My morning sickness returned over the weekend, along with a headache. I'm also losing my mind apparently. I keep on forgetting things. Like which day is trash day and to actually turn on the microwave after I put my food in it. True story. Turns out "pregnancy brain" is not a myth. What to Expect says I can blame it on hormones and later, in the third trimester, on a decrease in my brain-cell volume. Something to look forward to...
I'm hoping to start back up on prenatal vitamins this week and see if I can keep them down. My midwife had me switch to a gummy multivitamin (aka fruit snack impostor) a month ago because it turns out that the prenatal vitamin doesn't help too much if you immediately throw it back up. I'm still losing weight at this point; I've lost a total of 14 pounds. I really want to be able to eat normally again! And I'm tired of my hair falling out! Don't worry, I don't have any bald spots yet, and my hair is pretty thick to start with... but I was looking forward to awesome pregnancy hair -- not the opposite!
My next appointment is in two weeks. I really procrastinated on scheduling it, but I still got an early morning appointment like I was hoping for. Parking in the afternoon is kind of a nightmare there.
Baby Wiggles is about the size of an orange this week and has legs that are longer than their arms. The Bump also tells me that all four of Baby Wiggles' limbs now have functioning joints.
You are so cute Kels! I wish we could be hanging out! :)
