I swear 3 weeks feels like an eternity right now. I had my last ultrasound on July 13th and have my next OBGYN appointment on August 4th. I never would have thought 3 little weeks could feel sooooo long. I guess I got spoiled by ultrasounds every week, but for some reason I am totally paranoid something is wrong and time is just creeping by! ugh!! The good news is that I am going to have a huge distraction starting Wednesday because of work, so hopefully that will make the last week of this dreaded 3WW pass quickly.
As for me, I'm still feeling pretty good. My nausea is totally gone, and I find myself slightly less tired than before. I am suffering from serious constipation, but that was pretty common pre-pregnancy so I assumed it would get worse. I've been trying prune juice which seems to be helping, and will probably add in a fiber supplement this week. I feel bloated most of time and while I don't have a "bump" at all, I definitely am much thicker through the mid section. I've been a little stressed about my weight gain thus far, but try to keep reminding myself that everyone gains differently so there is no mold for the perfect 1st tri weight gain. I haven't told everyone at work yet (my boss and good friends know), but after next weeks appointment I'm going to let everyone know. Fortunately, I wore a lot of empire waisted dresses before I got pregnant so I don't think anyone has really noticed. I am just hoping everything is OK next Wednesday so then I can just tell everyone.

So glad your nausea is gone!
Prunes did wonders for me when I was pregnant. :)
So glad you are feeling better. Hope the next week and a half flies by for you and of course you have a perfect u/s. I know it's easy for me to say, but please don't worry about the weight gain now. Everyone gains differently and you'll be able to lose serious weight if you BF and exercise after the LO is here.
I am so glad you are feeling better!
And, I hope your wait starts to go by quicker!
yup, the waits get longer and longer. I have an appointment on Aug 3 and it is also 3 wks later! I am dying waiting to see the peanuts again!
Glad you are feeling better. The constipation is the worst. The only thing that worked for me was fiber one cereal (the honey oat clusters). I hope you get some relief soon.
As far as your weight gain, I'm not sure if you're worried that you're gaining too much or not enough, but try not to stress. I was a little geeked out about it too, but after you gain the first 10 pounds, I swear it's like something just clicks and you become more comfortable with the scale. I'm trying hard to focus less on the number and more on eating things that I can "stand behind". (i.e. things that are healthy and that are good for me and the kiddos.) I figure there are skinny people with babies all over the place, maybe I'll get to be one of them someday too :)
Glad you are feeling better. I hope the time passes quickly so you can see the baby soon!!
