14 Weeks
I’m feeling both lazy and linky-lurvey, so I’ll send you to what the divine Miss Margi posted at this particular milestone if you’d like the “how your baby is growing” specifics. 
All is well. I’m getting more than a touch exasperated with the continued bouts of nausea, but it’s so much better than the first four weeks or so of it that I can’t really complain. With Sadie, I think I had it from weeks 6-10 and then it just went away. Evaporated. Disappeared entirely. This time it started at 6 weeks or so and started getting better at 10 weeks but neglected to get itself completely gone. It’s stuck like Pooh in Rabbit’s doorway and I’m hoping I won’t have to get skinny to make it fit the rest of the way out.
Wow. That was a tortured metaphor. Have I mentioned the brain-scrambling effect is stronger than ever? 
Sadie up and weaned this last week, and now that I’m past the initial adjustment I have to say that I’m glad. My supply was shot anyway, and it’s nice to lose that additional stress on my body. Between the continuing nausea, the meds I’m on for blood pressure, and ragweed season (for which suffering I am forbidden to take anything at all, grumble grumble), I’m sort of a mess. Not always the most pleasant person to be around, either. Heh. I’m hoping that the legendary second-trimester energy fairy visits me soon.
It’s all worth it, of course, and I know I have it fairly easy compared to what it could be. I just miss feeling good. Especially with Sadie to chase around.
Appointment with my primary doc tomorrow. I haven’t been weighed in nearly a month, so it’ll be interesting to see if I gained anything (or too much...I’m expanding so fast I have no sense of whether it’s going to baby or backside). Next midwife appointment on September 6 and the big ultrasound is Spetember 26, so lots of exciting stuff coming up!
