Baby's progress

Yesterday my doctor's appointment went well. I am currently 10 weeks & 2 days while the baby was measuring approximately 10 weeks & 5 days give or take a few days. The baby even danced again. The gestational bleed has stabilized but the office is keeping me on bedrest/light activity. That means resting on a sofa, chair or bed with the exception of taking showers, going to the bathroom & popping something in the microwave. They don't want me walking 15 minutes around Walmart or doing dishes/laundry/childcare. This also means I can go somewhere as long I walk to a seat, sit down & do not walk for long periods of time.

Unfortunately this also means I have to wait to go shopping for some badly needed pants since all my other pants no long fit. Yes, I'm already getting a slight belly; enough to wear I need maternity pants versus regular jeans. Of course, there's also the issue of finding a black maternity dress to wear to my sister's upcoming wedding as a bridesmaid.

Overall though, I'm thankful the baby is doing well & although it's unlikely that any danger should arise at this point during the pregnancy, my doctor's office wants to stay on the side of caution. I'd rather play it safe for as long as neccessary instead of risking something happening with the baby & forever regretting & wondering.

The past few days my morning sickness has become more consistent. Once I had to shut the bedroom door while my Dad was making dinner downstairs. Although I've only gotten sick once (in the beginning), the rest has been more bothersome in the sense that you feel like crap at times without any relief. I'm still struggling to eat enough as I don't have much of an appettite.

The roller coaster of emotion have definately hit. I'm crying at almost every tv show for whatever reason & then my eyes are puffy for an hour afterwards. There are times when I feel so melonchony & jst want to cry my eyes out for no reason whatsoever. There's other times when I feel so uptight also for no reason. This roller coaster of emotions isn't as bad as it was with my pregnancy with our first child which I'm thankful for. Still, I forgot how frustrating it was.
