Our Hands Are Full With Hearts To Match

Update: 11 weeks (basically)

Baby update:   I'm taking it everything is fine.  I still get nauseous but that's about it and that is starting to be off and on day to day.  I don't really feel bloated or like there's a growing human in there but considering there's lots of room to grow in my torso I'm not going to worry.  I have but I'm not going to anymore.

Cookie Tossing Count:  A handful of times now.  I have been bad and been skipping my prenatal vitamins the last week or so because they make me gag usually and don't stay down anyway.  Hoping to start stomaching them again in the next week or two.

Cravings:  Nothing.  The nausea increased the last week or so and nothing has sounded good.  Ramen will usually chill it out and peanut butter sandwiches occasionally but nothing was actually delicious.  I finally had an appetite today and treated myself to grilled chicken sandwich at Wendy's...boy was I stuffed.  My stomach must have shrunk but it tasted good.

Symptoms:  Morning nausea (usually gone by dinner time).  Very occasional stretchy cramps but that's about it.

Recent Events:  We signed paperwork to discard our remaining embryos.  That's a post in itself.  I'm still awaiting the call from our clinic to confirm verbally before they proceed.

Day to Day:  I feel like I barely get to the grocery store lately.  I went today...yeah there is some food in the cupboard again.

The Girls:  We haven't told them about baby news yet.  We ask them occasionally if they want a sibling but get mixed reactions.  We are planning to tell them about it prior to next appointment and bring them with us.  I hope they are excited but we'll see.  We put them into booster seats in hopes of fitting a car seat without the need for a new car.  Jeff is still unsure it'll work.  The girls love the boosters though.

Next visit:  April 1st.
