There’s not a lot to report these days – hence little posting. I am just patiently waiting my first ultrasound. Yeah, right! Definitely not patiently, but I’m trying.
Let’s see…I’m still starving, getting a bit achy, definitely moody, and finding it hard to sleep – despite being so tired. Please know that I am not complaining about these things at all! I’m purely listing my “symptoms”. These are symptoms, that even though they aren’t comfortable, I find them wonderful. They are each a mini reminder that I am in fact pregnant. Now I am just waiting on the nausea to show up. In fact, I’m almost asking for it. Once it shows up, I’m sure I’ll regret that…but right now it would just be like another positive for showing pregnancy.
I did go in for another blood test. I kind of twisted my RE’s arm for this. I got the results this morning. My HCG level is up to 6400! That is way above average for where I am in pregnancy. I consider this really good news. And I also figure it means the nausea is on its way – because HCG is the hormone that tends to make pregnant women queasy.
Oh, and I actually went to a baby store this week. Two in fact, but only one really counts. The first one I was dragged to (I agreed to go, though). The second one was last night. I actually got my husband to take me to the mall and go to Babystyle. My husband hates the mall, plus he didn’t feel good, so this was a big thing! We didn’t stay long, but I did get some special stretch mark lotion. It’s the same stuff that I had used with Cooper. It’s definitely weird starting to look and think about baby things again. Hopefully as I get further along it will get easier.
