5w3d - 14% - no amount of sleep will suffice

the other night, i had a dream in which i had two naps
that about sums up how i've been feeling. i've had a nap every day for the last week. i need to ween myself off them, because i should be working instead of sleeping! today i had to stay home to work (there was a delivery scheduled), and i ended up falling asleep on the couch at 11am. 11am! what the hell. i feel entirely useless these last couple of days, and i'm thankful the semester is just starting and people haven't really started working in earnest yet. but i gotta start being functional soon or someone's gonna notice!
besides fatigue, i've been great. i've been queasy here and there (mostly at night), but nothing terrible. my boobs are tender still. i have acne galore. but i love it. love love love it.
what i do not love are my experiences with my doctor. i went yesterday to confirm the pregnancy and had to wait an hour. then she basically just sat and typed on her computer for five minutes and left before i could ask her everything. i feel like i'm interrupting her work whenever i ask a question, which ticks me off cause it's my friggin appointment! i was bummed because the recurrent loss clinic had called the week before and said that they wouldn't see me if i was pregnant, but told me that i should get a requisition now for lab work in case anything went wrong with this one. the one thing they tell me to do and my doc just says she prefers to be optimistic and refused to prepare for anything going wrong.
i basically had to demand she at least check my beta levels, which she agreed to finally. only when i went for the draw this morning, i was surprised to find out that she ordered one beta draw, not two. what the hell is the point of that?! annoyed. if it wasn't so impossible to find a doctor in this city, i would be looking for another one.
what else? oh, have a i mentioned i've been somewhat emotional lately? hah. this morning, i teared up at a lifeline commercial. i just looked at my fiance and said 'but what if she falls and she really can't get up?!'. he just looked up me and then we both burst out laughing. i can appreciate when i'm being hormonal still, but i can't believe that, of all things, got to me!
