I'm 12 weeks today.
This morning I had my prenatal appointment, and finally got to hear my little parasites heart beat.
Everything seems to be going as it should, with a strong heartbeat in the 160's range. (Old wives tales say a high heart beat like that means it's a girl... who knows. LOL)
I'm still feeling REALLY yuck, and I'm throwing up more than I wish I was. I'm on medication that makes me feel almost as yuck too... I am groggy and drugged on the medication, and sick and vomiting without it... so everyday I just have to 'pick my poison'
I've lost 2lbs since my last appointment, but that's not too much so I'll catch it up when the sickness finally ends.
So all in all, everything is going as it should, but I'm one miserable mommy... I look forward to the coming months when the yucky part is over. Hopefully this little parasite cuts me some slack before 28 weeks which is when Luke finally decided to give me a break with the nausea.
We're excited though about the prospect of another baby joining our family.
So, for now I'm just trying to suck it up and tough it out.
Jake has been my Knight in shining armour... he has picked up all my slack and kept things at home running smoothly. I'm so grateful for all of his help and dedication. I'd be a total wreck right now if he weren't here to pick up where I'm lacking.
What a lucky girl I am :)

Caroline's heartbeat was almost always in the 140s and so is this baby's. Apparently the old wives' tale doesn't work for my babies. I can't wait to find out what you are having!
Glad everything looks good! Hope your MS eases up soon.
