Halfway There!

Holy cow, how did this happen? It seems like I just got my BFP and was counting the days until I would be in my second trimester! I am so grateful to be at this point. I am still in shock.

This past week was another bad week, health wise. I woke up Monday with a sore throat, but Tuesday I felt better so I thought it was drainage or something. Then Wednesday I woke up with nausea and horrible (sorry, TMI) diarrhea. Turns out the flu was going around my classroom. I went to see my PCP Wednesday and she all she could prescribe was Gatorade and rest. She said it was okay to not eat for a day as long as I stayed hydrated. She also wanted me to give a stool sample because of the diarrhea. That was um, fun. Not. Obviously I stayed home from school Wednesday. Thursday I woke up starving so I knew my stomach was feeling better. I went to school but the more I moved around the more congested and sluggish I got. By 10 a.m. I was barely moving. I somehow survived the day, but I stayed home again Friday to rest. I spent Friday and most of Saturday in a snotty, sneezy, daze. Yesterday and today I finally started to feel normal again. I hope I'm done with sickness for awhile!

Other than the sickness, things are going well. My gallbladder pain has eased a bit, and I'm feeling the baby move like crazy. It is so reassuring to feel those little twitches, although I can tell she is already sitting on my bladder. That will be fun as she gets heavier. Keep growing, baby girl, we hope to see you in about 20 more weeks!

Half-baked!
