I am now on week fourteen. Morning sickness is getting a little better. It isn't every day but still frequent. Still not loving all the sickness and cramping and gas and indigestion and constipation followed by diareah every once in a while to clean out.
The baby is around 3 1/2 inches long now. The baby can make inhale/exhale movements now. Also he/she can move its fingers. The baby's neck is getting longer and its eyes are moving into the right spot on its head. The baby is getting its nourishment from the placenta now. The baby is about the size of a peach now. The baby also sucks on its hand now if it happens to brush its face.
Today is a good day. I didn't get sick yesterday even though I felt like it all day. I somehow managed to fight it. Maybe I am getting better afterall.
I had two good days, two bad days, and now it looks like I am back to two good days. Maybe I really am getting better. On my bad days it didn't seem like it, but I don't normally go without throwing up at least once a day. So two days in a row is awesome.
My belly button has expanded. The hole is really big now and my belly button has doubled in size. it is also getting closer to the surface. I guess it will probably pop out when I get bigger. I was hoping that wouldn't happen because that is a bit weird. I don't want Michael to freak out every time he gets near me because my stomach looks funny. I also have blue veins very pronounced all over my body and not just my chest anymore. My stomach seemed to grow a bit last weekend. I am still not big yet. But I don't fit any of my pants. I am running out of ideas for clothing options lately. I guess I am gonna have to break down soon and go buy a new pair of pants. I am putting it off though. I really don't want to deal with it yet. I need to make my second appt soon.
I see his face, I look into his eyes.
He shows me the future of our lives.
I see his face, I see his smile.
It lets me know he will go the extra mile.
He kisses me, so soft and sweet.
In such a way, no one can defeat.
He touches me with such desire.
He sets my mind, body, soul on fire.
Who is this man, I won't pretend.
He is my lover, my companion, my best friend.
Dedication: I dedicate this original Heidi Greb poem to my loving husband, Michael Greb.
I am now 13 weeks pregnant. I am still sick. When will this go away. I had two really good days, now I am more sick than ever. I think the baby is getting revenge for the two days I was not sick.
The vocal cords are starting to form. The face is looking more and more human each day. The eyes begin to move closer together instead of being on the sides of the head and the ears move to a normal position. The intestines move farther into the baby's body; the liver begins to secrete bile and the pancreas begins to produce insulin.
I am supposed to be getting bigger. Cramping happens sometimes because the ligaments are stretching. I can believe this. My cramping I had in the beginning seems to have come back. I grew quite a bit over the weekend. It still isn't noticeable to the public. But I certainly saw a difference. I sure hope this is over soon.
I am almost 13 weeks pregnant now. I haven't updated for the last week. I will update 13 weeks however.
This morning sickness is never gonna go away. I am tired of being so sick all the time. I have had one really good day in 2 months. I just feel, most of the time, like I don't want to do this anymore. Depression has really set in. I argue all the time with my husband, I get mad about the littlest things, and I feel like the whole world is out to get me. Not to mention how depressed I have been about gaining weight and my life not being normal ever again. I can't do a lot of stuff I used to for the next year. No amuzement parks or rides. Travelling is hard. I get car sick after 10 minute drives. I hope this all goes away soon. I am in the second trimester and everything is still as bad as the first. I thought it was supposed to go away by now.
