It's almost beach time!

A lot of people have been asking how I've been feeling, so I thought I would post before we head off to the beach on Thursday. I've been feeling better, but the sickness definitely isn't gone. I have good times of day and not so good times, and I found out the hard way that I should not go too long without eating. I am still down about 2 lbs. overall (I'm assuming I'll make up for that another time), but my belly is definitely changing.

Stan has been absolutely fantastic. I'm going on 9 weeks of not feeling good, and he is definitely a trooper. If I get hungry for something in particular, he will stop for it on his way home from a full day of work or even go back out to get it after he gets home. He doesn't even run away when I'm throwing up (like I do when he's sick). :) He has been extremely understanding of all the weird things that have been happening to my body, and he still tells me all the time that he loves me which is the most important.

On Thursday, we are headed to Sea Isle City for 10 days. Although I love it there in our quaint little beach house, it has no air conditioning, and I'm wondering what that will do for the nausea. Hopefully all will be well, and I can enjoy our vacation without incident. Thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes. I'll be thrilled to post again once the sickness is over. Our next appointment is July 13 when we get back, so I'll update then!

Doctor's Appointment

We had another appointment on Wednesday. In the office, she couldn't find the heartbeat, so we had to go down to the ultrasound area. Luckily, she found it right away, and we got another picture! :) The baby was moving all around, and it was even waving to us. The scan came out really small, but the circle on the right is the head (dark spots are the eyes), and the circle on the left is the body. There is a little white speck above the body which is its hand (while waving).

As far as how I've been feeling - I was actually feeling a whole lot better for about a week, but I've been feeling sick again since Thursday. Today is the beginning of my 13th week, and I'm hoping and praying that the sickness goes away!

I have one more week of school left, and a few more weeks of grad school (yuck). I can't wait until I can just relax and do absolutely NOTHING for awhile. Our next appointment isn't until the middle of July. I'll keep you all posted!!
