Finally!!

I feel another switch has been flipped, I am almost at my 12 week mark and the nausea and zombie-like feeling has gone away! I had my OB-nurse registration last week (what a waste of time for my 5th baby, 7th pregnancy) and my real OB appointment is on February 17. I have been high risk in the past, so I'm REALLY excited to hear that heart beat! Maybe I'll get my jelly bean picture, although baby should be near 3 inches by now!

I did notice today doing the dishes, that leaning against the counter was a bit uncomfortable on that hard lump. And, I am popping out much more quickly, probably for a lack of major FAT! I also have not gained any weight, AT ALL, even though I feel like I eat around the clock!

Things are going well, with new energy and motivation I have even caught up on laundry and gotten the kids back on track with their school work. I read and did math with my Kindergartener while my third grader stabbed a potato with straws for science and then practiced her Latin verbs.

Sigh, life is good! I'll keep you posted, now that I have more energy I surely will find some more awesome resources to share with you! In the meantime, feel free to share with me your Pregnancy after Weight Loss journey. I want to know how it's going, whether you have past pregnancies to compare it to like I do, or if this is your first time....I want to know! Also, if you have any questions, ask! I would be happy to research and help you in any way I can.

Blessings!
