Week 12

Here I am at 12 weeks! I'm still feeling nauseous and not really liking food too much, particularly pizza and meat...blech! A few things I can't get enough of are Cool Ranch Doritos, milk and bagels (or any bread, for that matter).

My back has been bothering me quite a bit, and the headaches have continued at night. I get the hiccups all the time too!

I think I felt the Baby K move this week, though! We were sitting on the deck, enjoying a nice fall evening when I felt a strange little sensation in my belly. I sat really still for a few more minutes and felt it one more time.

All in all, things are going pretty well. I'm really just ready to be nausea-free, but it's definitely better than it was several weeks ago so I can't complain too much!

Week 12-Doctor's Appt. #2

Today I had a prenatal appointment. Besides the very long wait at the office, things went well. I have lost weight (as I suspected) due to the nausea and food aversions. I'm hoping that, since I'm just about into the 2nd trimester, all of that loveliness will be soon making its exit!

I also got to hear Baby K's heartbeat and it was strong as could be! Overall, things looked great. I will go back in a month, when I'm about 17 weeks.

Week 12-Doctor's Appt. #1

Today I saw my sweet urologist, Dr. Ramsey. He provided me with some much-needed relief...after hearing about the recurrent bladder infections I'm getting, he decided to put me on a low dose of an antibiotic for a month (and possibly the remainder of my pregnancy). I am prone to bladder and kidney infections, and since kidney infections and kidney stones can be dangerous to the baby, he figured an antibiotic was the way to go. I'm going to try it out for a month to see if it helps keep the infections away. If it does, I'll stay on it until the baby comes.

Tomorrow, I have doctor's appt. #2 for my next prenatal check-up. I'll keep you posted!
