Pregnancy update: Week 15

So far pregnancy has been, uhhhh, not what I was expecting. The first two weeks after I found out, and after talking to Mom (who seemed to have a fairly easy pregnany) were actually pretty good. I was eating A LOT. I was hoping I'd have an easy pregnancy too!! But as soon as I went for my first ultrasound/appointment, the morning sickness hit. And it hasn't gone away since. I have been MISERABLE. I've lost WAY too much weight, and can barely eat real food. I snack mostly :) And a lot of what I eat, ends up coming right back up. Around 10 weeks, my OB introduced me to a lifesaver, Zofran. It has worked wonders! I no longer throw up daily (every few days is now the reg), but I'm still not eating much. I'm now into my second trimester, and it hasn't cleared up. But I'm not losing hope! I've been working my rear end off trying to eat new foods (and keep them down) and trying to eat more. It's not going too well, but I'm making progress! :) So week 15 has been like almost every other week. I do have a baby bump now, and I can feel baby move around every once in awhile. She likes to hang out on the outskirts of the womb, and shove herself up into my ribs/pelvic bone/side of the stomach until I poke and prod her to move. It makes my tummy all lopsided, and feels weird. It hurts when I cough!! So as much as I love feeling her and her tummy hugs, I try to move her so Mommy can be more comfortable :) Manny and I learned the other night, to shine a flashlight on my tummy where she is, and she swims away. It was pretty funny! She's almost 5 inches now too! Getting big :) Here are some pictures!!
