So we went camping this past weekend. Little bouts of nausea here and there, but nothing horrible. The tiredness though is already setting in. Saturday afternoon I was so tired I layed down in the trailer and took a nap. I never take naps. But this one did me good.
Aversions - I have been having a harder time with sweet foods, loving the fresh produce and savory. Caprese salads still too - weird. And my favorite salted caramel ice cream? AB brought it to me in the trailer last night and after three bites I thought I was going to be sick. Strange.
So I did make a phone call on Thursday and told my good friend who I work closely with. I needed to tell him why I couldn't go in and work on the pyrolysis products. And once I told him I was expecting I was happy that he immediately said, "no way can you go in and work on that!" I wasn't just being overly paranoid.
We talked a little more - about like that I won't be going to New Orleans in early April to accept our third award for our work. (He isn't sure he will go to Orlando in November to help accept our second award since his wife is expecting in January.) Then we talked logistics of baby stuff - how long they might need some of the baby items before handing them back to us.
Though he is one of my closest coworkers/friends it was very difficult to tell him I was pregnant. And it still feels a little weird that aside from AB and I, that he is the only other person who knows. We are in theory waiting to tell everyone until after the 8 week appointment... though there could be circumstances that pop up before and we won't deny it!
I am looking for a clever way to tell friends and family. I need to look around for ideas...
