6 weeks today =) (I think)

According to this I am 6 weeks today =). I don't know exactly how far along I am though, since I was on the pill it's possible I'm not quite that far. I made a doctors appointment for a little later this week, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to tell me or what exactly they'll do.

Today the nausea turned into full on vomit. I'd been feeling really sick, but I hadn't tossed my cookies until today. I can't seem to keep anything down, and the last few weeks nothing has tasted good so I've been loosing weight- I'm hoping that's okay. I've been physically kind of miserable since day 1- I've had a constant headache for almost a month now, and as soon as it's gone- it comes right back. I've also had a back problem for years, and it's been more touchy than normal since this all started. I hope once I'm farther along I'll start to feel more normal.

My boyfriend has been really sportive. He's looking for ways to cut back money so that he could afford to take care of both of us on his paycheck (which doesn't look doable to me), but he's trying. His mom rents out apartments, so he's looking to see if she thinks a place will open up before the 9 months is over. The goal is for me to move out of the dorm by January and get the money for it back (which will go back to my parents). Right now my boyfriend and I are working to save up- only getting what we absolutely need so we'll have some wiggle room later. We're planning on not having my paycheck because I don't know how my boss will take it, but I'll get back to that in a minute.

My boyfriend and I want to tell our parents together, but my parents live so far away I'll probably need to tell them over the phone. Since it's unplanned, I think I need to tell them sooner rather than later, if it were planned and they knew we were trying I'd wait a little longer. I'm hoping they take it okay. I don't think they'll be too happy so I'm a little stressed about telling them. I might tell my sister first.

My boss- I was basically hired right when I got pregnant, but I didn't know I was pregnant. I was hired to coach gymnastics to replace another pregnant coach who's about 6 months along. Coaching is very physical, and she'll need to step away soon. She already cannot spot anymore. I don't know what the payment arrangement for her is. I feel like my boss won't take it well, and I'm not sure when or how to tell her.
