The Good...the Bad...the Ugly

The Good: I just looked down at my pregnancy ticker for the first time in a few days and noticed that the "bump" has been exposed. I feel like I'm on my way! Dave and I have been coming up with fun nicknames for the baby over the weekend. We think it's so funny that references of the baby's size always pertain to food. This week the baby will be about the size of a raspberry. Yum! We decided that once I get good and preggo, we'll start to call the baby our "Little Butterball" because Dave thinks it could actually get to be the size of a turkey!

The Bad: My symptoms have been fluctuating quite a bit over the past few days. The weekends have been quite restless. I'm still very tired, very cranky, and very burpy.

The Ugly: The worst of my symptoms continues to be GI problems. I am almost constantly bloated and feel like I'm about to pop. I've never had this before, so I'm sure it's the baby talking. I get about 3-4 hours of sleep each night because I'm awoken by this excruciating pressure in my stomach. It refuses to go away, even with enzymes, yogurt, Rolaids and other means (you don't want to know). What's even worse is my doctor hasn't called me back since I left a message last Thursday! I'm VERY irritated about that. I left a message asking for suggestions of what I could take and NO return call. And it's going on 2pm Monday! I'm about ready to find another OBGYN who will return my calls AND monitor me more closely.
