Tomorrow begins Week 16. I learned today baby is aobut 4 inches long and weighs about 2 oz, about the size of an apple. I'm having a few new symptoms and some of the old ones are sticking around. New ones are morning time stuffiness, leg cramps, and extreme breast pain, especially my left one. Old ones that seem to still be here are frequent urination (as in, you can set a clock to my potty breaks!), fatigue and moodiness. I'm trying to battle the moodiness best I can. Poor Chuck is getting the brunt of it and I always come back and realize I've been mean, but I just can't stop myself at the time. He just looks at me and says "ok, honey, it's the baby talking" and walks off. Thank goodness he understands, most days! My biggest worry at the moment is I'm not hungry and when I do eat, I don't want to and nothing tastes good, so I eat very little. I am trying to eat but it tastes so bad, I can't. I weighed at work Friday, and compared to my first weight on April 1, I've lost approximately 15 pounds.
I received a new book (Your Pregnancy Week to Week) and some pamphlets today from a maternity service I get through my insurance and learned what actual amounts of the food groups I should be eating at this point and I'm coming no where close to what I should. I am making a conscious effort, effective today, to eat right, including Chuck sat down and wrote out a grocery list of items to buy for me. He's become concerned and is going to start monitoring my intake from here on out. If anyone has any ideas of how I can work on this, please help.
I go to the doctor on Tuesday Jun 9 so I will post on Tuesday with my updates.
