Seriously, I was just about to post this! Lol

I feel like garbage today.

Fell asleep nice and early last night but woke up before 4AM super sick.

But I'm finally here at work hoping tea helps settle my stomach so I can get down some breakfast and power through the nausea. We have such an easy day today I really didn't want to use a sick day for it. Lunch, bowling, and then hopefully they let us go home early.

I'm also on the hunt for a rubber band so I don't have to keep my pants buttoned anymore. So. Much. Bloat.

[sarahandben108]

I'm here with my blump. I seriously look like I'm 4 months pregnant. I'm hiding it under looser tops. My pants are connected by a rubber band.

Cheerios, for the win! They've been a lifesaver and I need to start bringing more of them to work with me since I've been going through my container way too quickly. I guess today is better than yesterday, I don't feel quite as sick and the bloat seems to have gone down a little bit. I, too, have an easy day at work so that's nice.
I think we might have to tell FIL/SMIL this weekend. It's earlier than I wanted to, but we're going on vacation next week, and I'm dreading having to pretend that I feel alright when I don't. I figure if they know, they can cut some slack with the rest of the family.

[sarahandben108]

Holy crap that's huge. Sorry guys!

[gixgirl]

I feel so run down that I caved and took a personal day off from work just to sleep. Am I just forgetting that I was this tired the first time around, or am I crazy over here?? I have zero motivation.

[cakewench]

Yesterday I felt like complete garbage, constant nausea from about 9:30a to nearly 5p. I started feeling better right before I left work and sat at my desk shoveling Cheerios in my face because it was the first time I felt like eating all day.

Feeling better today (still exhausted), and thank god because my office building had their annual free spring breakfast. French toast and roasted potatoes and my tummy is happy this morning. I'll eat a salad and go for a walk later...

I think I started taking bloat pictures at 7wks so I have a comparison. H has surprisingly been cooperative with helping. But there is nothing showing at all.

They are having all day safety training at work today so I'm guessing I'll get a leftover boxed lunch. My HR lady has made it her goal to feed me since finding out.

+1 to the nausea. I have been running a fan in my office which is helping. Also I try to wear a dress at least one day a week to work just to give myself some breathing room.

Anyone else having pregnancy rage, lately?

Yes.  My students are really pushing my buttons.  It certainly doesn't help that we are on the home stretch of the school year and most of my kids have already given up on school because they are ready for summer vacation.

Yes. Work had been a royal cluster and I'm doing my best to not lose my temper or start crying.

sarahandben108, that's pretty much what I'm working with too. Solidarity

I feel so big. And so bloated. And so queasy.

I'm feeling a pronounced uptick in my anxiety this week, since (TW) with my first pregnancy, my last "good" ultrasound was mid-eighth week, and my missed miscarriage was diagnosed at 12w with baby measuring between 10-11 weeks. I have my scan this week on Friday, so hopefully that will calm my nerves. But I'm over here just remembering what it was like to feel so pregnant, and queasy, and have a giant blump at 10w, only to be given the worst news a few weeks later. I know this pregnancy is different. I know the past doesn't dictate the future. I'm a lot calmer than I was with my pregnancy with L. It just feels like a very tenuously controlled calm that could blow into full blown panic at any moment. One day at a time.

[mrscatfarmer13]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. DC parents are sending me over the edge parking is handicap spots. It doesn't even impact me, but it gives me all the rage because there's plenty of parking and I've seen several grandparents pick up kids on the regular.

Hugs! I am also super worried about a MMC and don't have my first appointment until tomorrow. Deep breathes.  One day at a time.

Good luck tomorrow sarahandben108. I know this long wait has been brutal for you. Hopefully it puts your mind at ease.

[ldubhawksfan]

Home with DD today. No commute helped with my nausea. Between being tired and the politics news though, I'm really killing it with the parenting today..

Both. It's exhausting being pregnant, but so much more tiring with a kiddo.

Hugs. Milestones are hard. It gets better once you are past, but the fear doesn't really go away. I feel the same way since we made it to 11 weeks last loss. Passed my 9 week milestone with good looking USs and then was blindsided. That is why I'm really not attaching until after the NT scan. I have another US Friday too. I'll be ththe baking if you!

LT for commseration. I'm so tired. I hope you get some much needed rest today.

YES.

Sorry I'm yelling, that's the rage coming through. I especially feel it while driving.

[gixgirl]

Thanks jrun2013 and ldubhawksfan . I have my first ob appointment on Monday and I'm thinking I need to have a serious talk with her about depression. I thinks it's making me feel even more tired than I physically am, which is not good.

Another LT for commiseration. I'm the same way right now. Calm, but it can turn on a dime.

OMG my road rage is terrible too.

[jrun2013]

Has anyone noticed vision changes? I think the hormones make it so I can't focus when reading. I stopped at he dollar store yesterday and bought three pairs of reading glasses to help me out.

[jrun2013]

On the bright side of things, a student gave me a chocolate bar and a scratch off lottery ticket (that's weird right?) saying they won the lottery with me as their teacher and I won $10!

Maybe that's why drivers were pissing me off so much yesterday--I hadn't put that together, but probably should have since my audio book was also making me cry.

I've been feeling so sick that my anxiety over a possible MC has reduced a little, but I know it's a false sense of security and now I'm going to have to be a little more realistic. Since this is my first pregnancy, I don't have milestones but I know it's always possible that this one won't stick. I hope I feel a little better about things after next week's appointment but even then, I know nothing is guaranteed.

[belle0720]

jrun2013 My vision got horrible when I was pregnant with DD! By the end I couldn't even read the grocery store aisle signs. And then a while after I'd had her I suddenly realized I could see fine again.

One of my BFFs is an optician and said it's not uncommon for your prescription to change during pregnancy. I don't even wear glasses so it was so strange.
