Appt. update

This morning I had a dr. appt. It was pretty uneventful. I did my glucose screening, which is where they make you drink a soda a hour before and then they take your blood and test your blood sugar. My blood sugar was fine, but that stick in my finger didn't feel too good. The dr. was also able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler for the first time. I was nervous that he would have a hard time finding it, but he found it pretty quick. It's always nice to hear the heartbeat to help you feel like everything is going okay. It looks like my next sono won't be until Feb. I suspected that would be the case, but was kind of hoping that I might get it next month, since I would 18 weeks. I don't mind waiting though, it's a better chance they will be able to tell the sex.

I think my morning sickness is finally gone. I still get tummy aches from time to time, but I haven't thrown up for a while now. Food still doesn't taste very good to me though, which is kind of disappointing. Hopefully it will start tasting better to me soon. I have felt more movement from time to time. It seems to happen when I start to stand up from a sitting position. It always startles me too, but then makes me smile.

Movement?

I keep thinking that it is way too early for this, but I am pretty sure that I felt that baby move the other day.

I was sitting on the couch and I felt a twinge on my side. It felt like movement, but I thought, no way, it's probably a muscle spasm or something. But then I decided to press down on the spot where I felt it and I definitely felt movement. It was pretty cool. I know I won't feel it very consistently yet, but it was pretty cool to know that the junebug was moving around in there.

1 week

That is how long it has been since I have thrown up. Dare I hope the end is in sight. I still feel sick, but at least I have been able to keep my food down. Also my belly has popped. I know I didn't start showing until I was almost 20 wks last time. But I am starting to show now. I can still hide it to some degree. But I definitely have a belly now.

I was very grateful that I was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and keep all my food down. I was even more excited when I realized that it was egg nog season. I love egg nog and it tasted so good when I was pg with JR. So I picked some up at the store. To my disappointment, Junebug doesn't like it. Oh well, I guess I can live this holiday season without it, if I have to. LOL.
