Come on Week 13!

As I write this I am about 10 1/2 weeks pregnant, which means that I am less than two weeks away from being finished with my first trimester.  Of course this is a great milestone because the chances of a miscarriage after 12 weeks is significantly reduced.  But let's be honest, I'm more excited by the fact that my first trimester side effects are starting to dissipate, and will hopefully disappear completely. I ran out of Zofran yesterday, but luckily I made it the better part of a day without any nausea. Today, I have zero nausea. (But just in case, I still called in a refill).   I still have bad nights, but before it was 24/7, so I think things are looking up.  My body also feels relatively normal again, and the 3 a.m. severe hunger wake up calls are certainly less frequent.  I am just hopeful that this improvement means I won't be part of the club of women who suffer first trimester side effects throughtout their entire pregnancy. The mere thought of that makes me sick. So far I've been textbook, so here's hoping I stay textbook. Come on week 13!
