I’m momma to a little bean
We went to the OB/GYN on Wednesday and got to see our baby for the first time. We are proud parents of a lima bean - at least that is what the baby looks like right now. It is incredible though that the doc was able to show me the little one’s heart beat already. It made my heart melt.
After three weeks of horrid morning sickness it has been three days since I’ve thrown anything up. Woohoo! It makes me very happy to be able to stand for more than 10 minutes, get out of bed and do something, anything, after having been trapped by my stomach. It’s still a little scary, but it feels good to try and eat a real meal. I’ve lost 10 lbs. It wasn’t the most ideal way to do it though. I felt like an out of control bulimic. My husband would find me crying almost every day he came home from work. Mortified that I hadn’t been able to keep anything but a piece of toast down all day. Gladly the doc said the baby was OK and seemed to be developing normally. What a relief.
Congratulations. Morning sickness is natural, after that stage everything will be fine. Although I don’t have difficulty during those weeks, I can’t eat any food with tomato sauce not until I gave birth. There were many times I tried but my stomach didn’t like it.
Thank for the congrats. I’m finding that tomatoes in any form are a no-no right now. It’s not such a bad thing with the salmonella scare; it is strange to have to pick them out of everything. My other weirdness lately is I can’t stand the smell of mint. My vomiting has subsided to about once a week though between last night and this morning I puked about three times. The sickness has shifted to the evening, mostly. I was hoping to be done by now, but my body must have a few more weeks of adjusting to do.
