So far I have had morning sickness all day for several weeks. Once that went away, I would get occasional nausea especially around times to eat. I haven’t had and food aversions and not many cravings. I often get sick when I haven’t eaten for a period of time but also am not hungry which makes it hard to eat.
During the time that I had constant morning sickness I tried all kinds of things to help. I tried ginger ale, ginger snaps, preggy pops, lemon drops, lemonade and probably others I can’t remember. The only thing I could get some relief from was the lemon drops. I went several days keeping lemon drops in my mouth at all times unless I was eating. I got to the point I hated eating the lemon drops because they were tearing up my mouth and making my teeth sensitive. I still eat lemon drops when I get nauseous.
I’ve had indigestion like crazy from the very beginning. It seems like it’s worse since the 2nd Trimester though. Some days I will take 3 rantidine. I drink a lot of milk and always have milk in the morning for breakfast to ward off some of the indigestion. I have heart burn more often now too but it is unpredictable.
I got an ear infection a few weeks ago and had to go to the doctor who put me on Ammoxicillian. Taking that cause me to get a yeast infection so it’s not been a pleasant time lately.
We have yet to go to the doctor due to insurance issues but we got approved for Medicaid and have an appointment on Monday, February 6th. I will be 16 weeks by then. We are really excited to finally see the baby and hear the heartbeat. We are hoping that we will get to find out the gender of the baby as well but have heard it could be early or not. I guess we will see on Monday. I can’t wait to have an ultrasound and see the baby move – and I can’t wait to get a picture of the ultrasound to keep!
Since I haven’t been to the doctor, it still seems unreal. I’ve gained about 15 pounds and my belly is already showing some so that part is hard to ignore but I still can’t feel the baby and haven’t seen him’her. I’m looking forward to finally getting that connection.
I have a feeling that we are having a boy but I have no reason why I think that. I will be happy either way but I am kind of curious to see if there is some kind of intuition that comes with pregnancy for me to know that.
I have a list of names that I have had for a long time but once I started looking at it I decided that I couldn’t narrow it down or even think about it until I knew the sex. Mom and I are working on a family tree because I would like to find some family names to use.
I feel like I have been a little moodier since I became pregnant but only just recently. I definitely get emotional easier – it’s funny what makes me want to cry. But I’ve also been more “sassy” as Ryan calls it – especially when dealing with the teenagers. Things that I normally put up with annoy me lately.
