Pregnancy Journal

I am so happy! at the end of this week Bean's kidneys, intestines, brain, and lungs are all in place. And I only have 2 weeks left in this trimester. I've been feeling a lot better the last few day. Less nausea, but Im still having sleep issues. Plus I have a rash on the underside of my arm, and a smaller one on my stomach that is itching like crazy. I'm worried its shingles (I have had this in the past) and that would explain the overwhelming tiredness, but

1) I have never had shingles anywhere but my stomach and Im not sure if it can just pop up anywhere

2) I haven't had shingles in almost 13 years

3) no fever

4) the other times, I felt like I got punched in the spot the rash developed for about a week prior to the rash and I did not have that this time.

Still, I am going to call my doctor tomorow about it. I did some research and it doesnt seem like it effects the baby unless I have near birth (which is FOREVER AWAY), but I dont like the idea of going on any type of drugs while I'm pregnant. We'll see what doc says, it might be nothing...

ok. im tired. but Im so sick of sleeping. I seriously cannot explain how sick of sleeping I am. t's to the point I am having trouble falling asleep. I rest alot, but I have not been actually sleeping. the thing is once I fall asleep, Im out for insane periods of time. 

I am also freaking out that I am not eating enough. the nausea comes and goes, and is usually not too severe. but NOTHING sounds good. NOTHING taste good. NOTHING smells good. therefore I have been forcing myself to eat. The weight loss is nice, but also alarming to me (my doc said its fine, and in my case, expected, so not to worry...as if thats possible.). I go in for ultrasound #2 in ten days, so thats what I am trying to focus on right now...
