For the first time since all the nausea started approx. 8 weeks ago, I FEEL HUMAN!
I'm still a teensy touch queasy, and talking about it makes it flare up, but overall it is leaps and bounds better today! I woke up feeling a bit puky, chatted to Kari for an hour or so on the phone, and by the time we hung up I was already doing better. I gagged once today, but all it produced was an acidic bubble. I ate an entire meal for lunch, and it tasted good! And has stayed down w/no nausea!! Yay for baby producing its own hormones via the placenta! I figure another week or so, I should be out of the worst of it. WOO!
Also, today I am 10 weeks along. This is a big week, because I'm finally moving out of the miscarriage danger zone and will be able to hear baby's heartbeat on doppler (if we have another ultrasound soon, otherwise it will wait until 16 weeks or so). My next prenatal is Thursday, where I'll get the whole pelvic exam done. Feet in stirrups and poking and prodding at my uterus and all that fun stuff, whee. Might ask for a doppler anyway, just because I can.
For the first time in 2 months, I think maybe I will survive this whole shebang. It's definitely easier to have a positive outlook when you're not miserable w/hormones. :D
