14 Weeks

We finally made it to a point that I am not sick every moment of every day!  I thought this day would never come.  That's not to say nausea doesn't hit me anymore, because it does.  For example, I had a really good day volunteering at Dress for Success, but around 2:45 the nausea hit me, and by the time I was home from the grocery store at 4, all I wanted to do was sit on the couch and nap.

A tighter shirt to show off the belly better.

What I ended up wearing to volunteer today.  It was fun sharing the news with new and old friends there.

My belly is growing and I am starting to get more energy.  Sometimes I'll look down and be like, "Wow!  That's a bump!"  My sense of smell is not as crazy either.  Currently the only things that bother me are the smell of our bathroom soap and Crest toothpaste.  The toothpaste was terrible enough that I changed brands and now use Sensodyne.  Foods have been harder to enjoy and eat.  My appetite is really small.  For example, I'll eat one taco at dinner instead of two.  I try to eat and snack every couple hours to make up for the smaller meals.

I started putting things on a baby registry this past weekend too.  I figured that I'll use Amazon since they have most things.  We'll probably get our stroller and car seats from a physical store so they can help us set them up and learn all the features.

Bragging on Seth Moment:  There were several days last week where I was throwing up everything I ate and had no energy to move from the couch/bed.  I actually got put on another medicine to help  (I think that makes 4 drugs I have been on).  Seth was (IS) extremely busy at work and would be up most of the day and night working.  Seth finished work earlier one evening (11 PM) and decided to go the grocery store for me so I wouldn't have to go the next day.   He's awesome!
