Second Appointment

Since the last update I have been getting better. It has been a week and a half since I last got sick. I still get nauseous and take a Zofran from time to time. The Zofran has been helping, but has started to give me headaches every time I take them. Those of you who know about Zofran or have ever had to take Zofran know the other not so fun side effect of it as well. Although, it has been nice to not have to keep a trashcan by my side 24/7 or scope out the nearest bathroom when entering a store.

My appetite has come back to a certain extent. I am able to eat meals now, which is nice. I am still very picky about what I eat though. Arby's curly fries have been pretty good (with a cup of cheese), chicken pot pies, fruit, and I have been snacking on graham crackers when needed. I feel like I eat junk, but I eat what I can. I have lost a few more pounds.

With my appetite back, and being less sick.....now if I could get some energy/motivation that would be great. I know all pregnancies are not the same, but really I can't believe my lack of energy. A simple shower exhaust me...and then I begin to feel sick.

On an exciting note, we had our second appointment today. Compared to the first one, it was way more exciting. The first appointment the baby looked like a blob. Today we were able to see the hands and feet. The baby was very active as well. It kept moving it's hands back and forth making it look like it was dancing. Seeing the feet and hands, along with the movement was my first moment of this thing is real. I know my hormones are are all whack right now, but I did drop a tear or two during todays ultrasound. John has been able to go to the first two appointments as well. From todays appointment we got two more pictures and a dvd or the ultrasound. I will see what I can do about posting the video.
