Today is the 12 week mark and I feel 100 times better. I don’t want to jinx myself but maybe the horrible all day sickness has surpassed? It’s great to feel human again. I am actually enjoying my job again and not having to shove food down my throat every hour. I have also been thinking about chocolate again. The first thing I realized in my 2 week wait was I didn’t want chocolate after dinner… I always want chocolate after dinner. It’s been 3 months and my long-lost friend is back on my mind. As soon as I am done writing this I am going straight to the kitchen to whip up some dark chocolate bark with pecans and sea salt. YUM!
The other new thing that started today is a sharp stabbing pain on the right side of my stomach. Before I panicked I googled it and sure enough it’s common in the beginning of the 2nd trimester. It’s called round ligament pain and it’s the ligaments stretching as the uterus grows. It’s a good thing I guess.
