My morning sickness started around weeks 6-7 and is just now starting to ease up. While dealing with it, I have lost about 10-15 lbs. There was a good 2-3 weeks period where I couldn't eat anything. ANYTHING. I was living off Ensure and Gatorade. They say that morning sickness is a sign that everything is going okay, but let me tell you it felt like I was dying. At one point I was even getting sick off of liquids. The Dr. gave me some medicine but sadly it didn't really make a difference. I've just had to suck it up and deal with it knowing that the pay off is going to be greater than I could ever imagine.
Things are finally starting to calm down in the womb. Pookes has decided that I am now allowed to eat occasionally. I'm going in 2-3 day stretches where everything is fine and then I'll go back to feeling like absolute poo for a day. I've got it figured out that if I don't eat within 20 minutes of feeling hungry then that's when I'll get sick. Problem solved, I just have to constantly carry food/snacks with me!
On another note, if you haven't heard already, Spencer proposed to me on October 12th, and I of course said yes :) We'd talked about getting married shortly after we began dating so it really wasn't a huge shock that this was coming, but it was still a surprise nonetheless. We haven't decided on a date yet, we're thinking it's something we would like to do before baby is born though. I'll keep all of you posted, and I promise it won't be a month before my next update!
Thanks again to everyone for their support, we all really appreciate it.
