At 17 weeks, I have finally gotten over most of the "morning sickness" and have been able to eat. I have found that I do have issues every once in a while with food, but things are much smoother now. I have gained about 3 lbs. I expressed to the doctor that I was concerned about my lack of weight gain, but she said that I shouldn't even worry about weight gain until after 24 weeks. This is when the baby starts to grow a lot. She says the baby is only about 1/2 pound right now.
She has also explained a lot about the genetic screening, ultrasound, and birthing today. Cullen and I both had questions and concerns about these topics, but all were reasonably answered and addressed at this appointment. I am really liking my doctor, and getting much more comfortable with her.
Sound asleep Yesterday morning, I was awakened from my slumber by the overly strong odor of frying foods. The smell made me pop out of bed, throw on a robe, and investigate. The whole time, thoughts of fried tater tots bounced behind my eyes. Yum tater tots.
Bumbling in my 1/2 sleep state, I stumbled across one of my roommates plopping a heaping plate full of popcorn chicken on the table. It was no tater tots, but quite tasty. I snatched a few juicy morsels before rushing back to bed, tired and satiated.
