Things to remember when the time comes.

8 Weeks Pregnant

Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:28:45 -0400

First doctor’s appointment came and went. Had my first ultrasound because of my irregular cycles. Got to see the little peanut and hear the heart beat. Definitely made everything seem more real.

Official due date is Nov 4.

Morning sickness has taken a turn for the worst. Before it was 24/7 nausea. Then Monday it became extreme nausea and vomiting. Yuck. Even in spite of my previous nausea medication. Boo.

Today started to feel like more of the same, but I’m trying out some new nausea medication. Hopefully I keep doing well.

My job is starting to take some serious hits now. Not even focusing on the just being tired and exhausted and not having everything that I used to give to work - nausea, vomiting, and having to pee all the time are definitely making it hard to do my job.

I’m do in home sales for a heating and air conditioning company. I’m in a home for about 2 to 3 hrs or even longer. I’m not supposed to use a customer’s bathroom while I’m there, for a wide variety of reasons. My umph is already gone - and then add in vomiting!?! Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to do this?

Well, before yesterday - I wouldn’t drink hardly anything before appointments or in between appointments. And then would come home and drink as much as I could stand - because staying hydrated is hugely important to health, especially while pregnant. So I’d be sluggish all day, then I would be up all night having to pee, so then I could be exhausted and sluggish the next day.

My boss is totally freaking out about me being pregnant. And totally asking way more of me than I can give and am willing to give. I have to take care of myself - especially now.

At some point push is going to come to shove, and I’m going to need to be looking for a new job. Not a huge deal - once I took the sales job, I went from hourly to commission based, and my income was severely cut. We don’t have the techs and availability to accommodate enough installations that I can make a good income. So looking back, it was a mistake to take the position.

I did have one good week. The one good week the other areas of our business was slow, so I had the techs open. I killed myself that week. I put in 60 hrs and for that - I made $10.50 an hour that week. I was making $13 as an admin assistant and I loved it. Most weeks I make about minimum wage. Hugely demotivating.

So now that I’m pregnant, why bother? I guess I’m just waiting for the final straw to break.

Here’s hoping for the best.

First Dr. appointment Coming Up!

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:42:00 -0500

I am so thrilled to be expecting. My first dr. appointment is Tuesday and I can’t wait. They wanted me to come in at 8 weeks - they calculated it by LMP. I have a long cycle. I tried to tell the receptionist that, but she didn’t seem phased. So I’m sure I won’t be 8 weeks when I go in, maybe 7. So I hope it doesn’t make any of the tests or check ups more difficult. I didn’t fight with the receptionist too much, I just want to go in and get whatever I possibly can confirmed.

I’m technically obese, I have PCOS, and we were trying for 20 months before we conceived, but 12 of those months, my cycle was super out of wack.

So I don’t think I’m high risk, but I know being overweight and pregnant can be a concern, so I would just feel more relaxed about all of it when I can talk to a medical professional with tons of experience.

I think my husband its excited, but I also think he doesn’t really know what to do or think or expect or what his role is supposed to be in this whole thing. So I’m hoping he will come to the dr. with me and be able to talk with them and ask them questions and learn more about all of this.

I’m also thinking about going out and buying a hard copy of What To Expect for him. I have it on my nook, but he doesn’t really get the whole E-Book.

Congratulations! Don't have to worry about losing weight now, but stay healthy! Go for walks, do prenatal yoga, eat healthy because a healthy mama means a healthy baby!

Thank you! Absolutely plan on it. This is our first pregnancy, so as you can probably imagine we want more than anything for it all to go well and to have a happy and healthy addition to our family in 9 months!

We're Expecting!

So much for losing all the weight right now. I’ll have to revisit that idea in a while. Now it’s about being a healthy incubator for our baby. Looks like I’m due in November.
