Week 10

We are closing in on the end of week 10 of the pregnancy.  Apparently, the babies are the size of limes and growing bigger everyday.  Its amazing how fast the time goes by.   I am feeling better.  The nausea seems to have subsided for the most part and the one Zantac at night keeps the heartburn at bay.  I am less hungry....or it seems.  I suppose that its because I'm not feeling nauseated every time my stomach gets empty.  Its nice not to have to stuff my face all the time.  I am still soooooooooo exhausted all the time and my feet have began to swell.  I am going to try to increase my water intake.  Hopefully, this will help and I won't have to watch my salt (which I probably will if not now, later)  lol.  It probably didn't help that I ate half a jar of salsa for dinner last night.  And for those of you that know me...its totally not me to eat that kind of food.  lol  Oh, I also had creamy chicken soup that I drank with the chips and salsa.  On second thought, maybe I should go ahead and watch my salt intake.  Haha!

I received my extra calcium and fish oil supplements in the mail this week.  (I had to order online because I couldn't find them in local stores.)  Whoa!!  Talk about horse pills!!  Now, in the mornings after I eat breakfast, I have to take the prenatal vitamin, folic acid, 4 HUGE fish oil capsules, and 1 HUGE calcium tablet.   Nothing like four lemon flavored fish oil capsules to make your breakfast super yummy.  Haha!  NOT! 

I had some wonderful friends last week, loan me some maternity clothes!  They have been lifesavers!!  I am so thankful to have things in my closet that not only fit me but are stylish.  Thanks Ladies!! 

Overall, things are going wonderfully.  Even though I'm listing all my ailments, they are so manageable.  I am thankful to have such a smooth pregnancy so far.  Our next doctor visit is just a couple of weeks away.  I'm looking forward to seeing the babies again. 

A side note:   I found out last weekend that my cousin's wife is also pregnant.  She is due just a day or two ahead of me on October 13th!  How exciting to get to share this experience with family even though they are miles away.  Congratulations Andrew and Sarah!  You will be wonderful parents!
