10w2d update

Yesterday, for the first time in about 4 weeks I did not have to inject myself in the backside. It felt like a treat if I am going to be honest. The actual injection does not bother me, but I was running out of space to do them in the target area that did not have some resistance as I was pushing in the meds. I could also almost guarantee that it would bleed a bit after as well. Since I have done my meds today now, I officially have 2 injections left! I will be completely done next Saturday with the remaining medications! I was warned it may be a, say, trying time emotions wise so I am doing my best to take a breath before I say anything if I am feeling less than happy. I would lie if I said they don't affect me in any way - and that would not be beneficial to anyone reading this and truly wondering how it is going. It is hard, but it isn't impossible. I just take the medications one day at a time and try to stay focused on why I need them right now. I do hope once I am done, some of the nausea will ease up and I will gain a little more energy back. I think the lack of energy has been the hardest for me. I do not feel like cooking once dinner time hits - and I feel so guilty over that. It is a combination of being tired and nausea creeping up hard on me. I actually looked at doing Let's Dish again to get us through a week and the cost was just too much to justify. We are making it work though and soon enough I will be back to enjoying cooking dinner again!

Starbucks has been my saving grace once again. Maybe not for my wallet but for my nausea - and in the end that is all that matters! I do not know what it is or why, but sipping on my (decaf) frapp just seems to make everything right for a while. I have not run into any issues getting my drink made correctly, for the record. So no more tears in Starbucks ;)

I am not having issues going into the fridge - that as an issue with all 3 of my own. However, I can not stand the smell of the over preheating. We will get past this too.

I scheduled my 12 week appointment and NT scan, and my 20 week just to get those on the schedule. Crazy to think we are at a point to schedule the 20 week! It is SO exciting though.

If you see me wearing the same pair of sweatpants - I'm trying. I have reached a point where I don't necessarily look pregnant, but some of the bloating from meds is still there and everything else just feels too tight and makes me feel nauseated. I did order 2 pair today in different colors - I figured they will be handy now and this fall again if not before baby arrives, after s/he does.

We are moving along and it feels good. I am so excited to meet my IPs in person in the next few weeks as well! While this all seems like so much to me with the nausea, exhaustion, ect going on - I can't imagine what it is like for them. I do try and not complain much about stuff (except maybe this entire post feels like a complaint - sorry - I was hoping it came across more of just "hey these are the current facts") since it is what it is.

I think that is all I have for the moment!
Until next time ...
