Last week I was a hungry hungry hippo. (One day I threw my packed lunch away and ate an entire twisted frosty from Wendy's and never knew ice cream could taste so good!!)This week... I am a hot emotional mess! It took me hours to get to work yesterday because I was lethargically tired and could not stop crying. I was crying about work, Scott's afternoon work shift, my appetite and laziness, and most of all I am still so scared I'm going to miscarry. I am having a hard time believing that we are going to have a baby in 7 months. Going through infertility for almost 3 years as well as having miscarriage makes it extremely difficult for me to think and stay positive. I just want to enjoy every second of this pregnancy and its hard when I sometimes start to feel like its all going to be taken away... I'm just anxious to see my midwife so I can talk with her and she can hopefully ease my nerves a bit. I am also use to seeing a specialist at least once a week and now that I am released from his care and my appointments are farther apart I am having a hard time reassuring myself everything is still OK. I will make it though!! With the help from Scott and my family (whom I apologize to if I'm driving you nuts!!)
On a morning sickness note- I don't think I can just get up and shower and get ready for work in the morning then worry about eating breakfast. I think I may take it slower and eat first. I'm finding that taking a shower is like running a marathon (grasping for air and all!) and I get very queasy too so time to switch it up and see if that helps.
I've learned that my uterus is the size of a grapefruit this week and the baby's eyelids and ears are growing as well as the tip of the nose and fingers and toes! The aortic and pulmonary valves of the heart are present and the tubes that lead from the throat to lungs are branching. The baby is the size of a pinto bean! Ole!
