13 weeks

Phew! It has been a while! I haven't been feeling up to being on the computer much with being nauseous and tired, so I have a lot to cover!

For some reason I thought I had updated after I told Montana, but I see I didn't! For Valentine's Day I gave her the shirt with a picture of the positive test, and she cried. She was so excited, she couldn't stop crying all night, and had a hard time breathing.

My morning sickness increased each day, to the point where I could not drink water or take pills, so at 11 weeks I got a prescription, and it worked instantly! It makes me very tired, and I'm not completely myself, but wow what a difference.

Also at 11 weeks I got to see baby!! What a relief it was to see the little heart flickering and the legs and arms moving around. I hadn't realized until that moment how worried I really was that the baby wasn't growing. However, everything is perfect! Baby is developing right on schedule, and the heart rate was 161 beats per minute. Montana was ecstatic, cried again, and carried around the sonogram all day.

At 12 weeks I started bleeding again. It was identical to the bleeding I had at 5 weeks, so I wasn't too worried but called the doctor anyway. She didn't check me, because I haven't had cramping or clots, and explained that the sac isn't filling the uterus yet, leaving room for some of the lining to come out, much like a period. She tried to find the heart beat with the doppler but baby was still too far down behind my pelvic bone.

Five days later, I saw the doctor again, and she found the heart. It was very faint, but we could hear it for sure! The rate was 152 bpm. Montana thought that was very neat.

I am now exactly 13 weeks today, and my breasts have started to leak. I first noticed it after I sneezed, but thought maybe my shirt was wet from something else. I went to the bathroom later and saw it, leaking for sure. Since then it seems every time I move some leaks out. This didn't happen with Montana until around five months, so I'm a bit surprised. Time for a nursing bra and pads!

Other than that, I've just been resting a lot, very tired from pregnancy and the pills. I don't go to the doctor again until next month. Hopefully I'll update again soon!
