Almost 10 weeks...

I have been trying to keep track of various sensations. It's such a challenge to concentrate on all the good stuff when you're trying to keep your stomach settled most of the day. I sat in the last row during chapel today - with one eye on the exit just in case. I had three fabulous days last week - days when I felt hungry, energized, etc. But the honeymoon was soon over, and I was back to gagging at certain smells - fresh cut tomatoes seem to do me in, along with any lingering odor of cooked meat. Bacon seems to have a way of being there, even days after it's consumption. I continue to remind myself that the icky sensations are all good signs - and I continue to count down to June 1st, when I'm hoping the veil is lifted. Not only will it mark the end of daily shots, but I have read that at trimester 2, the baby placenta has developed enough to take over all the hormones that have been causing the stomach unrest. I have an appointment next week with Dr. Bundren. Although I will no longer be going to the office near us, I will continue under his watchful eye at his other clinic. I'm so thankful to have that opportunity. I can't imagine trying to build a new relationship with a doctor that hasn't made this journey with us.

So May 20th is our next appointment. Look for an update after that! The journey continues...Have a great week!
