Now that I am approaching the half-way mark it’s probably about time to give an update on this pregnancy:
Weeks: 17 weeks, 5 days
Symptoms: Vomiting. Lots and lots of it. Daily. Sometimes nausea that goes along with it. Random stomach cramps but nothing alarming. Dry, dry skin
Medications Tried: So far just Zofran. I’ve been on oral zofran for awhile now. I was using a zofran pump (that I named Maggie) for a few weeks but it was more hassle than it was help so I gave it up. For now, I’m just using the oral zofran occasionally when the nausea gets really bad. Other than that I’ve given up on all the regular medical interventions.
Weight Gain: -4 lbs. Normal weight gain at this point should be 3-10 lbs. But baby is measuring right on track so it’s only me that is suffering from lack of nutrients.
Movement: I felt baby kicking for the first time yesterday. Before that I had felt little flutters but not actual movement. This was for real. Very exciting!

I feel so bad for you. It has just got to suck to be so sick all the time, especially now that you have two kiddos to take care of.
How exciting that you felt the baby kick. I really miss that and can't wait to feel it again.
I can't believe we're on the same week of pregnancy. I hope you feel better soon. Was it this bad with the other two for you? Will you find out the gender at the 20 week ultrasound?
I miss your blog!! Start writing again please!!!
