Right now as I am writing this, I am one day away from being 15 weeks. I haven't posted for 14 weeks but I am catching up today. I wanted to catch up on my blog writing while I am feeling good. Today I have NOT THROWN UP!!! There have been a couple days like this, but today was the first day I took a one hour break between doses of my nausea meds and didn't regret it completely. Haha. I went one hour without nausea meds and I did not throw up.
More miracles though! On Friday night I went grocery shopping with my husband. I remember when we got into the store I told him "Dang, I haven't been in a grocery store in like three months." It was a hard outing on me, I ended up vomiting a little in the Winco bathroom while my husband finished up. I also went home and slept from like 10:00 pm that night straight through to 4:15 pm the next day. My husband would wake me up for nausea meds, but he let me sleep. Wonderful man <3 Then yesterday (Sunday) I made it to church for the first time in TWO MONTHS!!!! I only made it through the first two hours, but it was lovely and a much needed boost in my life. I've also been getting better at eating. I had a huge can of beans the other day with a tortilla. Yesterday I had a bowl full of Tortellini with red sauce. I can manage some smells a little better too. Still can't handle garlic at all.
Next week is the earliest we can find out the sex of our baby! I'm very excited but I think I'm going to schedule that ultrasound sometime in week 17 or 18 so I can find out at the same time my husband does. He's so excited to be a daddy. I can't wait to see his face when the baby is born. He lights up every time we see our love on the ultrasound screen. It's a sacred experience to see the love of my life slowly become a daddy. He's so wonderful and I adore him.
I am excited for a post I will start writing next week. It has to do with old wives tales and ways people have come up with to guess the gender of your baby before the ultrasound. My husband and I are going to do some of the experiments and research together and create a tally of the results of those tests. One tally will be the number of times the tests predict girl and one for prediction of boy. I'm excited, and I think it will be a fun date night for my husband and I. I'm thinking about filming the ultrasound that reveals the gender too. We are so excited.
I'll get back to my normal weekly posts this week on Wednesday when I go to the doctor again. I wanted to update some things before I forget them though. I will also do a baby bump pic on Wednesday because I do have one starting. My husband caught a sneaky stretch mark the other day, but lotion and coconut oil and hydration took care of that.
Anyway, thanks for reading! :)
