Hello baby!!!
Haven’t written in a while, but things have been pretty much the same. GOOD NEWS!! My nausea and vomiting have reduced SIGNIFICANTLY!!! I still find that the hallway from my job smells and I still gag but at least is not making me throw up!
I think the doctor’s are a little confused or crazy because one doc told me that by now I should be 13 weeks and 2 days, but Tuesday when I went to the doctor’s again, I was told I was almost 14 weeks…that’s a week extra, which is what I originally thought!!! Making my new due date December 24th and not the 29th……
Speaking of doctor’s appointments, this was the longest yet!! I was there for almost 2 hours and saw the Social Worker (a chatterbox who spoke of nothing but her son buying a new house and asked me a few questions to fill out a form). I saw the nurse who gave me a lot of information of what to do and what NOT to do…most of which I new already….then I saw the nutritionist who just gave me a few handouts of things I should eat and what to avoid. All of this while poor Robert was waiting alone outside!
I have another appointment on July 10th and I will FINALLY see the doctor. They will also do a hepatitis vaccine and I would have to go back Sunday to the emergency room to have them check it. I hope she schedules the first sonogram fast, cause I want to see who is causing me so much trouble!!
One thing I am embarrassed about is that I gained 10 pounds so far!!! The nurse told me that usually you don’t gain weight on the first trimester (especially since you’re throwing up all the time). So now I have to watch what I eat and I am NOT eating for two because the baby barely eats yet…hahahaha…that was my excuse for everything!! I’ve been eating a little better since yesterday. I’m trying to eat more fruits and veggies and staying away from bread…sigh my favorite of all carbs. But if you eat too much bread and starch you might develop diabetes and that is WORSE!! So bread, we’re taking a little break, you and I.
Today I am having the WORSE head ache/tooth ache/ear ache in the WORLD!!...ok maybe not in the world, but is pretty bad. I already scheduled a Dentist appt for tomorrow at 9am, so hopefully he can do something because I can’t take more than 2 Tylenols a day and the Anbesol only works for a few minutes
Oh, for father’s day I gave Robert a frame with a poem called “My Daddy’s hands”. He cried when he read it because he, as I did too, did not have the opportunity of growing up with his real father. At least I grew up with my two uncles who I now call daddy. But he didn’t have that privilege. The poem it reads as follows
“My Daddy's Hands”
“Daddy, take my hand in yours and you will plainly see,
How very much I need you now to love and care for me.
As my little hand grows, I will need you even more,
Everything I do in life, I have never done before.
Teach me to be Kind and loving, sharing and forgiving,
Show me through your acts of love the pure joy of living.
The years will pass by quickly, and one day I will be grown
I will pass what you have taught me on to children of my own
Hold me always in your thoughts and remember when we are apart
The special love between a child and a daddy's heart.
See you in December, dad.
That is it for today….see ya next time!!
Symptoms: mild pain in my belly, but the nurse said it was ok, that it was my uterus expanding. Nausea when smelling strong odors and the occasional pain in the butt, haha. The other head ache/tooth ache/ear ache is not pregnancy related.
