Week 17, and I've only lost

[tdk2]

2.5 lbs since I became pg. Wooo hooo!

Not bad considering how much I throw up!
And the fact I eat whatever I can keep down, which unfortuantely isn't always the healthiest food in the world.  (mashed potato or noodles are often a standby). I still try to eat healthy, but it's been a struggle to get anything in.

The doctor wasn't too worried, as long as I don't get dehydrated. 
I've been taking the zofran, way more than I thought I would.
  And while the dr had been more about natural remedies and said he usually likes people to phase out of using it at this point, that I should freely take it as it's a hell of a lot safer than dehydration for kiddo.

He suspects my exhaustion and hours of sleeplessness will go away when i stop puking so much.
Allergies have been kicking my ass, too, so I don't think that's helped any of it right now.
So, if you wanted an update, there it is!




Heartbeat was great today! 158 bpm.  I told the nurse they should start taking bp readings on the mom AFTER they let us hear the heart beat! hah.

[snickers]

Sorry your puking so much and feeling like crap, I hope it passes soon!

me toooooo. I thought it was lessening but then when my allergies kicked up, it seemed to get worse. I'm actually taking zofran more than once a day now.


But yay for heartbeat and nearly half way there!
