thought I should start this journal. I am currently 7 weeks exactly.
And morning sickness appears to be rearing it's ugly head. Though it's not exactly "morning" sickness - it lasts most of the day! One tip though - drink your water! DON'T get dehydrated. I think I did yesterday and Sunday, and I think it made it all worse yesterday and today. Now, been drinking water again and I seem to be feeling better. We'll see what happens overnight.
Mostly, it's been a good ride so far. Didn't really start feeling sick until last week, and it's just worse this week, but that could also be because I am traveling and just have to eat what's available, without any choice. And living off snacks is not a good thing! I can't wait to get home Friday night...I just hope I don't throw up on the plane or the drive to the airport! This could be fun...ok running off now. But it's a start, and I'll have to keep adding to this. Have fun reading everyone!
Well, I think the flying and dehydration is starting to leave me. Felt quite nauseous this morning, but now not so much. Actually got hungry around 10am! That's such a good sign for me. I think the water is helping. Not quite as tired, but we'll see what happens later in the day.
Still feel so bloated! But, despite the fact that it grows during the day, in the morning it seems to be just about the same size. Just bloating, baby's too small yet to really show. Though there is definitely a bump there that wasn't a few weeks ago! But, it's been there since around 5 weeks or so. A little scared to see where I am in a few months. While it really hasn't grown much, I think it has a little, or at least I've "thickened" in my waist a little. What fun. I wonder if anyone will guess when I get to my MILs on Saturday? I just have to wear my larger jeans, and a top that already made me look pg...but we'll see. At least they'll know by the end of the evening!
So, that's my update for now. I am away from home traveling for work, and just happy that the food's been ok (no choice, just whatever I get). And now my boss is looking at sending me to a conference next week, and I'd have to leave Sunday, drive into the States, fly to the conference, be there all week, and turn around Friday night and do it all again. That just sucks. And I haven't told them I'm pg, so there's no way I can say that's why I don't want to go...just have to wait and see if he thinks that it's worth it to send me, especially if I can't fly out of the city, and have to drive a few hours first.
Well, I am 8 weeks today! And damn, I think I am getting sick. My throat is sore, and no amount of water, tea, or soup has helped. My appetite has also gone to pot. This is also not helping with morning sickness...it seems to be worse today than other days. Still hoping I don't at work...
So on Sunday we told DH's family. We decided to put it in the cards we were giving (3 birthdays being celebrated at once), so BIL got one that said Uncle "", FIL - Grampa, MIL - Grandma. So, there they are opening the cards...BIL didn't say anything, but he was sick so I didn't really expect him to notice. MIL (who I thought for sure would say something) says nothing. (She later says that she thought we were trying to tell her that she was babysitting too much! ) Finally FIL pipes up "Why are you calling me Grandpa? I'm your Dad!" DH just says "Why do you think?" One of the SILs gets it first and just screams. FIL's wife gets it pretty quick too. There's all this screaming and hugging and almost crying (that would be the MIL). Everyone is just . Other SIL comes downstairs. Sister asks "Did you hear all the screaming?" "Yes, figured everyone was really happy about something." "Yeah, you're going to be a auntie, again." Looks at me blankly. "Hello Auntie ""." She got it. So that was fun.
Now to tell my family...Easter it is. Similar type thing I think - cards. We'll see how they react.
So other than that, and trying to not at work, it's been uneventful. Oops, forgot one thing DH said to me last night - "Wow, your belly is really starting to hang out." No kidding! That's why I've been in mat pants since around 6 weeks...
And yes, the thought of twins has crossed my mind. We'll see what the doctor hs to say about that at our first appointment in two weeks. It's just scary that I am "showing" (ok,bloating) this much already! I mean, I really really really can't wear my normal pants anymore, and tops are becoming a problem...and it started so early!
Well, it's been a hell of a week. First, told DH's family Sunday night. Then, got a really bad cold Tuesday (came out and kicked my ass that night) and been home sick for two days. Now, back at work Friday, though at least for half of it I get to work from home.
However, for 2 days there I really didn't feel pg! It had me worried, I mean, no sudden gnawing hunger, no nausea at all, BBs weren't that sore...granted was still very thirsty (couldn't and still can't get enough water). But do you know what I mean? Just felt miserable and sick with a cold, but not pregnant!
Feeling a little better about it now. Been getting hungry again, belly seems to be bloating again in the afternoon (sure that's because I'm actually eating again!) and it even seems a little bigger this morning than other days! Also, the nausea is kicking back in. As are the sore BBs. Granted, I could do without the nausea, especially as the only thing that seems to really ease it is eating, and I'm talking about it's only eased when I am actually eating! Five minutes later I am nauseous again!
So we'll see what happens in the next few days and weeks...at least my cold seems to be going away! Now as long as everything is ok with my LO...damn, the worrying starts so early!
I have to admit, I am also worried about my job. Since this is a new job, I am dreading telling them. They knew when they hired me that my DH and I were trying, and that they may not have me very long before I went on mat leave. But I feel like I am not doing my best (I'm probably not) and not really being productive. Also feel like I am not contributing as well as I should. I guess compounding on that is that I've been off sick for the past two days because I haven't been sleeping at night due to not being able to take anything to help my breathe or sleep! I have to tell them soon as I am already showing a little and in mat pants, and most everyone else knows already (just not family - that will be on Easter weekend). Next week I guess...or maybe the week after that so that when they ask what I did on the long weekend I can tell them I told my family I was pg. I don't know. I guess I am also just not enjoying my job, don't want to lose it, and I hate not giving my all. I think it's also because I know it's not really a job I want to go back to, so it makes it hard. I will go back, at least until we have a second, but I'm not really looking forward to it. Especially because it requires such specialized knowledge. Maybe I'll have to look for something else before I head back...I'm just so confused! But I'm sure it's also hormones. Maybe a little bit of depression coming back. I have to take my Omegas tonight - that should help and hopefully I can swallow them!
Wow, what a rant. Well, at least I am feeling a little better about it. Though now if my pg/baby brain would just let me concentrate and keep thoughts in my head longer than 2 minutes...I'm sure that would help with my job too!
I am an accountant, currently an accounting software consultant. So, I implement and support up to 3 different software packages. Just started working on the third actually.
Thinking that I'd eventually like to start a bookkeeping/business consulting business (I have my CMA - Certified Management Accountant - designation (Canadian designation)). But we'll see. I think I am just tired from being back at work and still sick and it's not helping my outlook right at this point. And one of my clients is pi$$ing me off today...
Almost 9 weeks! Still haven't told my parents or Granny, but that will happen on Easter Sunday, less than a week away.
All I can say is that I hate being sick! I still have my cold which is making me really tired (due to not being able to breathe properly as well just fighting the cold off), as well as being tired from pg...I really wish I was at home relaxing right now. I hope that this tiredness goes away around 12-14 weeks. I think I can make it that long...though it's getting harder and harder. Work is so much more tiring than being at home. I have to be doing things all day with no real breaks (I mean, i can't just curl up for 30 minutes whenever I want to!) either physically or mentally. And I swear the fact that I can't get up and grab whatever I want to eat makes the nausea worse.
Oh well, I am almost a quarter of the way there. So I can do this. (I keep telling myself that.)
I had to take myself off my prenatal after this weekend. I think it's been making me more sick! I'm still taking my extra folic acid (just adding a pill to make up for the prenatal) so I'm not worried about that. I just wish I was more awake and not quite so brain dead. I mean come on - it's only Monday! This is ridiculous! But I just have to keep going. naps are starting to look very good when I get home!
Other than the extreme tiredness at work (much worse than on the weekends), nausea that really doesn't leave me (no actual though yet, so that's good), I'm doing pretty good. Now if this day would just end so I can get home and sleep...........
I totally agree with the sickness, it's really begining to do my head in now. Looks like were 3 days apart, so it's good to see im not the only one experiencing all these things at this time!!
