Four Weeks

The days that I feel like crap are even scarier then I ever remember them being.  Today I woke up in a pretty good amount of pain. Its 2:00pm I have not ate and I'm scared too.  My belly still really hurts, I'm extremely nauseous, not hungry and really don't want to eat. I'm scared to eat. I never wish that feeling upon anyone. (I did drink an Orgain - I'll have to talk about those at some point)  I've had many, many good days so these days where I feel like crap is a very terrible reminder of GP. 
BUT! I'm doing good. I really am.  I saw my GI doctor (my tummy doctor) yesterday and it was a good appointment.  He was really happy to hear how well I have been feeling and was not surprised at all.  He explained a little about the bodies amazing changes while being pregnant and the 'type of state' my body is currently in. - In 'simple' terms - everything has basically speed up.  My digestion and the whole process is much faster.  Which I knew.  I can literally feel the increase in my digestion.  One good indication of that is the foods I can now eat and tolerate.  That's because the food does not sit in my stomach for hours like they did.  I told him I even had some salad, and he said 'that's great, enjoy it while you can'.  Those words, "enjoy it while you can" of his, repeat in my head over and over again. { Leaving the office yesterday mom and I talked about how I might just have to have ten kids because I feel so good - (that's a joke). }  Doctor looked up one of my medications just to be sure it was safe to take while pregnant, it is.  It was a great appointment.  He is so wonderful, he's an amazing doctor and I'm SO happy I found him. I'm truly lucky to have him as many, many people with GP go through many doctors.  Often finding ones that don't believe their pain and misery. I see him again in 3 months.
I have another baby appointment next week, and four weeks from now I can find out the sex.  Four weeks! Wow. It almost seems like things are flying.  And I'm already having the feeling of being super unprepared.  But, mom says I never will be.  Good to know, good to know. :)
My other half has gone to every appointment so far and asked me the time of the next one, just the other night.  It makes me all giddy how involved he already is.  He's going to be a great dad. <3
