. But I've thrown up significantly less all around. Which again, has been worse. I never believed non thrower uppers that they were really that sick. Sorry. :( My sincerest apologies.
These last couple of weeks I have felt a million times better. Still not 100% (don't do that math), but I can function reasonably well and I don't want to die. August 20th I'll be 15 weeks and that is usually when I start feeling better. Less than a month, wahoo!
Typing this is making my hand ache and burn, but the blogging must go on.
If you missed the FB and Insta pics, I stabbed a paring knife in my hand, damaging the nerve on the inside of my pinkie. It is super sore right now, but I think once the pain subsides I'll get use to the numbness and it won't be a big deal. I'm 99% sure I can move everything normally, so hopefully my piano teaching/playing won't be affected.
If I wasn't pregnant the doctor would consider surgery to repair the nerve. But since they would want to do the repair within a few weeks of injury, I'm out of luck. But really I don't think it'll be a big deal. And maybe one day the feeling will return. Did you know nerves are the slowest growing/healing thing in your body? They grow something like a centimeter a year.
Anyway, back to the baby...
Went in for my monthly check up right at 11 weeks. Baby is good. Dr. Moore did another ultrasound and I got to see the cute profile of our little peanut. I lost 2 pounds. I was really hoping for more, but all I want to eat are carbs so...
Dr. Moore said she'd do another ultrasound next month and check the sex if I wanted....since I expressed my deep desire for a boy. I'm going to need as much time as I can get to prepare for another girl. The drama obviously runs thick in my blood, so there is no way I can imagine I would get a mellow girl. And don't even think about commenting that boys are harder. Maybe I'll eat my words one day, but I highly doubt it. For me anyway...
Oh and since I have ocd, I can't do a belly picture until 15 weeks so that it is the same as the other two. I missed 10 weeks and am pretty heart broken.
And that is about it for now! I will hopefully be back to blogging regularly and will catch up on the past month. (Seriously the thought of blogging actually made me sick...I'm weird).
So check back.

You're cute :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back:) I bated walking around feeling nauseous but not actually throwing up. I'm glad you are starting to feel better.
ReplyDeleteWell I have done both girls and boys. For me boys were hard because they were more needy as babies(at least mine were), like I swear Ryder would climb back into my womb if he could. But my girls are crazy as in put everything in their mouth, climb everything and try to run away. But now that Natty and Noah are older I say girls are harder Natty is harder just because they are so flippin emotional. I can deal with a broken window by a crazy pretend ninja with a light saber, easier than a sob fest over an outfit.
ReplyDeleteWell since I have 2 boys & 2 girls I would just like to say that my boys are BY FAR easier than my girls. Girls are just drama and I know your are no exception :) My boys are definitely busy, but I would rather handle busy than screaming, whining, crying ALL THE TIME. I'm going to predict that when they are older it will switch around where my boys might be getting in trouble and my girls will be perfect little angels :) I can only hope!
ReplyDeleteFunny I am exactly one week ahead of you! I never threw up once, but had nausea 24/7 with no relief it was awful.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY, a new post! It's been so long. Don't you need to post about Brighton's prom or something by now? I kid.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better!
I am still excited that you are adding another little nugget to your family!
ReplyDeleteAnd you hand/knife incident?!?! That is terrible! Speaking of nerves, I had sinus surgery in 2006 and they had to cut a nerve in my nose. I still do not have feeling on a section on the roof of my mouth.
On a side note, I was listening to a throwback Ataris CD this morning and was overwhelmed with memories of high school... ahhhh.. the good ol days :)
