Around 7 weeks my morning sickness started to get pretty intense. I expected it since I was throwing up for 6-7 weeks straight with my first pregnancy. Then around 9 weeks it got really bad. My doctor put me on Unisom at night and B6 25mg 3x a day which helped a lot! I was down about 4-6 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight but got on the scale yesterday and had gained my weight back. So I am finally back at the weight I was before I got pregnant. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before I start packing on more pounds! Even though I haven't technically gained a pound since the start of this pregnancy I have gained a belly! None of my jeans fit me anymore. I am wearing leggings, sweatpants, or maternity pants. I guess it is true what they say - you start to show sooner with the second pregnancy.
I had my iron checked and it was above normal levels! That was great news since I was very anemic with my first pregnancy. Last week I had some bloodwork done at which time they checked my blood sugar. I will get those results tomorrow at my OB appt. I will hopefully get another ultrasound to confirm my due date. So here I am 10 weeks in, 30 to go....I am hoping it goes by fast but at the same time I am glad I have time to get things in order. I know it is still early but I've been thinking about everything baby. Carseats, strollers, breastfeeding, sleepless nights, wondering about the sex of the baby....
Matt and I have decided on baby names for a boy or a girl. I have told family and a couple friends but I am not going to reveal thosse names until we find out the sex for sure. Wyatt is still convinced that there is no baby in my belly and that our baby is coming from Walmart LOL.
