It's Starting!

The part of the pregnancy when you start to get uncomfortable...well I have 11 more weeks of it. I haven't been feeling good at all this week. Completely exhausted, nauseous, Braxton Hicks contractions, and this tingling/burning on the left side of my rib cage that my doctor has explained as the nerves stretching and my body "widening." Lovely, my body is getting wide. Might want to consider putting wide load across butt to warn other pedestrians.

The iron pills my doctor prescribed are making nauseous and constipated. So, now instead of taking 2 vitamins every night before bed I am taking 2 prescription vitamins, 1 calcium, and 2 Fibercon followed my the 8 oz. of liquid the FiberCon box says to drink. The nice ladies at my pharmacy were kind enough to give me one of those 'Monday through Friday' pill boxes that old people and hypochondriacs use. So now every Sunday I can sit at my coffee table and sort through all my meds!

As for the BH contractions, they are slightly more uncomfortable than I would have expected. I went to bed at 8 o'clock the other night because I was feeling so much pressure. This was of course after the dietary Nazi, Jason approved my meal choice of oatmeal for dinner. If he thinks this baby needs such healthy meals he can get home and cook them for her! I rolled around in bed and moaned and groaned all night and could not get comfortable. I am also getting tired of tasting all my meals 3 times. All this indigestion and burping up the fajitas I ate three days ago is getting really old and disgusting.

Jason and I have an appointment to interview our potential pediatrician in the morning. I need to work on a list of questions for her. I will update my blog tomorrow after we meet her.
