Wow!  I'm 14 weeks today.  And for the first time in two months I have no nausea, no cramps, no pain, no nothing!!

It's a terrible, rainy, yucky day outside......... and I feel GREAT.

And, I got a big surprise today................

Little flutters on the lower left side of my belly.  I am certain it was not "just gas"... I'm feeling a baby!!  It feels so weird...... like a big goldfish wiggling around  in there!! 

I'm so happy!!!

I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow. 

I don't understand it.  Everything seems to be proceeding as normal, except that when I woke up this morning I just didn't "feel" pregnant anymore!  I still had a teensy bit of nausea.  I still look distended.  But the terrible pulling, stretching, cramping feelings in my uterus are not there today.  The pain seems to have vanished, at least temporarily.

No pain when I stand up... no having to walk slowly to avoid agony!  What is going on!!??

The other thing that has my husband in a panic is that I have only gained 4 1/2 pounds so far.  He is terrified that I'm not eating enough, even though I promised him that I eat at every meal.  I drink water and juice all day long.  I wonder if this is normal, I recall having gained about 10 pounds by 14 weeks with my first baby, and she wasn't even twins like this pregnancy.

*Sigh*  I wonder what's happening.

There's a reason I haven't blogged in weeks.

I've been very, very sick.  The nausea hit me all at once one day, much worse than usual, and just never went away.  I missed work, I missed engagements, I felt I was neglecting my husband and child.  I was too sick to eat, too sick to drive, too sick to move!!

It mercifully let up for a couple of days in Miami, but returned on our next to last day there.  I was so miserable.  I also was sick on the plane on the way there, which was awful!  To add insult to injury, after throwing up and having severe diarrhea, I also got stuck in the bathroom of the plane (the lock got stuck) and the flight attendant had to come let me out!!  I was humiliated.

Yesterday was the first day in weeks I have felt OK enough to even try to go ANYWHERE besides work.  So I took Lauren to the mall.  We went to Claire's, bought her some new earrings, ate at the food court and got pedicures.  It was a shame Nick couldn't be there to join in the fun, but he was at work.  Good news though...........

He is getting transferred to the day shift!!  I am SO EXCITED!!  He's been a night nurse for so long we don't even know any other way to live.  I can't WAIT.

I am so sick.  And I am soooooooooo sick of being so sick.  Nick has had to take care of me for three weeks.

We are supposed to go to Miami on vacation in 6 days!!  What are we going to do if I am still like this!!!???
