Good Morning Humble Readers! I hope you all had a great weekend!
Today marks the beginning of week 9 for me, so I thought I would give you a little recap on the last week.
*****
Obviously, this has been a pretty darn good week. Seeing that little blob with the flickering heart is the most perfect moment I have ever experienced. I can't even begin to describe the feeling of being able to breathe again.
*****
This week's symptoms have been all over the place. Off and on all-day nausea, random extreme fatigue, and through the whole week... bloating and constipation. And I'm sure that if I could just 'go' then I would lose a couple of the pounds I've gone up (I know, a change from last week). Sleep has been getting better, but it's still a work in progress. The important thing I've noted is that I have to give in when I feel that wave of tiredness hit at around 10pm. If I push past it and am still up at 11, then I'm hooped.
*****
I'm not really craving anything specific, but when I get something in my head it's like I'm fixated. I can't think of anything else until I eat whatever I'm fixated on. Two hours later, I'm fixated on something else. Ribs, then strawberries, then milk.

My Beloved and I went out on Satuday night, for dinner and a movie. Ribs for me, salmon for him. We saw the new JLo movie. It was funny and cute, and I found it actually handled things like IUI in a tiny bit more realistic manner than other movies (like that Tina Fey movie last year). The support group for single moms that she joins is a hilarious spoof, and the scene where she witnesses a home birth is priceless. One thing tho, her love interest is a goat cheese farmer. As in specialty, unpastuerized goat cheese. She's never shown eating the cheese... just ironic.

I have an OB appointment tomorrow. I'm debating about asking about nuchal fold testing. Any thoughts?

I'm about halfway through this month's ICLW list. I'm hoping to get back to Iron Commenter. It's been great to reconnect with a bunch of blogs I only read once or twice a month, and to meet lots of new-to-me blogs.
Glad you had a great weekend! I haven't seen that movie yet, but I would like too. I've head mixed reviews about it, but it might be fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get some proper sleep. I hate being bone weary exhausted. no fun at all!
*HUGS*
Love the green olive cuteness.
ReplyDeleteHi. I just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog and for the words of encouragement. They help.
ReplyDeleteI wish a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and baby!
Happy ICLW!(#70)
If only to get the extra ultrasound, I would go for a nuchal fold test.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a great week.
Catching up...
ReplyDelete--Loved your "Who am I?" list.
--Kudos to you for the blog award, and much thanks for passing it my way! :)
--Sounds like you and DH had a great weekend. Sorry I have no words of wisdom on the nuchal fold test...
--But YAY for OB appointments and baby updates. 7 weeks, how awesome! Hugs!
First of all congratulations on your "olive" baby!
ReplyDelete2nd of all, you have a delicious menu on the side - do you include the recipes for these lovely goodies?
ICLW
congrats on week nine!!! how exciting!!!! now you have me wanting to see the J lo movie and eat ribs!!!
ReplyDeleteI was that way about food(fixated) glad to hear you're doing well
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie, yeah I think it's definitely a good idea to go to bed earlier to help with the sleep issues. I was exactly the same with the cravings that I did have. I've never heard of that JLo movie, probably won't come out in Australia for ages but sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so very glad to read things are going well. I've had crap all time for commenting but I've been checking in and words really aren't enough to say how excited I am for you :)
