Here’s the newest picture of the little chicken nuggie (apparently they are nicknaming her anything to do with chickens?)…She’s measuring 3 days ahead at 8 weeks and 3 days! I’m still nauseous most of the day, but as long as I don’t have an empty stomach, or smell something I don’t like, I’m doing alright. Seriously unpleasant olfactory response! I had some new plug ins for my house over the last month that I had to unplug! They were turning my stomach something fierce. I also can’t seem to stomach much, but ginger beer is a lifesaver…highly recommend to all you morning sick surro mamas out there! Also the exhaustion is no joke…could be my age? But no more shots, just switching to suppositories, and I’ve officially been discharged to my OBGYN! Woo!
My husband’s company had a Christmas party the evening of the ultrasound and we had a great time, but unfortunately I think I ate something off because I was sick really bad the next day. I am going to take it easy and rest all weekend.
After a rough day or two, I am feeling better. Back to just the normal amount of nausea from baby girl! Until about 4 days before Christmas…my middle son came home from school with nausea and vomiting. So, of course I was doing the same two days later, sigh. It ended up only hitting the two of us, thankfully, and it turned out to be the NORO virus. I missed a day of work, and we didn’t end up visiting family because my father in law wasn’t in the best health. After all that, I still had a nice quiet Christmas with my family.
We did get the nuchal translucency scan scheduled for the first week of January, along with the first OB appointment a few days after that. Then we’ll successfully be in the second trimester!
