13 week update

Holy cow we are at 13 weeks. That's nuts to me. Many sources site this as the beginning of the second trimester. Ill take it. I can feel my uterus growing. Overall I can feel my energy slowly returning and nausea becoming mostly less and less. Pop that used to help it now seems if I have too much it makes it worse. I've had a couple days of gas and stomach pains. It's constipation. It happens rarely but I'd say about 5 times every pregnancy. Maybe a little more with Leiland. Nothing I can't handle. I have this slight bit of nesting. I think. It's just from the little more energy I've been feeling. My boobs still kill. Especially my nipples. I'm also noticing its starting to hurt to lay on my belly. Boo that's all that's comfy. Or least used to be.

I used my Doppler a couple days ago to hear the hb. I love that I can do that whenever I want. Took me a minute to find it but it was there. According to my app the baby is the size of a tangerine (2.5-3") and is growing now at the rate of an inch per week. That's just so amazing. Hopefully I can feel this baby kick soon. I'm assuming in a month or so. 

We miss Tim terribly right now. I'm still having a tough time falling asleep even when my eyes burn to keep open. It's really hard. I have crazy dreams when I get good sleep though. And I've had at least three that I remember where I gave birth to a boy. Not once have I had a dream this baby was a girl. Never know though. 

I should know gender in two weeks though. But my lips are sealed till I can tell Tim. 

I think that's it for now. Nothing too important. 

Oh and weight has steadied off about 178. 

Cravings win again

Last night I was able to get a good nights sleep - thanks to Leiland. He wanted to sleep in my bed, so I just went to bed early and got about 10 hours. So today I had no nausea. But I desperately need to grocery shop, so we don't have much food. I have been craving olive garden (that all I craved with Ruth) and then remembed a pasta dish we had a pizza hut. Creamy Chicken Alfredo. Tim and I ordered it one day about a month or so ago. It was surprisingly good. I order a family size which feeds 4. I figure some leftovers is a good idea. Dinner tomorrow? Sure works for me. So here it is almost 10pm and I just ordered food. I am already tired, but thats ok.

Morning sickness

Today was a day where morning sickness didn't start my day but it lasted all day long. I woke fine and on the drive to a breastfeeding big latch on (I was photographing) I ate some rice cakes. I was only slightly nauseous till I had to get out of the car. Then as the day progressed it just got worse and worse. After that event we went to a birthday party. It was outside and Leiland had a blast. I kept drinking water and when pizza arrived just the sight made me gag. The weird part was I ate 3 pieces and was fine. Sitting outside in the heat I was just barely making it through being nauseous. Once we got in the car I was worried to drive home. I just felt it in my through. After we got home, Leiland took a nap, and I laid down too. I slept about an hour and a half and woke still nauseous but now with a headache. Nothing sounds good for dinner so I made Leiland scrambled eggs and a frozen gogurt for dinner. We took a walk and I was ok then, but now back at home I feel nauseous again.

Oh the joys.

But I will take it. I actually feel pregnant today, and I am cool with that.

Milk already?

The other day I noticed it in the shower and today I see drops on my bra. With Leiland I started getting milk at 16 weeks. 6 weeks seems crazy early to me. Interesting.

Feeling Pregnant

So today I began feeling pregnant. I made eggs for breakfast and like all my other pregnancies they just didn't taste right. Even made me gag. This has made me feel more pregnant than the sore boobs and slight nausea I've been having. But considering I'm not even 5 weeks along its understandable.

Waiting

So, I wait. Its not as hard as I expected but we just put embryos in 3 days ago. Its crazy its been 3 days already. This weekend was so busy packing.

Yesterday  I was nauseous a couple time but not bad. Then when I gave myself my shot I got SUPER light headed and nauseous and I had to crouch to the ground because I thought I would otherwise fall over.

Today very slight nausea. TERRIBLE heartburn at one point. Now my left nipple is tingling. Weird. Sorry if thats TMI

I took a cheap dollar store test this morning. I showed Tim and we both agree it was negative. But I SWEAR I could see the faintest of lines. I tried to take a picture but you can't see it. So its considered negative.

I am currently 3dp5dt (3 days past a 5 day transfer)

I will take another cheapo test in the morning, just to see. Then Wednesday I will use a real test.
