For some reason I couldn't fall asleep last night even though I was really tired. I finally fell asleep at like 11pm. DS woke up screaming at 1am and didn't go back down until almost 4:30. I am so tired that I was dry heaving into the sink when I woke up. I can't tell if this is ms starting or I'm just wicked tired. I didn't even hear DH leave. He must be really tired too because he usually gets up at 5am. Today is going to be rough. Thank god it's a half day for the kids.
I slept really well from about 10-4, then I hear MH moving around. It turns out we caught a mouse in our vent. They found a way to get into the vent, H thought he sealed it up, but obviously they found a way back in. Then DD needed a quick cuddle around 5, I finally start to drift back off to sleep, then another mouse. I think we need to burn our house down. Hopefully H will figure out how they're getting into the vent and fix it for good.
Yesterday I hit 8 weeks and it was such a struggle of a day
In addition to nausea I started to have nagging, constant abdominal pain - something that feels in between gas and a cramp, but on the front and sides of my belly. Also I was starving all day, but every time I started to eat something I craved, I felt immediately overly full and sick. By dinnertime I was just so frustrated. I sat at the table and cried over the thai food I'd ordered but couldn't eat. I feel like such a baby. Doing everything I can to make today a better one.

This is me. Weird cramping/bloated/gassy feeling around my bellybutton and lower abdomen. I am also 8 weeks. I have read that it can be caused by your uterus stretching. I'm trying to keep positive that this is what it is. As for the eating, I am feeling the same way. I border between a nauseous-hungry feeling. I am trying to eat more frequently with smaller amounts. When I sit down for dinner I have noticed lately I can't finish it either.
sarahandben108, I'm sorry you're feeling this way too, but it's comforting to know I'm not the only one! I read the same thing about the pains being normal for this stage. My goal today is to eat something small every hour so that I'm never hungry nor full.
I am either nauseous or exhausted or both. Right now, I'm exhausted. All I want to do is sleep. I wish I had taken a personal day.
I have a huge conference presentation tomorrow. I need to get some more rest so I don't look/feel like a zombie. This is my first big professional speaking appearance, so send good vibes please. Here's hoping I don't make my firm look bad!
Not much going on here on this Wednesday. It's Administrative Professionals Day, so I get Thai food for lunch which would sound better if I weren't bloated already. I had to add a bit of regular coffee into my Keurig this morning in the hopes that the caffeine gets things moving a little bit. If it doesn't, I'm in for an uncomfortable day. Tonight, I need to work out and then go to the library to pick up some holds that have come in.
So I'm pretty sure my daughter(22mo) was sleep walking last night. She talks in her sleep sometimes and we think she has night terrors from time to time and it's awful when that happens, but this was really weird. She was sleeping in our bed and I woke up at some point to see her standing facing our headboard and it looked like she was grabbing the top of the headboard, almost like she was trying to climb on top of it or something? I said "Baby what are you doing?", she looked straight at me, said, "Mama" (pretty loudly) and then kinda fell/lunged forward into my arms and was out like she had never been awake. I've always had intense dreams, talk in my sleep a ton, and sleep walked a few times when I was little, so I'm not surprised. But this was still really weird!

Just got to my nurse appointment and as I said before it's a group thing. I'm the only one here without DH. They didn't say he had to come when I made the appointment and I'm kinda like hey how'd all you guys get out of work?!
As for me, DD and I took a Target trip this morning. I barely scraped by under $100 bucks, so I consider it a huge success. Still not quite sure if I got the 5 things I went in there for, but we had a fun time anyway. Just a relaxing day on the agenda. She's down for a nap (hopefully) so I plan on doing the same. I'm just counting down the hours until my appointment tomorrow!
Is anyone else getting an error message on mobile saying that Dec '17 page is unavailable? I've been having issues since last night, but it's working fine from our desk top. Weird.

Good luck! My hubs isn't coming with me to the first appointment (tomorrow!!!). He came to every single one with DD, but I feel like it might be different this go around. He doesn't think I'll be able to talk them into an ultrasound, so he couldn't take the day off on a possible chance that I do get one. FaceTime will have to do if I am able to work my magic and get one. Let us know how it all goes!
Also, my good friend has offered to go with me to my appointment tomorrow. She just had a miscarriage last month. I have all the feels about it, and I'm just not sure what to do. It would really help to have someone there that I know loves and supports me. She would also keep DD for me in the waiting room so I don't have to stress over that. I just remember how I felt when my loss was that fresh, and I can guarantee you I wouldn't have been stepping foot in an OB office. Thoughts? Am I over thinking this?
cutay, I would feel weird about it bc I also had a hard time with my losses, but if she's the type of person who knows herself and is offering/wouldn't be negatively affected, I'd accept her support.
Sorry for all the tiredness and nausea going around today.
@officedronette, good luck on your presentation tomorrow! You got this.
belle0720, the sleepwalking would have freaked me out! I don't wake up well and would have been so confused.
babydsmama, my H comes with me to each appointment. I've told him it doesn't matter to me, but he wants to be there. We always make them for first thing in the AM (8:20am) so we're both almost on time for work.

Turns out H's really didn't need to be there at all. We literally watched a PowerPoint and filled in our charts. My first OB appointment is the 8th. Hoping I can get DD into daycare that morning bc DH will be away for work. 😕

I got DD into hourly care for the morning of my appointment thank God! I was worried I would have to cancel and my anxiety about putting my appointment off even until the 8th was getting me upset today. I can't see an endocrinologist until I see the OB and at first they had scheduled my appointment for the 17th!!! The nurse was like oh you should be fine until then! Ummm no I need to see an endocrinologist yesterday. I started to tear up and she moved my appointment up 1.5 weeks.
So, am I the only bottomless pit then? I feel like I'm constantly hungry. I need to get this under control so I don't wind up 800 pounds by the time this is all said and done.

I'll sit on this bench with you. Gimme all the food.
jrun2013, you're definitely not the only one who's been eating all the things. I've got to slow my roll... with my daughter, I was super careful, worked out all the time, etc. Now I'm lying in bed after eating enough bread for a family. Uh oh.
+1 to all the food. I just ate a huge dinner and I'm thinking about the left over Mac n Cheese in the fridge. Guess what will be my brunch tomorrow between breakfast and lunch?
As of last week I'm +4# at 8wk but I'm blaming some of that on increased water intake, constipation, and boob growth.
I'm not looking forward to the scale post vacation, but we usually walk 20-25k steps a day when we are in Vegas. I'm just going to say the extra dessert covers the alcohol I'm not drinking.
Send T&Ps because H has one speed and I'm going to need naps to keep up.

Yup me too. I get more nauseous when I get hungry so I'm literally eating all the time. I have snacks in my nightstand so I can eat when I get up to pee at 2 am.

DD woke with her eye crusted close.....the one random night when she woke at 3:30, wouldn't fall back asleep so I took her into the guest rm and slept with her. Fan-fucking-tastic. Pink eye confirmed. Got her the drops tonight, and of course it says not safe for pregnancy unless gains outweigh risks. Dh and I were going to preemptively use them tonight because chances are we are getting it. Now I have to wait to call my OB tomorrow and pray my eyes are ok.
