Baby Update - 14 weeks

Yesterday I went to my OB for my 14 weeks appointment.  Everything is looking good.  Blood work came back normal and the ultrasound looked great.  I got to hear the baby's heartbeat, which is always fun and reassuring!

I am still feeling pretty crappy.  This past week was rough.  Mon. & Tues I couldn't keep anything down and had a horrible migraine.  Wed. was a little better and yesterday I was feeling a lot better.  My OB finally gave me a Rx for a nausea med. and so hopefully that will help with my tummy issues and dizziness.  She also told me that now I am 'officially' in my 2nd Trimester, and so I can take Excedrin Migraine for my migraines!  Yay!  (Tylenol just doesn't do anything!)

I have been having aches and pains in my back and hips.  I guess this is my body prepping my body.  Not fun, but part of the game.

I haven't gained any weight.  I figure it is 1) because I started out with enough 'insulation' for the baby and 2) it has been hard to keep much down!  My clothes are starting to feel snug and I hate wearing jeans because they push in on my tummy and are uncomfortable.  I don't look prego yet, and that's OK.  I know in the next couple of months the baby will grow a ton and start to show more in my belly.

Well, that's a little run-down of my fabulous life of being pregnant.  It definitely has not been an easy pregnancy, and I am not even half way done yet!  Ugh!  Oh well.  I keep telling myself that I wanted this and that it will be worth it when it is over.  We are all excited for the new addition to our family!
