Wohooo! I'm done with the first trimester. So, I'm hoping that the nausea would go away completely pretty soon! I noticed that I don't have it as bad as it used to be. I only get sick when my stomach is empty. I don't like my chips anymore and other salty stuffs. I am not a chocoholic either but since I like sweets this time, I tried some chocos but the regular/dark ones are too bitter for me so I got me some white Toblerone, yipee! LOL. The white chocolates are all I need, wahaha!
I had my 2nd OB-GYN routine appointment this week (yesterday) and so far everything's fine. Baby's heartbeat is 158 this time. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound on my next appointment but I'm still thinking if I wanna know the baby's gender or not. Hubby wants to know but they said they can tell him and not me. I really don't know yet. I'm going to think about it for a month, lol! The doctor gave me some new prenatal vitamin samples to see which ones I like. Out of the 3, the first one I've tried last night was pretty good and didn't make me sick or anything. I wanna try the other 2 first before I'll decide.
This week, has been like a roller coaster ride for me. There are times that I am extremely happy and there are times that I'd cry myself to sleep as well. Nobody's hurting me but me I guess. I get just about any crazy ideas in my head. I try to check every part of my body for any discoloration or something weird that might give me a clue if it's going to be another boy or a girl. Sometimes, I get some clues that seemed so positive to me but when I tell someone about it, they tell me it's the opposite. Those times make me wanna cry. I envy other women, who seemed to be so sure what they're having even before the ultrasound. I have no assurance if this time, I'd get what I'm longing for or not but I do pray that I'd be strong enough to accept what it is that Heavenly Father has prepared for me. No matter what, I'd still love this baby like the other 2 more than anything else in this world.
How's my baby growing:
Head to bottom, your baby's 3 1/2 inches long — about the length of a lemon — and weighs about 1 1/2 ounces. Her body's growing faster than her head, which now sits upon a more well-defined neck. By the end of this week, her arms will have lengthened and will be in proportion to the rest of her body. (Her legs still have some growing to do, though.) She's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair all over her body (called lanugo). Her liver starts secreting bile this week, a sign that it's already functioning properly, and her spleen starts contributing to the production of red blood cells. She's also producing and discharging urine into the amniotic fluid, a normal process that she'll keep up until birth. You still can't feel your baby's movements, but her hands and feet (which are now half an inch long) are more flexible and active. Thanks to brain impulses, her little facial muscles are getting a workout as she squints, frowns, and grimaces. She can grasp now, too, and she may be able to suck her thumb.
