So, the other thing that I didn't write in my last post was that I lost 3.5 pounds in about 3 weeks. My last appt was June 30 and my next was July 21. I have another in 3 weeks on Aug 11.
My doctor didn't seem super concerned, but he did ask about it. I think that he thought that I had lost 3.5 pounds this week (which I didn't). I know this because I weighed myself on a scale at Kristine's mom's house and I knew I was only 216 in the middle of the day. In June, I was around 220.
Now, I have quite enough to be starting with in the weight dept, so that's not a big concern now, but my bigger issue is that I'm not going to be able to stay healthy. The baby will just suck out whatever it needs, but I might suffer from it. I am taking vitamins (just children's chewable), but I just worry. It's not that I'm not eating, but I just can't eat that much and I don't have too much of an appetite.
So, anyone have any thoughts? I'm concerned that I'm going to lose weight again in the next 3 weeks and then I will get talked at. But, I'm overweight to begin with, so, I don't know if it's a super big deal -- I'm not dieting and losing weight on purpose, it's just happening.
I never thought I'd have the day where I was worried about losing weight, but there it is! :)

WHOA! Weeks 14, 15, 16, 17
Wow! What did I miss here! Geez!
So, nothing exciting going on here anyway. The nausea has finally, FINALLY, left. It took until 16 weeks. So, I was sick from 6 weeks to 16 weeks. Ugh! I did throw up one morning, because I stood too long over the diaper pail. Oops!
Getting bigger in the belly area. Moved entirely to maternity clothes, pretty much. It's just easier.
This is the exciting week, I guess. I probably did too much this past weekend and then we walked to Dairy Queen last night in the heat (DUMB DUMB DUMB) and then today, I started to have some mild cramping. So, I've been drinking a lot of water and laying in my Lazyboy chair in the living room and it has been much better. But, lesson learned. You are not Superman.
Nothing else new to report though. Just trying to get nursery ideas and waiting for my follow up ultrasound at 20 weeks to find out if it's QMA or EAI. haha My favorite joke ever!
We also have names picked out finally. Well, we had a girls name, of course, from before. But, now we have a boy name. I don't remember if I said it here or not. I don't think so.
Girl: Lillian Elise
Boy: Maxwell Rufus
I don't know what I want at this point -- I don't think I care. Healthy would be awesome! A girl would be nice and a boy, so Ryan has a brother, would be ok too. I'm not picky at this point.
I'm also trying to decide if I can take the whole 12 weeks I get from FMLA or not; I think that I might be able to this time -- because I get paid semi-monthy instead of bi-weekly, I will have a little bit on each paycheck to tide us over. I just need to calculate daycare and the structuring of my benefits in the reduced paychecks. It would be awesome.
