15 weeks


Ok, so I'm still not really showing but I'm "thickening" up a little in the right area :) The nausea has reared it's ugly head again...another puke Monday, first time in 5 weeks, but I was trying to wean myself off the nausea pills....probably will wait to try that again for a few weeks. For the most part the narcolepsy has subsided. I can still "nap" for 2 hours with the best of them, but the constant need for sleep has lessened. I still want nectarines by the ton! They are so tart and sweet and YUMMY, can't get enough. And to Scott's delite, I've started cooking regularly again...no meat, but it's a start.

14 weeks!!


I am really showing now!!! :) not so much really, but more than 12 weeks. And I kind of skipped last weeks picture, oops, but now there is a real difference. I'm actually still wearing most all my clothes still, but they are getting a little tighter around the waist :)

Food overall is much more appetizing. I am loving hot dogs with green relish! Don't you worry I found the organic all-beef dogs at Whole Foods :) I don't think I've eaten a hot dog since I was in high school or before, but now, now I've eaten enough to make up for the last 10 years :) Veggies finally taste great again, and I'm still eating nectarines by the dozen...at least 3-4 a day! Most all of the queasiness is gone...I still feel pretty bad in the evenings, but I haven't thrown up in 4 weeks so I must be past that! THANK GOD!!! I still dry heave, but what the heck, I wouldn't feel normal these days if THAT didn't happen. And good news, I can eat meat! Well sort of...ground beef is great if it's not cooked around me....steak is still not so great :) The smell is still disgusting when it's cooking. Pork chops are pretty good tasting but not so good smelling...on the 4th of July we spent the evening lighting fireworks with Klacie, (9 mo. pregnant)Kelly, and Jason (our neighbors) and they grilled pork chops. They smelled terrible, but Scott was so cute and cut them up for me and fed me pieces with BBQ sauce...so sweet :)

13 weeks, first ultrasound!




This is one of the pictures we got today at the ultrasound of our little bun :) How cute right?! It's a 3D picture! I love how it's hiding it's little face :) You can see it's leg is stretched out too...pretty amazing!

This second pic it scrunched up it's leg and arm as if to hide from us :)

And the third picture was just the normal ultrasound picture of it's little profile. It's in there sort of chillin' with it's hand rested on it's side :)

Kind of crazy...there it is, Baby Salo, our little Small Salo, our Bun in the oven :)

Our ultrasound was this morning and everything looks good. Nothing came up that is of any concern and everything was normal. I recorded the heartbeat too this time...such a cool sound. Both of us teared up again...it's just such a little miracle. Looks like I'm pretty good at growing a human! I'll add another belly picture tomorrow. We were gone over the weekend at Scott's 20 year high school reunion up in Great Falls Montana...we had a good time...so I didn't get one added right on the 13 week mark, but we're close enough.

12 Weeks and feeling much better!


I can't believe I'm 12 weeks already! I'm still taking the no-puke pill and drinking the mona vie juice, I don't really care what's working but I haven't puked in 2 weeks! I'm feeling much more like myself lately.
I took my first belly pic today...ok so I'm not showing that much...just a little. The book says that our little somethin' somethin' is the size of a plum or large lime, more fruit references. It also said that all of it's systems are developed and just need to mature now...kindof crazy that my body knows how to make a human, but I don't really have a clue :)
