Nervous Again

by

This is quite a roller coaster ride . . . and I’ve never enjoyed roller coasters. I had a long day today – I woke up early to bake and decorate a cake for Heather’s open house for her new business. Then, I came home, made a pasta salad, and went off to a bbq/poker night at Niki’s house. We were out until about 12:30, and when I got home . . . I discovered that I’m spotting again. I’m so worried something is wrong with this baby, and I just don’t know how I can handle that.

I was feeling so great today. Well, maybe great is the wrong word – nauseated most of the day, but excited that my symptoms were getting worse. At the BBQ tonight, one of my friends unintentionally made another obnoxious comment about me not being pregnant. For the first time, the comment made me smile because I knew that I AM PREGNANT!! It was just so nice not to be devastated by those little comments. We were surrounded by babies at this party, and two of my friends are pregnant, and I was so excited to be thinking “me, too!”

I hope this spotting is nothing. I’m going to go upstairs and rest, and hope it is all gone by morning, and that everything goes well at the u/s on Tuesday.

Let the morning sickness begin

by

It does look like it is that time already . . . for the past week or so, I have had some nausea in the mornings when I wake up. Overall, it has not been particularly significant. Up until today, a little food generally made it disappear. Once or twice I thought it would progress, but luckily the urge to vomit quickly passed. Yesterday, however, I had a meeting downtown, and decided to take the train. Perhaps that wasn’t one of my better decisions, considering that I was dealing with nausea on and off throughout the day. I should mention that on a good day, I am prone to motion sickness. Naturally, the beginnings of morning sickness mixed with motion sickness was not a good combination. I had a rough ride home!

Once again, today the nausea has been coming in waves. It doesn’t help that Elliot likes to make . . . shall we say interesting food for dinner? The smells are making me unbelievably sick! Anyone want to start a pool on when will be the first day I puke?
