Food is bad, mkay?

Pregnancy Day: 60 (8w4d)
Gestational Age: 46 days (6w4d)

Here is something I posted on the message boards today, which describes well how I'm feeling:

I can tell I'm hungry, but my stomach is so queasy that I don't feel hungry. Plus, everything in the fridge is disgusting.

I find the only thing I can eat is ice cream and fruit snacks (luckily, I've done pretty well not to only eat those things, but that's all I FEEL like eating). I went out and bought 4 boxes of fruit snacks and 2 gallons of ice cream last night. I feel like I can only eat things that are sweet, clean and cold. For some reason, anything that I feel is "dirty" (like an egg or salad or cheese or anything warm) is really gross.

This morning, I threw up while brushing my teeth, and now I feel like I'm on the permanent verge of throwing up. I don't really feel nausea, per se, just like I feel stuff could come up in my throat. It is really gross and makes me not want to eat.

But, I'm just going to eat what I can, when I can, and keep taking my vitamins! :)

Dear baby,

You have eyes now, and your intestines, hopefully, are starting to migrate from the umbilical cord (where they were originally formed) into your body cavity.

Here are the pictures I have so far:

I had some more bleeding tonight. It is so scary to see blood. I might ask for some blood tests to make sure everything is OK tomorrow. Unless it totally goes away, in which can I can probably last until my next ultrasound on Thursday.

Please stick around, baby. I want to meet you more than anything.

Love,

Mom

Bloodwork and bleeding

Crazy day today.

Had my first ultrasound and saw the gestational sac. HCG was 7,786 and progesterone was 31.

Later, at work, I started to bleed.

It's been about 6 hours since the bleeding started, and it has basically almost come to a stop. There is just a very small spot or two now on the TP.

I have decided that it is because of the vaginal ultrasound. I have a big fibroid, and the tech really had to dig for quite a long time around to see the gestational sac. At first I didn't think that could be it because I've had so many vaginal ultrasounds in the past and never had a problem. However, I've done a lot of research about how the cervix engorges with blood during pregnancy, making it easier for a crazy woman with a wand to make a overly-worried pregnant girl bleed.

I hope I'm right, and that the bleeding doesn't come back. :(

Please stick around, baby.
