16 week update!!

Monday was my 16 week appointment! That means only 4 more weeks till halfway point! Which is good, because I have been, and continue to be, sick, since week 13, sooo, the sooner we get this baby cooked, the better!!

After waiting two freaking hours from my appointment time (oh the price you pay for the best), I got to see the doctor and spill all of my current anxiety fears about the babe. (Well, i did leave out the overwhelming feeling that I'm spauning a vampire/alien/creature who, in true Twilight fashion, is stealing all of my nutrients in an effort to gain strength on me and eventually overpower me and gnaw its way out of my uterus and abdomen leaving my remains in a bloody heap on the floor. I feel my doctor may be sending me down the hall to the psych ward if i say too much.) But alas, the doc says the baby is fine. Or you know, as fine as a cervical exam and heartbeat listen can tell. *All was well with the cervix and baby's heartbeat was beating strong, if youre interested ;)*

Mommy is still having issues though. Damn that scale.  You will it to keep going down most of your life and then you want it to go up and it just will not.  Turns out, I am loosing weight still. This is not a personal choice. I do understand that gaining weight=a healthy babe.  However, when you get sick on almost everything you've eaten (coming from a girl who hasn't had a terribly diverse appetite for years to begin with), you start to run out of things to eat. Thus, problem.  But no worries. I shall conquer the issue!  I'm on a new medication regime in hopes that if we (baby safely) keep my body medicated enough, it won't have time to get sick, and the food will go in and stay in and the scale can start rising.  I have one week (5 days now!) before I report back for a weight in.  Wish me luck!!

*Dear baby, if you're reading this someday, just know, it was bad, but you were so worth it! <3*
