25 weeks...

We went on the hospital tour last Monday.  Now we know where to go and what to expect.   We even got to experience it this weekend.  Friday, 3AM I woke with a headache.  I took some Tylenol but woke up with it anyway.  Took more Tylenol and high blood sugar and it still didn't help.  My blood sugar was high that day and it didn't help that I had a bagel for breakfast.  Anyway, called my OB at 7PM and she said to try Sudafed and Tylenol.  Unfortunately, I was shaky all night and still had a headache.  Felt even worse by then so I called her back after I ate (I had hoped some food would help but it didn't) so she said go to labor and delivery.  We checked in, they hooked me up to monitors and did blood work.  Everything was normal so my Dr said I could take Benedryl and Zyrtec.  I took the Benedryl last night and slept so hard.  It felt so good.  This morning I took the Zyrtec.  I still have a twinge of headache but not like yesterday and I feel better knowing it's just allergy related.  Mold count is really high right now.  My blood sugar is still up and down.  I'm not sure if it's related to the additional meds I'm taking or not.  Could be just pregnancy and I need more insulin as I progress.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts don't hurt but now are itchy
• Tired
• Headache (unrelated to pregnancy thank goodness)
• Belly popping out
• Very full belly 
• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues

11 weeks...

Another interesting week.  I was going to let my mom and J's mom know we are having a baby on 7/10 or 7/11.  Then I was going to tell my friends and co-workers.  But now I'm having second thoughts.  I'm just so scared to say something and then have something happen.  Maybe I'll feel better after the doctor appointment next week.  If not then, I have another appointment with an MFM on 7/12.  J is nervous too so that's not helping.  We've come so far and my body is showing the signs of pregnancy so why am I so worried?  Is this how I'll feel till the baby's born?  I really want to enjoy this but it's so hard.  And then I had some more spotting on Thursday night.  It was only that day and has stopped.  Well, I won't be able to keep it secret for much longer with my clothes being too tight.

Symptoms I'm feeling this week:

• Sore breasts
• Larger breasts.  Two people I'm close with have noticed at work.
• Bloated.  Can't close my jeans anymore so my stomach is definitely larger
• Still nauseous at night for the most part.  And ocasionally in the daytime.
• Still tired and ready for sleep right after dinner

10 weeks...

I've hit the 10 week mark.  In 2 weeks I have my next doctor appointment and ultrasound.  I'm a nervous wreck.  Not to mention feeling ill as well.  I'm struggling to do the basics around the house but hoping that will change in the coming weeks.  We have a house to get organized before January.

Things I'm feeling this week:

• Bloated
• Exhausted
• Sore breasts
• Jeans hurt when they are closed (I need to now keep the top button opened and held together with a rubber band)
• Nausea (Happens mostly at night but starting to happen in the morning too)
