And I still can’t believe we haven’t really told anyone!
Let’s see, general update:
Puking every morning – check, got that one down.
General nausea – check, all day long. Mastered that one.
Headaches – Very sick of them thank you.
Fatigue – Excuse me while I go take a nap, I will come back to this later…
I think I can deal with the puking every morning. I have learned not to eat first, because it just means that whatever I throw up I don’t want to eat anymore ever ever again. And I already have enough stuff on my list that I don’t want to eat. Anyways, it would be nice to not puke every day, but it isn’t like with Skadi where I was puking round the clock. Nausea I can somewhat control at this point by not letting myself get too hungry – of course that means that I am eating a ton of carbs… and being a pain in the rear about meetings that are back to back to back or span the lunch hour. Also I am sure I am starting my weight gain early.
But what is really driving me absolutely batty is the fatigue. My poor kids get to the afternoon and want to actually DO stuff. I get to 2-3pm and if I don’t lay down and take a nap I will probably fall down. And take a nap. This fatigue is killer this time around. I get home from work to meet the bus and can barely keep my eyes open.
I had a good 8 week appointment. I think Dr. M was a bit surprised to see me sitting there. Ok, he actually said as much. We had long discussions about complications and potential issues given the fact that I am 40. I decided on a moderate level of testing – Ultrasound at 10-11 weeks, quad screen at about 14 weeks and only if those items and the big ultrasound at 18 weeks are questionable, then an amnio. Would rather not pursue the amnio if we don’t really need to.
