15 weeks and 4 days. Things are getting more difficult. I find that I have very little energy at all, and eating is still difficult, since I have no appetite. The past few days, I have felt weaker than usual, and I suppose it's due in part to me not eating enough to supply the demands of pregnancy. Yesterday was our most recent doctor's appointment. I found out a lot of things. Most importantly, I have lost another 2 pounds, making a total of 10 pounds since I got pregnant. This is not necessarily a good thing. It is all due to not eating enough. The Doctor was very clear that this needs to stop. I only wish it was as easy as it sounded. It all seems to be a vicious cycle. I don't have any energy, so I don't want to make anything, so I don't eat, so I never get any energy. And it continues like that.
One exciting development; we made the appointment to have the gender ultrasound. November 18th we will find out what we're having.
I have to admit, it still feels weird to say that I am pregnant at all. Every now and again I feel little flutters, but nothing more as far as movement, and though I'm showing a little, it doesn't feel real. I'd like to say that it seems like I'm just gaining weight, but I'm not even doing that. I'm losing weight and I'm growing. *sigh* If only I could have lost weight like this before I got pregnant.
Well, enough of my complaints. A friend of mine once said that she was sick of hearing pregnant women complain about how they feel because there are women out there who have trouble getting pregnant and they should be glad that they're expecting. I have to respond now that, though I am extremely glad and excited to be expecting, that doesn't mean it's all fun and games. Some women, though able to get pregnant and happy that they are, have a difficult time with it. It happens. We just try to deal with it as best as we can. That's all we can do. So if you have a pregnant friend, give her a hug. She might need it.
Love from,

I hope your appetite comes back soon. I remember my doctor telling me with Katie to stop loosing weight after I dropped over 10 lbs in 2 months. It is frustrating because you are not trying to loose anything. I still laugh at my doctor because he prescribed me a milk shake a day until my weight came up. He even said to make it a double if it tasted good. Best of luck.
LOL! I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone. It really is getting frustrating. I try to eat as often as I can... it's just not easy.
It's funny that he "prescribed" milkshakes, because my doctor told me almost the same thing! LOL!!!
