WEEK 11: Lime

Lime. One of my favorites. It is called kalamansi back home and it has myriad of purposes. But the best purpose, it whitens your underarm. Ingenious isnt it? So the books are telling me that my baby is now the size of a lime. The good news is that the most critical part of my baby's organ system development is over. By the next week, it will double in size YET i havent seen my OB.

As I mentioned, I didn't have any morning sickness. Its that feeling of nausea that usually occur in the morning at the onset of pregnancy. However, mine is different. I get nauseous every after meal. My appetite has never been this big but I always ended up throwing up. I tried to eat in small meals but it is just not possible for someone who has a very erratic work schedule. I can't be so excited starting my new job next week so I will own my time. Customer service is not for me, especially a no no for pregnant women.

Everyday it's getting more and more uncomfortable. My clothes are getting snugger by the minute, I get cramps, heartburn, headaches, upset stomach, you name it. And with all of these, you can't take medicine. What a bummer.

After gearing up for weeks for my appointment, my doctor cancelled me out. I fought my heads out to get me on schedule. So I am going to have a new doctor. I couldn't wait for that day for the doctor to tell me that, indeed I am pregnant and that  he/she can hear my child's heartbeat. I hope I will get lucky and get a sonogram and ultrasound too.
