As you can probably imagine, it's been pretty tough. Trying to care for a 2.5 year old when being SUPER tired and not feeling all that great is certainly not ideal, but it could be way worse. I have not been very sick, which I'm extremely grateful for, but have definitely been more nauseous this time around vs. when I was pregnant with Dylan. No morning sickness, just really nauseous starting around 4pm and lasting until I go to bed - which mind you, is usually promptly at 8:15 after we put Dylan down. I want to say "poor Aaron," since he hasn't seen me past 8:15 in about 7 weeks, but really it's "poor Ali." Talk about not being able to catch up on "life," hence why this is only the 2nd blog post I've written since finding out. And similar to when I was pregnant with Dylan I want nothing to do with food. Obviously I'm still eating, but nothing is appetizing, particularly red meat, and I tend to feel sick after eating. Ugh.
However, now that we're nearing the 2nd trimester it should get a little better. I've actually already noticed a slight difference in my fatigue - I emphasize slight, but in return I'm starting to get some headaches and the dizziness when standing up too quickly is happening. Oh, and that thing we all call a "baby bump" is certainly there. I swear it actually started to form around 7 weeks and there is definitely no hiding it now. So it's a good thing we can now share it with everyone.
Our 12 week ultrasound was yesterday, 10/25/11 and it went perfectly. He/She is looking great says the doctors. It's heartbeat is beating fast and he/she has got both arms and legs. :) Awe, how cute! Just about another 6 weeks until we can find out the sex...and yes, we WILL be finding out. You know me...I'm a planner. Until next week...Love to all
