I go in for my next ultrasound on Thursday. It's the big 2nd trimester one at the Kaiser Facility in Santa Ana. I'm a little nervous. I know ultrasounds are non-invasive, but that's not really what I'm worried about. I just turned 17 weeks on Saturday (yesterday) and I stepped on my Wii scale. I've lost another pound! I wont give my total, but in about 11 weeks, I've lost about 12 lbs!
In the first trimester, it's pretty normal to lose weight. Even 10 lbs is OK. But I'm 17 weeks now! I'm on my last week until i Start my 5th month! You'd think that I'd have gained a bit by now! I've been eating a bunch of small meals. Their not high calorie, but even still. I'm eating! Like right now, I'm eating a fairly large bowl of pasta. Tomato sauce, pasta... not bad right? I just don't understand it.
I also see my OB/GYN on the same day (Thursday). I really need to talk to her about this. It's beginning to concern me. It was a little weird about 2 weeks ago on the 1st when I was 1 lb. less than I was 3 weeks before. And this time when I go in, I'm going to be even lower.
Is the baby going to be OK? I'm really starting to be concerned for her well being. (I call the baby a she. It's just easier. And no we haven't found out.) I want make sure she's developing properly. I want to be a good home for her the next few months. I'm not underweight, I'm still pretty average, but I don't want a sudden weight loss to screw things up for me!
In other news, my friend Jessica is pregnant! Last she said, 11 weeks! Woohoo! I'm really happy to have a baby buddy. It's weird going through this alone. Ok well, not alone, Matt is here and I have all of my books, but there is something to be said about sharing what you are goign through with a person who is going through that as well! Yay Jess! Matt and I are really happy for you and John!
Other than that things are OK. Nothing much to say about work, home life is pretty uneventful too. I'll post new pictures and an update either Thursday or Friday. I'm sure this next ultrasound we'll find out if we're having a boy or grl. Can't wait to let you all know!

UPDATE: Called the doctor, and she just told me to keep an eye on my weight, the light cramping and the migraines. She said to discuss thoroughly everything with my doc this Thursday. She really made me feel a lot better. Thanks Katie for calling and talking to me for 2.5 hours and making me feel better too!
