I know I have been horribly neglectful of my blog these days. Let me assure that it hasn’t been deliberate. I have been wanting to post more regularly, but alas the first trimester has been pretty rough on me. However, the news I guess is that I seem to have made it to the coveted 12 weeks. I’d like to say that I magically woke up and all nausea and feelings of throwing up left me as soon as I reached 12 weeks but not so. It’s still up in the air. Some days go ok – some days don’t. I don’t feel like I am at 100% and I am not sure if it is all in my head or still some crazy hormone mixture coursing through my body. :) Either way, it’s ok. I did say I’d do anything and everything to ensure that Baby G is well and if this makes him/her stick around for the long haul so be it. :)

I still have my freak-out moments though because of the general crappy feeling all-around they have been kept at bay. Really don’t have much time or energy to freak out. Our next appointment with Dr. H is still 3 weeks away! Yowsers! And of course I have my moments hoping all is still well. :) I decided not to rent or purchase a doppler for the time-being. I know it would just make me obsess and if I can’t find the heartbeat I’d be in a frenzy so for the time-being I am just trying to trust all is well. :) We’ll see how that goes.

Vegas has been insanely hot which hasn’t helped. I have been pretty much staying in and sending LOML out. When I do venture out, it’s for short trips since the heat (114-117 degrees) is just too much to bare…besides all the crazy smells out in the outside world is just a little much for my still sensitive stomache.

Fatigue hasn’t been too bad though I do end up going to bed so gosh darn early (8-ish). I end up going to bed then cuz usually I end up feeling crappier at night so it’s just easier to fall asleep and sleep remnant nausea off. :) It’s all gotten to be routine I guess.

I switched from my regular Prenatal Vitamin to some Flintstone ones per Dr. H’s recommendation. He said they would do the trick and probably would be easier to digest than my regular ones. He’s right so far they’ve been going down a lot better so yay! I am still not too keen on my nutitional intake. I still feel limited by what I can eat and am hoping that Baby G gets the proper nutrition. I hope to eventually feel that second trimester kick in and start being able to eat more comfortably. Ahh, I do miss food. I miss eating and enjoying it.

So, we are doing all right over here. Taking each day as it comes. I have ordered some Pregnancy Books finally from Amazon though at first I was hesitant – me superstitious and worried and all, but this past weekend I bit the bullet and went for it. They should arrive sometime this week and then I’ll be able to find out more about what’s happening right now with Baby G.

We’ve also told our respective families and close friends that we are expecting and everyone is very excited and happy. They are cautious since they know our history but everyone has been very supportive which has been great. It was wonderful to share the news. I haven’t told my clients yet and don’t know when the right time would be. I figured I’d wait until I am more entrenched in the second trimester and had my other appointment with Dr. H. (3 more weeks!!!)

Anyways, just wanted to take a quick moment and stick my head out and say I am still here and so is Baby G (at least I hope!) ;) We’re hanging in there and hope that the next few weeks bring us more good news. I hope everyone is well. Thank you so much for the “Congratulations” from my last post. I meant to post my gratitude sooner but Baby G had different plans. :)

Bekah, have you had your u/s yet? How are you feeling??? I hope all is well with your little bean! Keeping my fingers crossed it’s a girl! I know that’s what you want! :) Please let me know how you are doing!
