But here is my current situation. I am still sick. But now I usually only throw up once a day, usually in the morning. I'm still on zofran (anti-emetic) to help keep it that way, although I still remain nauseated throughout the entire day. Unfortunately, that never goes away for me. Although I do have a better appetite this pregnancy, which usually only picks up at night, but it allows me to eat a bigger variety of foods. I can eat chicken and tomatoes :) But the diabetes is worse this time. I have had to increase my insulin dosages quite a few times already. For instance, one morning my blood sugar was still 160 2 hours after eating only 2 slices of plain toast (its all I could stomach at the time).
But all the ultrasounds have been pointing out that this is going to be another big baby, although he appears to be perfectly healthy. I feel like I gained weight really fast, but it seems to have plateaued for now. At least some of my pre-pregnancy jeans still fit me and I can still button them up under my enormous belly. Otherwise, I don't know what I would wear outside. But that also means the baby is riding high, so of course that means I have started with the heart burn (especially when I eat too much or have an empty stomach - I can't explain the empty stomach thing), which means I have to drink more milk (the only thing that helps me), which means I have to be more vigilant about my carb intake.
Oh, the beautiful torture of pregnancy.
