I really hope work doesn't take too much time from TCFing today! It's been crazy busy lately and I'm ready to slow down a bit. But, it's almost the weekend!!

Hi, I was MIA all yesterday, which actually felt strange! Today, DH and I are going to New York, where we plan to eat at a lot of good restaurants (the reservation card is full) and see SNL. I'm excited, but I've entered a stage where very little food sounds good. Hoping it doesn't affect much. Also hoping I don't miss DD too much.

I have been so tired lately and I have to get up early all weeekend for work stuff and then next weekend I'm solo traveling with a 1 year old. Can it just be Thanksgiving yet?
I took a sick day yesterday because I felt like crap (fever, chills). Back at work today and regretting it. I think I kicked whatever bug I had, but the nausea and the hunger. Ugh.
Only 8 more days of classes until Thanksgiving break. Gimme all dat turkey.

After crying for a large portion of the night, of course dd is still asleep when I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't fall back asleep.
Of course she is still sleeping when I wanted to go out and run some errands before I go to work.
Of course she stayed asleep when I walked into her room a few minutes ago to check if she was still breathing but would wake up last night every time I blinked.
Of course she stayed asleep long enough for me to have a shower alone but I didn't bother because I thought she was going to wake up any second.
I have been sleeping terrible. Woke up last night at 2 and couldn't go back to sleep till three. At least today MH and I are getting massages!
OMG I totally need a massage. My massage therapist won't see me until 12 weeks though, but I'm almost there! I should actually book an appointment. I totally understand not sleeping well. I've been waking up at 2-3am every night and cannot get back to sleep, in many cases I've been up until morning. I've been really stressed out with work recently, and worrying about the pregnancy isn't helping. And I always used to be the type who sleeps through the night, but having to get up to pee jolts me wide awake without fail.
It's pretty early, but I've decided I'm going to try and hunt down a heartbeat today with my good ole' Sonoline B.
My logic is that while I might not be able to find it yet (I'll be 8 weeks on Saturday), I'll never be able to say that I found it this early if I don't try. I'm not generally a "freaker-outer," so I think I'll be okay either way.
I was awake last night from 3-5. My dog woke me up to go out, and I couldn't get back to sleep. Then my mind starts going places it shouldn't. I know I've said it before, but I really wish I had more symptoms. It would put my worrying at ease.
So very tired today, and I even slept well last night. I have nothing planned for the day, so that doesn't help. I already went grocery shopping. Maybe I will try to keep busy with laundry and cleaning tasks. I would love for the house to be nice and clean when DH gets home from Germany on Saturday. But I doubt that will happen!!
Help me feel less guilty. I took my first sick day ever today. After my shower this morning I felt incredibly dizzy and nauseous. I couldn't shake the dizziness so I put in for a sick day only an hour and 15 before the start of the school day because I was concerned about driving. I just checked and it never got filled, so there has probably been a scramble to get people in my room all day. I know it is silly, but I'm consumed with anxiety right now for putting people out. i don't know if this was just a pregnancy thing or a little bit of a reaction to my flu shot yesterday, but hopefully it doesn't happen again.
vivela, don't feel guilty! Sick days are something you can't always plan for and driving when you're dizzy is a terrible idea. Rest up today and hope you feel better soon!

Dizziness and driving do not mix! Don't feel guilty - you have to be safe! I'm sure they handled it. Are you feeling any better now?

vivela, no guilt! No one plans for being sick. It would be the same thing if one of your non-pregnant colleagues woke up with the flu. Take care of yourself today and hope you feel better!
I'm not sure if it's related but I also felt really lousy after my flu shot. I was about 6 weeks. I've had the flu shot every year for 10+ years and have never had any reactions to it, but this year I got it in the morning and by the end of the work day all I could do was go home, take a Tylenol, and curl up into a fetal position for the whole night. I was fine by the next morning. I guess immune reaction + 1st trimester isn't a great combination.
Another unpleasant night of sleep here. Sleep has generally been ok recently but mainly because I've been going to bed at 8/8:30.
I have 2 days left at my current job, so far this week I've had all of 50 minutes of actual work to do. I really hope things continue this way. Despite that, perhaps due to lack of sleep, I'm just not in a good mood today.
Kevinmac, I feel ya, hugs. It's so hard for your mind not to wander to a bad place when you lack symptoms. I've had very mild symptoms so far, and I can definitely relate. PgAL brain certainly doesn't help things either. Just try to remain as calm and positive as possible. Today, you are pregnant.
Kevinmac, I'm sorry you're feeling anxious. FWIW, I had minimal symptoms when I was pregnant with my son and he's a crazy little 3 year old now so everything worked out just fine. I had noticeable symptoms when I had my loss, and well...that didn't end so well. Symptoms are just one piece of the puzzle and really aren't a great indication of how well things are going. I hope you can get in to see your doc soon for some reassurance. I'll be thinking of you!

Oh man, our kids must have had a meeting last night and discussed that they would torture us last night. I hope she sleeps better tonight
vivela don't feel guilty! You did the right thing. I hope you are able to rest up today and can start fresh tomorrow. Then it's the weekend! Relax... They will be just fine
