I keep thinking I'm so far along, that there's not much time left to get things ready for Baby, and then I go and look at some fetal progress website like this one and I realize no, May is pretty far away, I'm only a quarter of the way through this process, and Baby still looks like a little alien parasite. Which it is. :)
I talked to the doctor about how little I'm eating, and once I got on the scales it turns out I've lost about 15lbs since Week 1, but the doctor said that's fairly normal at this stage and nothing to worry about until we get farther along. So I'm eating as much as Baby will let me, as often as s/he will let me, and not worrying about the rest for now.
Have I mentioned how ready I am for the morning sickness to be over? I've gotten to where I can pinpoint my danger zone every morning (8:15 to 9:00am) and I've changed my morning routine to be within two steps of the toilet throughout that time zone. Poor Tristan; I've jerked him out of a deep sleep more than once, but except for one really embarrassing post-dinner episode with the office trash can, I haven't been too much of a burden in that department.
Still no names yet, but we may not have any picked out for quite a while. Like I said, May is pretty far away. :)
