This first trimester seems to be creeping by. Jun has been feeling sick 6 out of 7 days every week. Most of the time she just feels nauseated, the other times, well... apparently what goes down must come up. It's really bumming us both out because there's nothing we can really do about it. The last time we were at the doctor, Jun was prescribed some anti-nausea medicine (Ondansetron) that dissolves in your mouth. She's been very wary about taking any kind of medication though, so she just suffers through it.
I know it's hard on her to be sick all the time, and it's hard for me as well having to sit there helplessly as she gets sick. At least we know that if she's getting sick, then her hormones are just acting up in response to the baby.
Speaking of the baby, Puff is now 10 weeks along, and the pregnancy is in it's 12th week overall. This means that we are approaching the end of the first trimester. We are almost a third of the way there.
In preparation for our upcoming bundle of joy, I took time on Saturday to clean out the room that will become the nursery. I should have taken before and after pictures of the room, but I moved out all the junk (thereby making 2 other rooms messy) and vacuumed the carpet. In the next few weeks we'll probably decide on a color to paint the room, probably a nice, gender-neutral pastel green or yellow. We're probably still a few months from buying furniture though. We've done a small amount of furniture shopping in stores like Buy Buy Baby and Babies 'R' Us, and we've come to the conclusion that it's all way expensive. I used to think that weddings were the biggest money-making scam, but I'm starting to think that babies are right up there as well.
Other than that, everything is looking good in the Robbins' household. Jun has another doctor's checkup and ultrasound on Thursday, so we're looking forward to seeing how big Puff is getting an hearing his heartbeat again. Hopefully it's still beating strong and fast!
