Feeling better...

Wow, it seems like so long since I’ve posted anything, but it’s only been two days!  I guess time does not fly when you are anxiously waiting for another opportunity to know for sure that your baby is still growing.  I still have12 more days until my 2^nd prenatal visit.  I am pretty excited because I’ve never had an appointment with Dr. H where he was not giving me bad news.  That should be interesting.  As kind and caring as he has been throughout all our troubles, I have still always gotten the subtle impression that he is a lot more interested in healthy pregnant women (as opposed to malfunctioning ones).

Anyway, I’m almost 12 weeks so that means the baby is about the size of a lime.  A LIME!  I can’t believe that something the size of a lime could be squirming around in my womb and I can’t even feel it!  Womb is such a weird word.  It’s a little close to “tomb” – don’t you think?  Dang, a little too close!  Wish I wouldn’t have brought that up…  Anyway, baby center’s week 13 food comparison is… a medium shrimp!  How do you go from a lime to a shrimp?  That just doesn’t make any sense.  Either way, I am happier thinking about limes and shrimps than about figs and kumquats.  Could they have come up with something a little more obscure?  I think not.

I have been feeling a little better this week.  My skin is clearing up, so that is really nice.  I haven’t had any morning sickness since Sunday.  I felt a little dizzy Monday morning but that is about it.  The girls are still a tiny bit sore and itchy but not too bad, it almost seems like they are resting up for another growth spurt.  If they are I will definitely have to go bra shopping soon.  I am still pretty tired but that could be partly because I just haven’t been sleeping enough.  Yesterday I played (horribly) in my golf league for the first time this year.  I got a cart but I am not sure I will do that again for awhile.  I think getting in and out of the cart seriously hurts my game.  So does getting tired at the end of a round, but I think the cart was worse.  So here’s hoping that next week I’m just FULL of energy!
