I'm doing well. I didn't end up getting sick this weekend, so I'm hoping to be dodging that bullet this time around. The heart burn is still hanging around, but Tums seem to help. We are taking our daughter to Disney World next week (one big family trip while it's still just the 3 of us) and I'm hoping my luck holds out and I don't get sick there. Hoping not to be the first person ever to get sick on the Dumbo flying elephants ride.

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a tough time being sick and tired all the time. The second trimester is usually better, so hang on! That stinks your first appt is so far away. I have an ultrasound on Thursday this week, first thing in the morning. Really excited about it. I will have the actual appointment with the midwife on the 13th, after we get back from FL. In good news, the longer you wait for your ultrasound, the more likely your baby will look human. Mine probably won't this time. A book I have that I really like is "Your Pregnancy Week by Week." It has pics of the baby for each week and gives good info about size and stuff. Maybe getting that and looking at the pics each week will help get you to your ultrasound. Hope you start feeling better soon! Take care of yourself!

Take care f yourself and that little one!View Thread


But it is still exciting! If your cramping gets too bad, be sure to check in with your doctor.I'm doing pretty well for now. Battling a bit of nausea and heart burn. With my daughter, I got crazy sick around 6 weeks and it lasted until 12 weeks, so I'm crossing my fingers that I don't start getting super sick this weekend. For now, I'm pretty ok. I've found that sucking on peppermint drops that contain actual peppermint oil helps with the nausea a bit. Hope you get to feeling better and sleeping more very soon!View Thread
