Today marks 6 weeks. I wish I could say that I am still feeling great, but alas, I am not. MS started about three days ago and was here with a vengeance over the weekend while we were in VT visiting family and attending a baby shower for my cousin and his wife. I have yet to actually vomit - though there are a number of times that I wish that I just could so that I could feel better. The only thing that has seemed to not slosh around all over the place and contribute to the nausea are the McD's french fries and chicken nuggets that I had on our drive back home last night. Not good. I usually cannot stand stopping at fast food restaurants and typically get an upset stomach from all of the grease but apparently, the belly appreciated last night.
I am already in the practice of consuming a couple of saltines before getting out of bed in the morning, as the second I wake up I have pangs of hunger that will suddenly turn to stomach churning if I do not eat something.
Anyway, I am taking it in stride. The more I feel it, the less worried I am that something is going wrong. I will take it.
We have our first ultra sound on Thursday. Right now, I am really excited about it. I am sure that will turn into nervousness as we get closer. Nervousness that there won't be anything in there, that things won't look like they have progressed the way that they should and nervousness that there will be multiple babies in there. A few family members are already convinced that it is twins. How? I have no idea. Of course, I would be ecstatic with twins (or one) as long as they are healthy. OK. So maybe I am already nervous about it :-)
I took a 6 week "belly" photo this morning. The only other pic that I took was before we started with the drugs for this cycle. I knew that I had some bloating, but it actually does look like there might be a little bit of something sticking out there. Unfortunately, I cannot locate the pic that I took prior to the meds, so there is nothing to compare it too, but here it is :-)
Scratch that, I found the first pic.
Day One of Lupron
6 Weeks
You can def see it in the boobs and talk about junk in the trunk! I think that might be the #1 reason why my pants are getting tight. My butt is growing more than anything!
Ok, time to get to work.
I hope that everyone has a great week. I will for sure update as soon as we are back from the ultra sound on Thurs, if not before then.
I hear you on the MS! Mine has been the same way. Just being able to vomit would feel so much better! Don't feel bad about not being able to get anything healthy in. My diet today has consisted of onion rings and half of a hamburger. Once the MS subsides you'll be able to get back to healthy eating!
ReplyDeleteYour bump is looking so cute. Your boobs do look like there is some extra "junk" ha!
Looking at it now, it actually looks like there was more of a bump before-hand! Def junk in the boobies though...
