12w0d

I should write about poop more often.  LOL.  Many great comments yesterday; thank you for all the ideas! 

WEEKLY UPDATE


How far along: 12 weeks 0 days - Cricket is the size of a plum!

Total weight gain/loss: According to the scale - 13-14 lbs.  Eek.  If you take away the 10 lbs they WANTED me to gain, 4 lbs.  But I don't know how to count it. 

Maternity clothes: Yes.  Still have some shirts that fit, so that's a mixed bag.  But pants are all maternity or stretchy.

Stretch marks: way too early for those!  Keeping an eye on the puberty-induced ones, though.  And have started the Cocoa Butter applications daily.

Sleep: Same old, same old.  Tired all the time, but can't sleep 8 hours straight.  It's a conundrum.  I love naps.

Movement: way too early for that! But I can't wait :)

Cravings/Aversions: Cravings: For the most part it's just a matter of finding something I can tolerate. Aversions: Stinky odors, red meat, and whatever doesn't agree with me on any given day.

Gender: at this point, we have decided not to find out...let's see if we hold steadfast to that! DH says boy, I say girl.

Symptoms: Nothing new, though the BBs have stopped hurting.  Still growing.  To give you an idea, before we started treatement I could fit into a 32B.  Bought a new bra the other day, just a smidge big to allow for growth, 38C.  Yeah....Still vomiting if I'm not horizontal.  Moving cars and flourescent lights are my enemy.  Non-stop headache.  And, as you know, constipation.  LOL. 

What I miss: Not a thing :)

What I look forward to: Passing the first trimester :), and actually LOOKING pregnant, as opposed to just like I've put on weight. This is starting to happen, and only 1 more week left in first tri.  How is it going so fast??

Moods: Irritable beyond belief, interspersed with sappy crying.

Milestones: 12 weeks, which for many is end of first tri, but I count next week. 

Medical Concerns: Still taking my Syn.throid at 50mcg. To be tested again next trimester. 8mg Zo.fran every 12 hours for nausea...ummm, yeah, it lessens it A BIT but I am still puking like a champ. Zo.loft 50 mg...hoping that helps again with my anxiety...which in turn should help with some other symptoms.  Called the doctor yesterday after throwing up 5 times by 3:30 pm.  Got the on-call guy, who talked about a Zo.fran pump.  I don't think I'll do it.  But I think the vomiting is here for the long haul.

Weekly Wisdom: I've got nothing this week.  Honestly, not much has changed, so it's just a matter of same old.

Best moment this week: Free crib!  Well, it needs repairs, and right now is functioning in pieces as fabulous doggy gates, but it's a crib nonetheless!

Worst moment this week: Still sick as a dog, worried I'm in that for the long haul.

Belly Pic:  Oh, yeah, the bloat is back.  Why is all the weight at belly button or higher when the baby is still so low?  Seriously, all gas.  LOL.  I am going to be ENORMOUS.
