Well I am at week 11 of my pregnancy... and I can't believe it. After going through what seemed like pregnancy hell from weeks 6-9, the last two weeks have gone by rather quickly. I have been horrible at blogging, and especially at noting things about my pregnancy. I know I will regret not documenting more later, but I am doing what I can now.
So today I am 11 weeks... and feeling better than ok. I did have some nausea Monday and Tuesday evenings... but nothing unbearable. I took naps a few days this week again too... something I hadn't done in a few weeks. But I am attributed that to allergies KICKING MY ASS! Almost 2 weeks ago my asthma landed me in the ER at 2 am because my emergency inhaler wasn't doing it's job. But after getting a breathing treatment and another prescription for my inhaler I am doing much better. Still using it 3-4 times a day, but it's getting better. I hadn't taken any allergy meds at all this season... which is unheard of for me since I am a 5 different prescriptions during spring time kinda gal. But something in me (probably the Mom) didn't want to take any extra medication. I know it's perfectly safe, and would probably do me good with my asthma, but I still didn't want any. Well yesterday I caved. After going through 1/2 a box of tissue in under an hour, walking around the house with a headache and kleenex stuffed up both nostrils and breathing through my mouth, I took a zyrtec. And it worked wonderfully. I didn't take one today... mostly because I forgot and it's one that should be taken in the morning, so I may take it tomorrow, I may not who knows!
Other symptoms that have come up this past week... nothing hugely different. I keep seeing that my boobs are getting larger and larger... and coming from a girl who grew up with... we'll call them "less than average size tatas"... I am loving this! I had to go out yesterday (leave the house by myself and do something!) and buy new clothes because mine have decided they aren't fitting anymore... at all! I bought a few maxi dresses and long larger shirts that I could wear to work. I haven't embraced the look of the baby bump yet... probably because I still know it's a lot of bloat and pizza... But I think these new outfits will help. I saw a picture that was taken of me on Mother's Day and I started crying to my husband and yelling at him for letting me walk out of the house looking the way I did! I'm not going to post that picture... because it was AWFUL!
Another thing that has happened in the last week or so... is that once the nausea went away... the food stayed. I feel like I am CONSTANTLY eating. If I'm at home... I'm snacking... not even full meals... just crap junk food ALL THE TIME! I don't love it. I wish the fruit here was better so I can start eating that... but it is all horrible right now... maybe in a couple weeks it will get better. I did start drinking V8 Fusion to compensate for my lack of fruits and veggies. I still haven't started cooking again... my husband is quite excited for me to get back
Well that's it for my update as of today... hopefully I will get better at doing these again :)
