Today makes 11 weeks. Hooray!!
And with 11 weeks, comes the end of some of the first trimester symptoms. Like nausea, which has waned significantly over the last 4 days. Now, instead of noon, afternoon and evening sickness, I only have right-before-bed sickness. A good trend, and hopefully it will continue into remember-when-I had-sickness? sickness.
And my chronic fatigue seems to have lifted a bit too. Granted, I still sleep an obscene amount of hours at night (punctuated by several bathroom breaks), but during the day, I actually am starting to feel alert. Not drugged.
Which on the surface would seem to be a good thing, right? Go out, enjoy the summer and all that.
BUT.
But I can't. Because I am still on take-it-easy rest. So while my body is telling me, "Let's go take a walk! It is so lovely outside today, and we've been cooped up forEVER!" I can't do it. No walking, no exercise.
Yesterday, I actually caught myself twiddling my thumbs. Seriously. That is how bored and antsy I've become. Resorting to cliche ways to express my boredom.
We go in for another u/s at the OB tomorrow. My spotting has really lessened this week, although it is not gone altogether. It seems to only happen (WARNING: TMI about to happen!!) with BMs. I poop, a little brown-ish mucous-y spotting, then nothing. So hopefully I'll get some good news tomorrow.
Fingers, when not twiddling, are crossed.

I don't even know how you are doing this. I have been cooped up on and off for a couple of weeks and I am so sick of bed. I am crossing everything that you get some good news tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYay for 11 weeks.
Keeping my fingers crossed as well, but it sounds like things are going remarkably well - and I couldn't be happier for you.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your appointment tomorrow!
I'm twiddling my thumbs along with you. Bed rest is boring.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you've gotten antsy. Hope you can get out and enjoy the warm weather soon!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do it. Well, you know what I mean--like you, I'd do ANYTHING it took--but I do sympathize with your lack of movement. Bor-ring. Maybe they'll give you permission to get moving soon!
ReplyDeleteYay, so glad you've hit the 11-week milestone and that the yucky symptoms are abating. Hope your appointment goes okay today and that you can be cleared for more activity soon!
