006.
I finally had my first ultrasound done last week. The pictures that the sonographer took weren’t the best, because you can’t really see anything compared to how baby appeared on the ultrasound screen, but what can you do. LOL. I got to see baby move their little fingers, and I got to watch their heart beat. Apparently their heartbeat is really strong, which made me feel a lot better. Being… older, I’m more high risk and I was so afraid that baby wouldn’t be viable. I was so happy that that fear was squashed.
It’s been a bit of a journey so far, let me tell you. I don’t get morning sickness where I vomit or anything like that, but I’ve been getting headaches, and these random episodes of vertigo and just general “yuck” that seem to be triggered by certain smells. Cooking meat, eggs, and anything that has a very oily smell seem to be the worst so far. I’m a bit turned off of coffee and of cold brew, which is a bit depressing. I’ve started drinking tea, so that I don’t go into caffeine withdrawal, but I have yet to find a tea that doesn’t make me thirstier.
Apparently, everything that I’m experiencing is completely normal. My first pregnancy with my daughter, I didn’t experience any symptoms or anything with her, and I attribute that to the fact that I was working full-time graveyard shifts, running the warehouse at Walmart, slamming pallets, unloading trucks, etc. If I did experience any symptoms, they could be explained away by the work I was doing. Fatigue, all of it. But I’m getting to the point now where I’m feeling okay most of the time. I get a craving here or there, but nothing too major. I’m already getting a little pooch belly, which is both cute and annoying, because I have to take care with my pants now.
Other than that… nothing too much is going on right now. Just work, and trying to clean my house. Still working on some content for this little joint, but my laptop at home is being a prick. I might have to buy a new laptop or a small desktop to get things moving, which I am going to shop around for. Trying to make due with my work computer, but I never have enough time. Anyhow. That’s all for me right now. Updates will be coming. Not that anyone cares, or even reads this for that matter, but it gives me something to work towards.
