The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Mary

Well, I thought I was feeling a lot better and on my way to my second trimester, but alas, it only lasted a short few days. Back to nausea. It's okay though, cuz it's been a real adventure. Yesterday, I was so hungry, I braved my way into Subway and got a 6 inch turkey breast on italian herbs and cheese with ranch and olives! It was delightful. Then today, Tim made me a super healthy smoothie to start the day. Unfortunately, I ended up seeing it again at the doctor's office.

The doctor felt so badly for me that she let me have an ultrasound right then and there! Our baby looked really healthy, nice spinal cord and all five fingers on the one hand we could see...the poor thing looked like it was uncomfortable, though, because it kept trying to move it's whole body up and down. If I had my head stuck in a crevice, I'd want it out of there, too! And it's hand was on it's forehead. The doc said it was saying, "Woe is me!"




After the doctor's office, I lost my breakfast again in public outside of the Giant grocery store. That's the first time I've thrown up in public since I was in elementary school. It was no fun. I felt like I needed a sign to post saying "Do not step here." Oh well...sorry world.

Today I sneezed and I thought my ovaries exploded. Turns out that's pretty normal since my stomach is stretching out right now with a baby and all the muscles are tightening up. Enter the sneeze and ouch! Over-stretched muscles.

Looking forward to more time passing so I can get out of this first trimester, dangit. 13 weeks tomorrow (maybe today, according to the ultrasound), and one more week to go.

Here's hoping I get over this soon or else.
