12 Weeks- My baby at 11 weeks is approximately the size of a lime. I find it hard to believe that my little one could be that size already. My stomach is flatter then flat as I'm still to sick to really entertain eating and drinking. I am having more good days then bad so the Zofran pump is officially working, but I cannot wait until this is all behind us. Us- myself, my kids, my husband, and all our friends and family who have been so helpful these past 6+ weeks.
Speaking of the Zofran pump... now every time it gives me a dose (about every 10 minutes) it stings! Seriously! I'm crazy itchy all over my belly and feel like there are tiny bugs crawling in the inside of my skin! If I lay in a perfect position (which changes) everything is fine and even the itchyness fades, but my oh my- I forgot how incredibly itchy this thing was when I was pregnant with Ruthie. I wouldn't trade it for anything right now though- I mostly stick with soups but I've craved pizza the other night (no pepperoni but with bacon and sausage?!?) and I even found myself daydreaming about Chinese food?!?! It's exciting. Now if I could just figure out beverages that I can stand without gagging and hugging the toilet. I can't drink just cherry koolaid for much longer. Gross- I know ... but that's it, that's what my body will allow me to consume on a daily basis.
Monday I have an actual doctors appointment and I should be able to hear the heart beat. That's exciting. I am also hopeful this will be the first week I don't have to go into the hospital immediately afterwards for a hydration treatment. I don't think my veins could handle one more of those! I feel positive that I am doing better and that the doctors will see some improvement. Dare I say maybe a little weight gain!?
