Today Bubble is 18 weeks. I had my regular obstetrician appointment today and all went well. My bp is good and he is happy with my progress. He also let me have another look at Bubble. It's amazing how much it has grown since last month! I could see the different facial features - eyes, nose, mouth, even the skull at times. I was able to hear Bubble's heartbeat which was very strong and good. Its arms are heaps longer than the first ultrasound and it was moving around so much! I can't wait for next week when we go for the ultrasound and get different pictures. That was the good.
The bad was that I have had a tummy ache for around 6 hours. Not very fun. Lying very still made it feel better at times, but then it would start to hurt again. I was thinking it was sore because I hadn't eaten since lunchtime and I'm supposed to be snacking so when it came to dinner, even though I didn't want to eat, I did. It was kinda like the first few months - forcing myself to eat because I knew I should.
The ugly was when brushing my teeth. The brushing part was fine, but straight after, my tummy ache led to me being sick, repeatedly. Fortunately I was over the sink already so it was all contained but it sure wasn't fun! I haven't been sick since I was in primary school (atleast I think that was the last time). I don't cope well with being sick. Fortunately I had prepped James about that fact so he was amazing tonight! Tears, shakes and all, he was there holding me, getting me water and looking after me. I scored well with him. The worse part though was that I clogged up the sink so James is on a mission to get some drain clearer so that the ugly can go away.
I am praying that I don't get sick again! I really hope that I don't. I think it was some yoghurt that I ate but I'm not sure. I hope that Bubble is ok too. I now need to convince my brain that I have finished and that I am ok now so my body can relax and sleep well tonight. Hopefully my brain and body both agree with that.
What a yucky night! :-(
