I Create Another Day

Daring to Move Again

Well, that “other nutrition plan” that I mentioned a couple of entries back (or maybe it was just the last one?  I don’t know?) was my looking to create a healthy eating plan for pregnancy.

So, I don’t know what I’m going to do with this space for the next 9 months.  My ob/gyn has approved my running after another week or so, because I had some bleeding that we want to see gone for good, so I hope to get back into that.

I haven’t been eating super well, but haven’t been out of control either. 

I haven’t moved much because I’ve been exhausted in that way that you can only be in the first trimester of a pregnancy.

Today begins my 5/7th week (lunar month vs. lnmp month) and I have an ultrasound scheduled for Monday to see if we can see a heartbeat.

Again, I’m just tired right now, and not feeling too sick, knock on wood.  I’ve had a little bit of nausea here and there, and yesterday just officially gagged myself with my toothbrush for the first time. (This was a huge problem during my pregnancy with Jessica.)

Boobs hurt?  Check.  Fatigue?  Check.  Hormonal?  Ehhhhh, not so bad.  I always said that my favourite part about being pregnant with Jessica was how much pregnancy mellowed me out.  Well, this time, not so much, so I’m convinced I’m having a boy.

It hasn’t been too bad, but I’ve had a couple of moments.

Other than that, things are good so far.  I’m just hoping for a good ultrasound on Monday because that will drop my chances of miscarriage from 20-25% down to 3%.

So, that’s what’s going on with me.
