Week 10

Okay, so I know I skipped week 9 and it is just about the end of week 10. Oops! Well things are finally starting to get better. I was given Zofran by my doctor (a different dosage from before). For those of you who don't know, Zofran is given to cancer patients during their chemotherapy, so this is some strong stuff. They don't like to prescribe it to pregnant women but do it when it is absolutely necessary. Well trust me it was!! This past week I was able to go to the gym 3 times this week and run about a mile and 1/2 each time. I feel great! Although today I did get a headache (side affect of the Zofran), it is much better than praying to the porcelain God all day. Tomorrow is a HUGE day for us, we finally get to go to the doctor to check on Mason baby # 2!!! We are soooo excited. Thankfully, E.J. has the day off so we are going together. I just can't wait to hear that heartbeat, what an amazing sound.



As far as gender, I have a feeling it is another girl. E.J. wants another girl, so we shall see. I have a friend who owns a ultrasound business here in town, so she said she will perform one on me at 16 weeks, four weeks early than the OB ultrasound!



We are working with Kamryn on being soft and gentle, so she isn't whacking the baby when he or she comes. She has been kissing my stomach, obviously she doesn't know there is a baby in there though. She is going to be a GREAT big sister!



I am getting a little pooch. I knew I would start showing early than last time, but geez!!! I can still fit in my jeans, thank goodness! E.J. says it is just because I was so skinny...let's hope he is right. Although, it is nice because it makes it feel more real. Anyway, just a little update...I will post more information after our dr. appt tomorrow.

What I'm looking forward to: going to the dr. tomorrow to see and hear our baby!!!

8 weeks

So week 8 is pretty much the same as week 7. Still feeling pretty sick. Although, I am now taking Zofran 3 times a day, which has been helping. Exhaustion is still here, alive and well. I am still working out. I try to run at least 3-4 times a week. If I don't run then I at least get out there and walk a mile. I am still keeping the exercise routine a little low key, considering my calorie intake has been low.

I have not gained any weight!! YAY, but it sure looks like I have. Bloat, gasiness and carrying water weight has definitely made me look more pregnant this time around. When I was 8 weeks along with Kamryn, unless I told them there was no way you would know that I was pregnant. The pregnancy belly is making an early appearance. :) Anyway, not much else to report.
