Weight gain? Down about 13 lbs according to the home scale.
Belly button? Still looks normal :)
Wedding rings on or off? Still on!
Movement? Nothing that I could say for sure is baby, but definitely feeling something.
Maternity clothes? Yes! Shirts are a must this week..
Symptoms? Feeling? Nausea every morning (sometimes vomiting) and each evening but I have a good window each day from about 1pm until 6pm. I'll take it! Starting to feel my ribs give. Lots of muscle rolling in my belly which isn't super comfy.
Mood? Feeling a lot better emotionally. I saw my therapist this week and was reminded to stop thinking negatively about how long this feeling like crap COULD last and focus more on getting through each day.
Missing? Feeling rested. Taking a shower with little to no effort. Running. Effortlessly getting on the floor to play with Dawson.
Looking forward to? My next appointment on the 11th & scheduling the anatomy scan ultrasound.
Sleep? Having good nights and bad. I either sleep like a rock or I toss and turn a lot. Can't sleep on my belly at all anymore and that sucks.
Exercise? No. Just no. Exercise = lose my breath super easily and uncontrollable gagging. (I have a feeling this won't change anytime soon..) I don't have the energy to do a lot, but I have been getting out of the house a couple times a week to go for a walk in the mall or ikea, things like that.
Any cravings? Salt. Still salt.. Really into steak fries with loads of Red Robin seasoning. I've also found a new safe food- refried beans. I've eaten a lot of bean burritos this week. I managed to go out for sushi this week (and enjoy it!) and On The Boarder! Drinks are iced tea and ocean water from Sonic.
Food aversions? Most foods still. Anything too sweet sounds awful or tomato based things.
This new liquid promethazine has been a miracle drug for me. I take it mostly at night and it seems to shape the following day for me. It makes me really sleepy and drunk feeling so I have to have someone here if I take it during the day. I've really had a pretty good week other than feeling very very tired. I am trying to remind myself that I haven't had a lot of nutrition and barely enough fluids to keep me going lately so of course I'm going to be exhausted. Doing simple things is still hard. I'm doing my best to sneak naps when I can but most of the time I don't manage that so I try to get into bed a little earlier. Otherwise I am just chugging along!
It sounds like you're coping quite well! I really feel for you, though. I loved being pregnant! I danced and drank virgin drinks, and went to friends' weddings! I had an excuse to get fat and not worry about it! (With Joe, not with Amanda). I lost weight with Amanda. She came out small, but healthy. 5 lbs 10 oz.
