In retrospect, I would definitely say this first three months went more smoothly than with Ella. The sickness hit both times at 5 1/2 weeks, and this time, it began getting a little better after 10, then 12 and then 14 weeks. I'm 15 weeks today and I'm hopeful it will get even better in the next few weeks.
I spend large portions of the day with no sickness at all, but there are still pockets where I feel pretty yucky - the evenings are still the worst, too. I'm gaining some weight now. This morning I was at 143.5 and I started somewhere around 139, I think. I'm also officially "showing" and people are guessing that I'm pregnant these days. It's so amazing how much more quickly it happened this time.
My bladder has good moments and bad, but still no signs of remission. I pray for it every night. The constipation (oh, the horrid constipation) cannot be helping much. Also on the symptom list is some back pain, lots of breast pain and fatigue. Only six more months to go, right?!
Maybe someday soon I'll feel the little guy move around in there. I'm really looking forward to that day. At our NT scan at 13 1/2 weeks, the u/s tech was "reasonably sure" it's a boy and since I've had such a strong feeling myself about having a boy, I'm confident she's right. We'll find out for sure in five weeks, though.
I started back at work on March 10 (well, really the few days before that since I was helping with the SMM) and so far, it's been fine. I'm doing okay getting up in the morning, though I'm not exactly in here at 6:30 a.m. yet. Actually, this morning it was hard to wake up. We moved Ella to a "toddler" bed (her crib, but with the conversion rail) and she fell out three times. After that, I put her matress on the floor and the rest of the night went much better. She landed on pillows so she's fine, but I had to go in and soothe her each time. I'm now looking into toddler bed rails and we'll probably just move her into the queen sized bed next weekend.
That's all I have time for right now...I'll work on posting more soon.
