Counting the days and weeks

I've already had my first ultrasound, about two weeks ago. It was good! I got to see the heartbeat and I have a picture from it that I haven't found time to scan and put up yet. It was a huge weight off my mind that there was an actual baby in there with an actual heartbeat and not just an empty sack or something. I'm trying to avoid looking up all the things that can go wrong in pregnancy because that way lies madness and I don't need to worry any more than I already am.
On the one hand, I would hope my miracle baby would be tougher than normal. My one fallopian tube moved so that my right ovary could provide the egg and there's such a low chance of that happening that I can't help but think my pregnancy started out being blessed. Even with that, I'm still going to worry about everything until the end I think. I have a smaller uterus and I know that can have complications.
Anyway, I have another ultrasound on Monday so hopefully everything is a-okay once again.
I'm currently in the middle of some of my worst sickness symptoms. I still haven't vomited at all but I do have a pretty strong stomach. There were a few times when I went from "being nauseous" into "I think I'm about to throw up" but nothing ever came of it. I've found that I have to be very careful about HOW I eat, though not necessarily WHAT I eat. If I wait too long to eat, I feel sicker. If I eat slightly too much, I feel sicker. I've noticed that spicy foods bother me more than they used to as well. I've been trying to eat healthier but I'm not always successful, unfortunately. Of course, I've been trying to eat healthier for years so this is an ongoing battle.
I'm looking forward to when it's warm enough to take walks outside again. The -29C temps we had the other day were horrible. It's been hovering more around -17C recently but that's still bloody cold and I really don't want to do anything outside right now.
Hopefully I'll remember to update this journal with my thoughts more frequently. I've been a little brain dead after work so I haven't been getting much of anything done the past few weeks. We'll see how it goes!
