Being pregnant SUCKS!

Yup!  This is going to be one of those terribly negative posts.  If you don't want to hear a pregnant woman complain, x out now.

K, I am soooo miserable!  The nausea is unbearable. I'm nauseous all day every day. It started October 1st and I have been sick ever since!  Nothing helps!  All I want to do is stay home in bed and hope to sleep for the rest of the 1st trimester.  I pray.  I PRAY for the end of nausea in the 2nd trimester!
I've tried everything to combat it.  Crackers, ginger, ginger snaps, sex, vitamin b6, small spread out meals, sitting still, breathing, laying still...  NOTHING.
unfortunately I still have to go to work.  Kids dont really understand that teacher needs a moment of peace and quiet!  I also haven't officially told the adults yet either. I did tell a few other teachers who I'm friends with outside of work as well as a few other teachers who announced they were preg.  I just told a few teachers who don't know me well and their reaction was a little negative "who's the father!?".   I didn't think about how people would react negatively because I'm not married.   To the second lady who asked me that I said "My fiancĂ©, (his name) but I don't think you know him.    I mean want do they think of me!?  But any way, that's besides the point.  I'm going to tell everyone about it next week after my drs appt. I will be 11 weeks then. Not quite 12 weeks but damn close considering all the nausea and vomitting I've lived with, silently.
The nausea has taken a steady yet slow progression towards torture. Finally week 9 and 10 has included projectile vomitting.   Its almost like anything I eat comes right back up. But if I don't eat I throw up any way. It's like nasty acidic bile.  And I feel sick all day long. I get little to no break. Nothing sound particularly appealing to eat.  I try to eat things on the bland side because even though there is a good chance I'll throw it up, for the time it stays in my stomach it will remain some what settled.  
This morning on the way to work, as I was driving I was gagging and finally had the strong urge to throw up. I put my hazards on and pulled over to the emergency lane opened up my door leaned over and spewed my guts out.  Cars were honking there horns as they passed so I got out of the car and stood in a safer place and let her rip.  I felt relief for a little while until i got hunger nausea.
Anyway, pregnancy, sucks!

btw my first OB visit is

Oct 26th.  It's for an ultrasound, nurse visit and dr visit.  The dr I chose just came back from amternity leave.  Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.  But I have a good feeling about it.

5 weeks and 9 days? (old post I never completed or published til now)


I guess I'm 5 weeks and 9 days..  I'm supposed to calculate that from the 1st day of my last period right?

6 weeks and 6 days

So I haven't been here in a long while!!!  Well here's what's new:

1. So much for not feeling anything!  Hello Nausea city!  It's an aweful feeling.  I gag several times a day.  Forget what you've heard.  Morning sickness is not just for the morning.  Throughout the whole day I feel a constant just sick nauseating feeling.  If I eat too much, if I don't eat, if I sit up to fast, if I move too fast...whatever...NAUSEA!!  I have to say though, this all just started during week 6.  I felt mild nausea before but this past week has been the most intense thus far. 

(So I guess I'm 6 weeks preg.  If I were to count the week of my last period that would be 7 weeks but I don't think you're supposed to.  So I'm 6 weeks.)

2.  Weight gain.  I've gained 5 pounds.  During week 5 I had and insane appetite.  I wanted to eat EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME!!!  I was ridiculously hungry all. the. time!  So now I'm at 160lbs (I'm 5'8")

3.  Huge boobs!  DARK nipples, with an even darker outline on the edges.  My boobs are always falling out of my bra.  But I'm not buying a new bra just yet.  I'm already a 34DD.  Vicky's don't make bras bigger than that....I think.  I know a lot of people hate Vicky's but she's been good to me.

4.  Holy mood swings batman!  I cried hard over a funny story a friend was telling me about when she was a child sleeping with her mother.  Something a about her sleeping wild and her mom just taking it made me soo sad. 
Then last night I was havinga break down.  Crying sooo hard, because we ran out of toilet paper and I needed to blow my nose!!!  LOL  I knew it was ridiculous as I was doing it but it just got to me.  Straight to the core!  My BF knelt down on the side of the bed to, what I thought was console me, but instead he PROPOSED TO ME!!!!!  
I LOVE my ring!  It's perfect!  Simple, daintly, just the right amount of showiness but not over done.  VERY taseful.  Very beautiful.  Just perfect.
 
So I'm on cloud9 today.  Nausea has teaken a back seat for today.
 
I also told my mother I was pregnant last night.  She was happy.  And I'm happy.
 
Talk to you soon <3
