10w6d

I’m quickly approaching 11 weeks.  Seems quite amazing sometimes.  I weighed myself this morning.  Total weight gain since the end of January:  -4.8 lbs.  Yep.  So far I’ve lost weight.  This is not unusual in the first trimester, so I’m not worried.  It’s amazing because I feel like I eat like a pig!  While I’ve been nauseas nearly every evening, I’ve only thrown up a few times (count is up to 3, 3 times in 11 weeks is not too bad).  I do snack all day though.  I eat often throughout the day.  And my pants are tighter, so something is growing. ;)   Though, I still can button my pants all the way up and not be uncomfortable.  I’m actually not complaining.  I’m trying to enjoy wearing my normal clothes while I can.  I figure that soon I’ll need the maternity clothes and will get sick of wearing the same thing over and over!

For the nausea, what works:  The sea bands seemed to help, but not totally cure it.  What really, really helps is half a dose of unisom.  This was recommended by my RE, but not my OB.  The obvious side effect to that though is drowsiness.   Since I get sick in the evening, this side effect is not too bad.  As long as I don’t try to watch tv in bed after taking it, I can stay awake.

Hey, the way I see it, awake and nauseas is worse off than feeling ok and sleepy! ;)

No argument here. And unfortunately, I’m sleepy as I respond to this, so I have no room to talk. ;)
