Finally coming up for air

Ugh, I have been so sick. It was partially because of the UTI but mostly I think the medicine for it was what was making me so sick. By Sunday I couldn’t even keep any food down let alone the meds. I didn’t think this was morning sickness because it was way worse. Sure enough, when I stopped taking the medicine I started feeling better. I called the midwife this morning and she gave me the go ahead to stop taking it despite the fact I had 3 days left. I have missed 5 day of work because of this! I’m so happy to be feeling better!

I can feel my uterus in my abdomen. It is like a hard ball about 2 inches above my pubic bone. I spend some time every day in stillness to try to feel my baby. I know it is very early for this but I want to be aware so I can feel it when the time comes. My 2nd trimester begins this Friday, which is also my 33rd birthday! So happy to be pregnant on my birthday!
