Week Fourteen
Wow! I've completely lost track of time! I've gotten a bit behind on my journal!
Things are going pretty good here at week 14. Or if you want to go by the traditional 9 months, end of month #3! I look absolutely pregnant! Not a little pooch, but more like someone who is five months along. I guess I just have nowhere for this baby to go (although he/she is still so small). I am definitely a medical wonder when it comes to 'showing'.
My tiredness has subsided this week. Hurray! I'm beginning to feel a bit normal (and large). Last night I got a bit nauseated though. I was fine until I went to bed, and then I thought I was going to lose it! I know if I had gotten anywhere near the toilet I would have thrown up (funny how the toilet has that pull for a lot of people). Instead I lay in bed breathing very deliberately so that I wouldn't get sick. It lasted about 10 minutes, but it was a record for my nausea so far.
One more story. One I can't believe I haven't told before . . . To get pregnant this last time, I was relying on Ovulation Predictor Kits. (My sleep pattern was too erratic with Chaynee to chart my temps.) Anyway, every time I would get a double line, you know the one that says you're about to ovulate, I would always do another test the next day. And I would always get another positive. I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with my compulsive testing habits. So, one morning (late morning) I took the test. I went to check my e-mail while the five minutes or so went by. I got sidetracked and totally forgot about the test. By the time I remembered (hours later) there was the double line. Well, I'm too familiar with evaporation lines to have believed the result, so I just decided to wait until the following day. What the heck! I always get two days of positive! The following day I tested again, and again went to check my e-mail to pass the time . . . I know, I know . . . Well, after a few minutes, the alarm in my bedroom went off! It was 10:45 a.m. Now, this was so weird! My alarm is easy enough to turn on (Chaynee!), but to change the time is a whole different matter. (Who needs an alarm set at 10:45 a.m.?) I decided at the time that an angel must have set that clock for me so that I would check my test. And it's a good thing; look how it turned out!
