Metal Mama

Erik sitting on an old stone wall at Hubbarton Battlefield in Hubbarton Vermont on Veteran's Day. We went to teh battle field and walk around to each of the markers. Erik had more fun picking pretty flowers for mommy, and chasing butterflies with sticks!

And now blogger, and my computer, are having issues so I guess that is all for pictures for now, but at least it's a wonderful dose of cuteness!

Still not really feeling or looking the pregnant part. I had an appointment yesterday and I have actually gained 2 pounds after loosing almost 20. :( Improvement is good, though I hate the medicine that I have been on to get that improvement, I'd rather feel drunk.

The baby is moving a lot. I've decided that I am going to refer to IT as SHE from here on out unless we learn otherwise. We had an ultrasound yesterday, and they are still not certain by 60% sure it's a girl. I call it she all the time in real life and it's hard not to here, when talking about it.

I've got a few belly pics I will have to get up at some point. I thought taking them might make me feel a little more pregnant, but no such luck.

Rich learned of an acupressure point on my legs that he can rub to help trigger and stimulate my appetite. I'm willing to try anything at this point, even more so if it has no killer side effects.

Life has been stressful lately, but I am dealing I guess. I'm going to see Erik tomorrow and can't wait. I'm pretty excited about that!

I've had a lot of rough days in the last few weeks hence my cease in posting. Sorry. I always have good days and bad days and my good days usually kick ass. We've been going out and doing lots of fun things, especially with Erik, with all this nice weather we have had. I have some pics. We've been having a great time.

Eating is still quite difficult. I have not updated since having my last appointment I think because there is a lot of disappointment on my end from us not being able to find out the sex of our little bean. The ultrasound tech tried really hard, she really did, but our baby just wanted to play peek-a-boo between the legs instead and made it really difficult to see "things". We got a lot of great shots to take home and although I have lost even more weight somehow, thankfully, our baby that day was measuring perfect for 19 weeks and a few days. As I sit here today and type this I am 21 weeks and 2 days.

I eat what I can, when I can, and usually it's not much. My Dr. told me to not think of eating in meals, but the facts that I am consuming something is wonderful. The more I stress about what I eat or how much is just as bad as not eating. If I my stomach is not turned on by what is for dinner, but I want something else, even if it's a bit crazy, go for it.

Sometimes it's so hard to explain how I feel. Rich had pool league last night and I went out and they were making loaded nachos behind the bar and EVERYONE thought the smelled terrific. OMG I've smelled better cow shit. Sad thing, months ago I tried these nachos and they are indeed wonderful, but that night, with how I had been feeling it was about to do me in.

My stomach is so sensitive, as well as my sense of smell and motion. It's shitty, but I'm doing better.ult
