10 weeks today!

I can't believe how fast time is FLYING! I'm 10 weeks today and so excited - my baby looks like a baby now and not some Martian blob! woo hoo!

And, to make it even better - my all day nausea is GONE! I'm able to eat whatever I want and not feel bad. I don't think I've even gobbled TUMS in a week! It's so nice to feel more normal. I still get queasy but not nearly as bad as it was the 4 weeks prior - this is so wonderful!

I'm in my maternity pants full time now. I'm still wearing regular shirts for the time being. I went shopping last weekend to get clothes for our upcoming cruise and managed to find two pairs of shorts and 4 shirts. I still have to find a bathing suit - even though I know I won't be able to go swimming I want one for getting some sun on deck!

This coming week I have my next OB appointment and pre-op appointment. No ultrasound this time but thats ok - the following week I have my sequential screening (history of spina bifida in my family recently) and it involves a very detailed ultrasound to check for trisomy disorders and SB. Then I have my cerclage on the 29th. I'm very happy I'm getting it as early as possible. I can't find the exact studies but I've heard from other IC patients that getting your preventive cerclage earlier means your cervix is even better protected - 12 weeks is the minimum many will get it at and I'm getting it at 12 weeks exactly. I just pray everything goes well!
