Week 9, Day 2: Doritos
Baby Size: Wild strawberry Food Cravings: Raspberries Strongest Symptom: Morning Sickness Well, today baby is 9 weeks and 1 day, and my morning sickness started to lighten up a couple days ago.

Week 6, Day 2: Note from Santa
We had our first ultrasound last night. Baby was 3mm long, measuring 6 weeks exactly, with a heart rate of 111. I’m sure they’ll want to bring me in again next week or so to make sure the heart rate gets up past 120, but I was just glad it was a good enough heart …

Back to TTC, though I’m not confident in our chances this month. Hubby got in the middle of a dogfight, …
Clearing Up
Cramps: gone. Red blood: gone. Pads and liners: gone. Down to just the brown spotting, mostly just when I wipe, so I decided to risk no liner today. I’ve been feeling normal for the past few days, got all the big clots out on Friday (and was feeling terrible half the day because of it) …
Light Breaking Through the Clouds
So, not gonna lie, this week has been horrible. I was taking 3 Percocet a day, and going through at least two pads a day. Yesterday was a lot better, had some cramping, enough to take a couple Percocet, but I felt more energized. Or rather, less dead, I guess. No Percocet today, and bleeding …
