(Note... I backdated this entry since I'm a little behind. I'll write another one tonight to catch up to the present.)
My tagline basically sums up the rest of my first trimester. I never had morning sickness—I felt great after getting good night’s sleep. But after a full day of work, I’d be hungry and tired. Jason would ask me what I wanted for supper and I would have no idea. We’d finally think of something, and I’d be able to eat about three bites before feeling sick. Sometimes I could eat a half portion, which was fine. Except I never knew when I would take one more bite and it would be too much, causing me to gag and not want to eat for several more hours. It was annoying to have a hungry stomach but a non-cooperative mouth. Several times, I wished for an IV. It would just be so much easier. It was a bit comforting though, just to have the nausea to remind me that I was pregnant. A lot of times it didn’t seem real, since I could still wear all my old clothes and January 30 seemed so far off.
I also slept all the time. We took a week long vacation to visit a bunch of my relatives, and I took naps all the time. Jason must have been really bored, but he didn’t complain.
Jason went with me to my last dr’s appt. (at 12 weeks) and we could hear the heartbeat through the Doppler tool, which was pretty cool. I had heard it at the ultrasound, but it was the first time Jason had heard it. And it also meant I could go off Prometrium (a progesterone supplement they put me on because they discovered I had low progesterone levels during my infertility testing.). Prometrium made me really tired, so I was glad to stop taking it.
Well, that pretty much sums up the first trimester. Now on to the present!
