Been having a hard time.
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
