Sept 25: 12 weeks 3 days

 
Wow, closing in on the completion of the first trimester! Awesome!
As of today I am feeling better. I didn’t puke today, but I am not sure that really says a lot. Particularly since I puked yesterday and a single data point says nothing. But the all day nausea and urky feeling is nearing gone. The metal mouth is pretty well gone as well as the extreme after tastes. And much to my relief, the fatigue is lifting. The fatigue has really been killing me, but I don’t feel the need to nap lately.
We have told all our family – or at least all the family that probably cares. And starting to tell the general public on an as needed basis. Like the other day one of my coworkers was trying to get me to come down to the lab to see and smell how it was going. We had a large chemical/fire event thing last February and the lab is FINALLY getting cleaned out. But he proclaimed, “it still stinks some”. I told him that I can’t come down until the chemical smell is gone, completely. He was perplexed as I had been in there a number of times in the last 8 months. I finally gave it up and told him I am pregnant. Talk about surprise!
I have my 12 week appointment tomorrow morning. Thank goodness. I have one major concern – I think I am getting a uterine prolapse. Anyways, ugh. Don’t need to talk anymore about that and I will wait and see what he has to say tomorrow. I called last week and they told me no lifting or straining and to spend as much time as I can with my feet up. Working on that… not sure how effectively.
Food – my hate hate relationship with food might be improving. I might be willing to cook some actual dinner again someday… maybe even in time for my book club on Oct 12!
