This will hopefully be my last unpublished post! This morning we had our first trimester screen, which is also called the Nuchal Translucency Screen. We got to see M5 again, who was both kicking and waving today. We are supposed to get the results in 24-48 hours, and I'm hoping it's more like 24 hours so we don't have to wait over the weekend. Assuming the results are good, we are considering that to be our "all clear" as far as telling people.
I used the elliptical today and Tuesday. Aside from a chest strap malfunction today, I'm really enjoying the elliptical. Whereas I feel awkward and slow and uncomfortable running, I feel really good on the elliptical. I do have to stop at least halfway through to adjust my right hip, but I've always had to do that. It's really tempting for me to just totally bag on running for awhile. What I'm thinking is that I may just run 1 day a week until it starts feeling better (allegedly soon) and I can run more often, or if it gets even crappier then I'll just stop. I'm not enjoying the little running I do now, which makes it really hard to be motivated. So since I'm enjoying my time on the elliptical, I should do that more since staying semi-fit is really important to me.
On a different note, I think I've started gaining some weight this week (last week was a 1/2 pound gain after 10 weeks of no change) but I am still wearing the same pants I've been wearing. I did have to give up one pair of pants about 2 weeks ago, but they were a slightly higher rise. All my really low rise pants fit about the same. I'm curious as to when I will start actually showing and where my weight gain is going to be. I had a 20% coupon for Old Navy last weekend, so I went ahead and ordered some maternity pants and a shirt. They said to order your pre-pregnancy size, which is what I did. But as it turns out, unless I am going to gain a gigantic amount of weight, I should've ordered a size down. And what sucks is that two of things I ordered were online-only, so if I want the smaller size I can't just exchange it at the store.
