It has been an uneventful couple of days, for which I am most grateful.  Nausea is definitely easing, which, as I creep up on 11 weeks, doesn’t freak me out too much.  Especially since heartburn/loss of appetite has totally taken its place.  Yesterday was a no-spotting day, and I feel like I should go release [...]

OK, sublingual B12 – even when (especialy when?) flavored with raspberry, ginger, etc. – is disgusting.  Gaggingly disgusting.  Bleccchhhhh! Tums, on the other hand – I can now understand the love.  That stuff might be chalky, but it’s not too nasty, and it actually, um, works.  I am a convert.  Tums is my friend, and [...]

All is well, save that it took two hours in the waiting room before I could get in for my 15 minute ultrasound.  And three sticks before they could draw blood.  And he tried to find heartbeats with a doppler first – nothing.  Then he did an external ultrasound – no movement. Then I had [...]

Kumquatkumquatkumquatkumquat. Still suffering with this headache from hell, still feeling blechy from about noon, on.  Still spotting [...]

10 weeks, 2 days.  Midwife appointment is tomorrow.  With any luck we’ll hear the heartbeat right away so I can have at least a few hours of peace and joy before I settle back in to abject terror. Sad to say that the Crazy has me so far in its grip I don’t even feel [...]

And that’s surely something to celebrate!  With a lack of needles, perhaps!  Woohoo!! PIO is over!  WOOHOO!!! Of course, now I get to watch & wait to see if all my remaining symptoms evaporate.  The doppler should be arriving today or tomorrow or Thursday, and I’m really looking forward to that.  (Duh).  Hoping – oh [...]
