This was actually a rush ultrasound. A week prior I had experienced some bleeding and we were advised to prepare for the fetus to be expelled. Yeah. Not nice news. So for a week I kept having to give blood in the city while my doctor monitored my hormone levels. All seemed ok, so we were sent for an emergency ultrasound, where this little body was so active! Twisting and turning, punching, kicking, that was pretty amazing. Results came back all ok - whew!
Honestly, I was surprised at how saddened I was at the thought of this baby not making it - even though I can't really feel it. We could easily try again, but still I was shocked at how sad I was, we both were.
So far the second trimester is kinda boring. I can feel butterfly wings in my lower belly occasionally, but more than anything I feel like a bloated parade balloon full of foul smelling gas - ew. Oh, and breathlessness. EVERYTHING makes me breathless. Washing my hair makes me gasp for air, not to mention merely walking! Oh, and facial hair kicks it up about 100 notches. Not only is there more than the odd thick dark hair - its becoming patches! GAWD. Pregnancy sexy? If only you don't look too close! Sheesh.
I guess the only bizarrio craving I had was at 10pm for fish and chips (not something I normally care for). Otherwise, I eat the same things as I always have, though papaya is very appealing. Hm. Papaya would be good right now actually. Maybe Sean can pick one up for me...
We'll keep you posted! Lets all hope that one of our trucks sell, so we can continue renovating the basement! :)
