Some internet people say I'm 7 weeks and some say I'm 8. I'm just telling everyone - of the very few that we are telling that I am 2 months and darn sick to boot.
I really can't complain all that much. I felt pretty hot on friday - Saturday not so much but it felt good to get out and the barbeque at Irenes was fun and totally got my mind off up chucking for a few hours!
Sunday wasn't bad either - I think if i'm doing stuff i'm much better.... but sitting here at work ugh save me now.
I am just counting down the days till Saltspring TWO WEEKS AND 1 day! When I can hang my hippie growing by the minute belly out for the world to see! They don't care over there, and I can walk around in the fresh air and swim in cusheon lake again with my everexpanding waistline! Because they just don't care over there........ can we please move to saltspring and away from corporate america!

FRIDAY
Today was I think the first almost close to normal day ever since the onset of the sickness ALL FRIGGIN DAY! I am going home to clean and get ready for the Piano to be removed from my home tommorow! Happy Weekend to all and to all a good night!
Back to 7
Okay I found out last night when i get my emailed update from Pregnancy weekly that actually I am only 7 weeks and some days.... boo hooo. Oh well I really can't complain....... I feel half normal today for the first day in weeks. I did the cookie (chocolate covered digestive beside the bed for when i get up in the morning thing) WONDERFUL. Still quesalitious but much better.
Actually it kinda freaks me out a little. You know how everyone says that the sicker you are the more healthy the kid, well it freaked me out like hey all the symptoms are gone am I going to have a miscarriage? So then I realized my extremley sensitve cup over floweth breasts where still overflowing and still sore so that made me feel better. So as a treat Karen is out right now buying me a decaf caramel machiato - i know i know it's decaf - BUT it is a caramel machiatto people! I will take what i can get.... if that had decaf amaretto i'd be in heaven.

8 Weeks
WOOT WOOT.... we're at 8 weeks and still nauseas. mmmmmmm fun. Right now all i want to eat is Soup soup and more soup, and a side of refried beans. MMMMM. Really wondering if I will ever be normal again. I am wearing my fat pants to work today..... and will most likely be wearing them everyday until I get some new ones that are not so darn heartburn inducing tight.

Tummy Troubles
Still nauseas. ugh. Double ugh. And it just isn't going away. Today is my last day at 7 weeks preggers and tommorow I start week 8.... so hang on baby hang on. The good sign is that they say the more sick you feel the healthier the pregnancy so this kid's gotta be primo primo in there. Last night I had the ladies over from ROCA and we all had margarita's made by Judith. Of course after the pestered me for the 3rd time to drink i had to break the news. I don't even think i spoke the words "i'm pregnant" i think i just said tonight i will be drinking ginger ale.... and then the hoots and hollars began - so it was fun. Next weekend (not this upcoming one) we tell my dad's family. Little nervous but hopefully everything will go well. Now if i could just ease up on the heartburn, and nausea i'd be a happy girl, oh ya and one other thing, Why if i am only 8 weeks pregnant are my pants too tight?????????? People please don't let this be an indication of fatness to come!

New Week New Monday
Okay had NO idea nausea can be this bad. Oh boy is it ever going to be a LONG 9 months.... well technically I only have 7 and a half months.... and technically on 7 months left at work...WOOOHOO....... the only way i feel remotley better is to lie down, so all i can say is i have been sleeping for up to 14 hours a night people! Oh well. I booked my first pre-natal appt for August 15 so will know loads more then. And am still deciding when to tell work. I think I'm going to try to hold out until about September? If i'm not showing? Which as my mother tells me every time she sees me "you look like your getting fat, don't eat so much" I doubt i won't be showing. Karen also gave me a lovely journal to record all the baby stuff in..... it's super cute and I can't wait to dive into it! I just feel so sick ugh.

Thursday
Am dying at reception. Everytime you need to go to the washroom you need to call down and get coverage. And unfortunatley the coverage is not on your time or your terms, if they're busy then you wait.... my gawd do you wait. I am actually looking forward to monday when i can pee whenever the heck i need to pee.
By the way I am dying from the nausea too, but G gave me sea bands and they seem to be working somewhat - if i placed them properly that is... hmm

Wednesday
Doctor Calling.....
and my HcG levels are doubling nicely, everything looks great! And yes my very own doctor called and left the message herself, NOT the receptionist who is kinda out of it everytime i'm in there. Yipee! Now can we please stop the all day at work sickness. How the heck am I going to keep that from everyone at work for 3 months?

I am so scared of having a miscarriage, so to make myself feel better I buy two super cute onesies at costco! I take them home and realize one of them has flowers on it- oops.

Sunday Morning
I, even after having gone to bed at like midnight, wake up at like 4:30 am. I lie in bed until 5, at 5 I can't wait anymore, i head to the toilet, and pee on the stick. The positive line appears instantly.I call J. We are ecstatic.We take pictures with the test and us and a paper that says hi grandma and grandpa we email them off to our parents and then call them to tell them to look at the emails.They are super happy. J's mom gives us a lesson on Biology and tells us the fetus doesn't attach until the third month so don't say anything to work. and don't dye your hair or drink alchohol.My mom goes out and buys us a book and baby spoons. And she actually is tearing up as she gives them to us.

My First Ultrasound Experience
Wake up - day 12 of high temps. YAY. J calls boss, tells him i need him to drive me to the hospital to get ultrasound because i can't hold that much pee and walk. Boss tells him no problem.I drink my water. I get to choices market and buy our lunchies. I am dying to pee at this point and it's only 10 to 9 and my appt isn't until 9:30am. AGHArrive at Ultrasound dept. Man fights with women in waiting room about changing the channel on the tv. They are both a bunch of babies.I wait, clenching my bladder closed.I walk up to the desk and say - I cannot hold this anylonger can i pee and then drink more water?I am given the go ahead.I feel the best relief in the universe in that washroomI go back to my chair and wait.The TV is still on SoccorOf course the jerk of a man wins the argument with like 10 women who DON"T watch soccor in the room.I am glad J isn't here because he's always sticking up for people and getting into trouble.I wait - I drink very minimal waterI ask the Bus Driver next to me the time so that I can wind up my watch.He tells me - It's 9:45 - 15 minutes past my timeI need to pee againI go back up to the desk and ask the lady if i may please pee just a little bit out.She is so nice and gets me a cup and draws a line of how much i can let out and tells me sorry about the wait but they had a collapse and they are dealing with that right now.I again experience the best relief in the universe in that toilet.I sit back down and start drinking VERY slowly and VERY little because by now i know my bladder pretty darn good and i don't really need to drink all that much liquid because it's filling up so darn fast on it's own right now.I wait moreand moreand then Two armed guards stroll in with an Inmate - fully cuffed with all the tatoos and everything, very young and scary looking. I guess they need tests done too.I wait moreWondering what the inmate is in here forMy name is called by lovely spanish manI say thank god, louder than i thought and here a few giggles.I practically jump out of my chair and run to himhe introduces me to a dutch doctor student in training, he calls me by the proper pronunciation of my name.I laugh trying so hard not to pee all over the floor.They tell me tie on my backI lie on my stomachthen they tell me to lie on my back againAnd i make a stupid joke about my bladder being so full i can't think properly.Again clenching bladder muscles tightThey lookThey Talk a lot in lingo I don't understandThey tell me everything looks goodThen they tell me to relive myselfI run to the washroomThis is the third time I have gone in this hospitalI come backthey do more camera stuff and ooh and aaah about how much easier it is to see everythingI guess i was clenching so hard that the full bladder actually hindered my ultrasoundSo they look and they see and the ooh and the aaah and talk in more lingo i don't understandThen they tell me to go wait in the wait room with the crazy soccer freaks and we might need to do a tampon camera test will let you knowI sit downand wait againthey come out and say nope your good to goand I leave
