A day late, and a dollar short! I remembered late last night that I hadn't made my update, but my brain was already fried and I was exhausted so I pushed it to today. I'm still fried and exhausted, but I'm gonna push it!
Had my doctor's appointment yesterday, took the girls by myself because all of my help is gone! My double stroller doesn't fit through ANY freakin doorways, so I loaded each kid into her umbrella stroller and looked like a dumbass trying to push them both at the same time, get them in the door, and lug my purse and diaper bag in too... but we're alive! The girls were not good during the appointment, Allison wouldn't let me put her down, they kept whining, then when I was trying to actually talk to the doctor about my concerns they started crying... it was a cluster fuck! I got to the car, got everyone loaded up, and almost started crying when I realized that I had forgotten to ask him to check my ear because I feel like I'm getting an ear infection! The most important thing, and I didn't even get it looked at! I guess I'm just waiting to see if it'll go away by itself, otherwise I have no idea what to do.
I asked him about the cyst, he said it's pretty normal during pregnancy, and even the size of it isn't that big of a deal. If it were like 10cm maybe they'd look at it, but otherwise it's probably a corpus luteum cyst that's there to maintain pregnancy, and he's not worried. Phew! I asked about this summer and it's effects on my blood pressure, he said we'll just wait and see but my blood pressure is fine now and it was fine during my pregnancy with the girls, so it shouldn't be too big of an issue hopefully.
We scheduled my NT Scan for March 6th, and I'm going to try my hardest to get the tech to guess the gender, even though I know it's early they do say that a really experienced tech can give you a pretty accurate guess! I'll probably get one that won't guess though, just so they don't get in trouble if it is wrong... I'm so impatient!
I was really sick the other night, and ended up losing my dinner and my prenatal vitamins. The next day I felt really good!! I attributed this to the fact that I didn't take my prenatal (technically) but after asking the doctor about it, he said go ahead and not take it if it's making me that sick, so I haven't been taking it, and am still pretty sick... I think I'm gonna go get some flintstones vitamins or something, because I feel guilty not taking anything.
And I've also lost 3lbs so far, which isn't that much, but at least it isn't gaining too much! I think by this time in my pregnancy with the girls I probably had gained about 5lbs, so it's a little different.
A snapshot of 10 weeks:
Symptoms - Still pretty sick! By the time 4pm rolls around I'm falling asleep on the couch, which is harder to do than it sounds when as soon as I fall asleep I have little fingers poking me in the eyes and up my nose waking me back up... my boobs are a lot more sore this time, every day they hurt! I'm just counting down the days until 2nd trimester and hoping I feel better!
Food cravings - Nothing yet!
Size of baby - A bitty prune! Baby is pretty well developed now, and is going to start growing and filling out and moving all around! I can't wait to see all the movement at my ultrasound, the girls were moving away at that time and it was so awesome to see even if you can't feel it!
I think I also previously mentioned trying to find the heartbeat around 10 weeks, but I've come to the conclusion that my $20 doppler is probably not well suited for such early detection, especially when they couldn't find the heartbeat at the doctors office with a much better one. I'll probably wait until 11 weeks, because that's how far I was with the girls, but if I can't even find it then I'm not going to worry, I know bitty bean is just fine!
