Just a quick update, but I had my 16 week check up today and everything looks good. I lost another 4 pounds, so I'm down 9 from my first appointment. Dr. B. said she hoped I would come out of it soon. I thought, yeah, no kidding- you and me both!!
Anyway, she said she wanted me to take the glucose test sometime when I felt good, again... so still putting that off! :) The one bonus to being sick... I told her about everyone teasing me about twins, and she whipped out the ultrasound and said "I only see one... I'd hate to admit I missed a twin!" Again- you and me both!! :)
I got to hear Baby Loo Two's heartbeat (only one), which is always cool, and Dr. B. said he/she was moving around quite a bit, so that's good.
So that's about it... big appointment in a month, so I thought I'd add the requisite poll on the side. Make sure you weigh in- boy or girl?

Not to be Out Done...
Well, I debated even putting this story up here. Mostly, because I feel like all I do on this blog right now is talk about throwing up, and no one enjoys reading about that over and over again. But, hey, let's face it- that's a big part of my life right now! ;) Plus, this story is just too funny, especially with Laney's role... ahh, the addition of a 2 year old to first trimester yakkies...
So, earlier this week, Baby Loo #2 decided not to be outdone by his/her older sister... for background, read this story from being pregnant with Laney. Apparently, #2 had heard this story, and decided that if Laney could make me throw up while driving, so could he/she!
I had a rough day in general with not feeilng well, and I had a training after school, so it was late when I went to pick Laney up. I knew as I left Tamra's that I was going to be sick, but I thought I could make it home (3 minutes, seriously...). Yeah, apparently #2 had other ideas. As I got about halfway home, I realized I was not going to make it home, and grabbed for the Fazoli's bag in the passenger seat (thank goodness I'm horrible at cleaning out my car). As I proceeded to throw up rather loudly (and somehow manage to steer the car to the side of the road with my knees), my darling daughter in the backseat pipes up. "Mommy, do this: ah-choo, ah-choo." So, apparently she thought I was sneezing. Oh, the joys...
13 weeks... still waiting to feel better. Beginning to be afraid that it's not going to get better. But I may just be a little impatient this time...

Check Up
I had my 12 week check up on Tuesday, and everything looks good.
My doctor said she wasn't worried about the glucose test. She asked if I had taken it yet, and I said "Nope, I can't even keep regular food down." So she said it would be silly to try and take it again until I was feeling better, since even if I managed to keep the stuff down I wouldn't be able to alter my diet if I needed to. So, that was a relief, because I was afraid she was going to push me to take it, and I was just going to have to refuse... and I'm not so good at outright defying of people who know lots more than me! :)
Anyway, along the same lines as the first pregnancy, I lost 5 pound between the two appointments. Can't say I'm surprised, and it's kept me in my regular clothes, since my body is definitely not shaped like it was, but I still fit in most of them! :)
That's really about it, these appointments are pretty boring- pee in a cup, weight, bp, etc. I did get to hear the heartbeat, which was just fun. She had some trouble finding it at first, so it's just these weird noises from inside me, then all of a sudden you can hear this rhythmic sound that's a heartbeat. It was very cool, and nice to have the reassurance that there really is a baby in there causing all this mischief!! :)
12 weeks now... waiting (not so patiently) for the sickness to abate. It's a little different from last time, because I'm sicker in the morning than I remember being with Laney. I remember being really sick and tired in the evenings, but this time I've mostly thrown up in the morning, and I'm sick all day long. Guess no two pregnancies are the same... hope it goes away like it did with Laney!!
