Tonight is the first time I’ve felt good in ooh about 2 weeks. Not sick, actually energetic, positive. I’ve had morning sickness pretty much continuously. Not vomiting, just a low level of continuous nausea that has just zapped me. It’s got so that I can’t look at a baby book without feeling sick. I think I must finally be getting a handle on what to eat and when to counteract it.  Anyway, I don’t want to speak too soon because I know it could be a gazillion times worse, and at least I can function. Also, it turns out I’m only 7 turning 8 weeks along so I could have another month of this at least.

I went to my first obstetrician appointment on Friday. The doc was nice and so was the midwife. The appointment took a while and the doc did a scan to determine age. He had a bit of trouble measuring the peanut but he got it at 7 weeks 2 days. This means the peanut is 5.2 weeks old and that I probably ovulated when I thought I did – 3 weeks after my period finished. Stupid irregular cycle. It also means the peanut is due Nov 12, not Oct 29.  Anyway we saw the peanut and it’s little heart beat and got a print out of the piccy. I’m all booked in for the 12 week scan and associated blood tests and have appointments all the way through set up with the obstetrician.

Pregnancy so far – first few weeks, good, aside from sore boobs, wondering if I was pregnant etc. Then I got really hungry one day and then morning sickness hit. Morning sickness has been a bitch and I got rather depressed about it the Thursday night before Easter because nothing was fun anymore just nauseating and there was soo much to do and I didn’t feel like doing any of it.  But some time off over easter spent with the family cheered me up even though this week has been worse MS wise. I have to have milk in the morning, I’ve discovered and eat early. A proper lunch seems to help too.

Apart from that, my breasts are still tender and I get tired easily. Oh and I get emotional over weird things. Like bumper stickers.

ETA: just read over my old posts – my ovulation was even later than I thought it was – must have been when I was having the cramps in the morning. Or possibly I had conceived then? Interesting to see what age they give the peanut at the next scan.
