14 weeks

Okay, I have run out of excuses for not blogging. I do have to say that since I posted last I have been going to bed on average around 8:30 every night. I also have spent most of my days feeling very sick. The first trimester of this pregnancy has really knocked me down. Thankfully, I have begun to feel better. I think part of it is getting out of the first trimester and also not taking DHA. When I was pregnant last all I had to take was good ole prenatal vitamin but now they want you to take a DHA pill. When Noah was on formula it was a big deal for him to get DHA. The vitamin that Dr. E told me to buy came with the DHA pill separate. So, one night I forgot and just took the prenatal pill. The next day no nausea, hmm I thought. The next night I decided not to take the DHA pill again no nausea. I told Dr. E what I thought and she said it could be a little of both to give it a few more weeks and try the DHA pills again. But, for right now no more nausea. YEA!!!!!!!!

Now, on to the surgery. I knew getting pregnant meant I would have surgery around this time. It really was not as bad as I thought. I have only had one really really bad contraction (which reminded me that I actually have to have this baby and go through that again -- uggh I had kinda forgotten about that part) I have had to be on bed rest since the surgery and until Monday. That has been tougher than I thought it would be. I spent 7 weeks in the hospital on bed rest with Noah so, I thought one week at home would be a breeze. I don't know why this is different but, all I have wanted to do is exercise. Brian went last night to work out and I wanted to say no you can't go I am going. This is rare b/c I am not a big exerciser. I haven't had any trouble sleeping and I did finish a book I was reading so those are good things. I just am ready for Saturday and Sunday to be over.

Next Friday I go in for a post op check up and my 15th week check up. Dr. E said she would try and look for the sex. I am so excited I hope the baby will work with us so we can find out.

Noah and I in the hospital bed. He actually did much better than I thought he would. I think it really helped that he got to sleep in and then take a good nap thanks to his Aunt Ashely helping out.

My first belly picture. I know it doesn't look very big but boy it feels like I got a lot bigger a lot faster this time around.
