Unfortunately, the morning sickness and nausea continues to dominate my daily life. And I had my first prenatal appointment with my doctor last week, which went really well!
I was very glad that Kevin came with me to this first appointment, because we just happened to be able to get an ultrasound that same day. Originally they were going to schedule one for another day, but someone had cancelled right after our appointment, so we got to stay a little longer and see out little one together for the first time.
For some reason, I wasn't expecting to see something that looks so much like a little baby already. I guess I didn't know what to expect. But when they showed Baby Mertz for the first time, she/he was moving around so much! I could not believe it! I can't even feel it! I was surprised I didn't cry, but it was probably because I could barely look away from the screen. It was so incredible to see the little person flipping around in there!
While at the doctor, I was prescribed some medicine to help with my nausea, but after a few days of trying it, I actually felt worse. I felt more sick, threw up more, felt more drained, and I just felt weird, so I stopped taking it and I feel sort of better, but I've still been sick the usual amount. But, we're getting close to the end of the first trimester, and then things should settle down (hopefully.)
Aside from that, things are going alright. We're still trying to get everything in line for our home loan so we can be moving in March. I got a temporary promotion to cover for a friend at work while she is on maternity leave (she could pop any day now lol.) working at the front desk. I'm quite excited for that because it will be less stressful and intense and I think it will help me to maybe start feeling a bit better, as well at get to know everyone's names better at work. It reminds me again why I love working where I do, even when I'm sick, because the people I work with are the best. So far, training for it has been quite fun!
I was suppose to have a follow up appointment today about my blood work and tests, but because we were hit with a ton of snow, my appointment had to be rescheduled to Monday, so hopefully I'll have some great news Monday also! The doctor said that if you don't hear from us about your tests, then they were good. And I haven't heard from them other than to reschedule my appointment, so I'm guessing that a good sign!
That's all I can think of to update right now! Thanks for reading!
