Had First Ultrasound. All Ok But I Feel Lousy!

Stayed home for cyber Monday today and thank God I did. I've had GI problems all day long and I just feel plain old lousy. I wonder if it's really some time of bug? Or if it's just pregnancy symptoms I'm feeling. Either way, there is no way I can go to work and focus on a daily basis if this is the way it's going to be. I have a 3 hour commute per day to boot. I hope I can keep it together until the second trimester!
So the ultrasound showed a single pregnancy (once again, thank the Lord). I was 5.6 weeks at the time. Embryo measures 2mm with a heart rate of 124 BPM. Seems a little high to me, but what do I know? I saw the teeny weeny heart beating too. Made me weepy, but I had to be stoic because I had it done at work and I didn't want to fall apart there. Have an image to protect. LOL.
I'm now 6.4 weeks and DH and I are discussing baby names and we have a plan for communicating the news to our families. Mine is far away and we are visiting for Xmas. Since my parents are none too keen on this whole situation, I think I will find some way to break it to them before we visit so that it doesn't become unbearably awkward during the holiday. I wish I could wait until the middle of January to say anything at all, but my mother is going to take one look at me and know I'm pregnant at Xmas....so I'll need to tell her sooner.
Then how to tell my 13 and 15yo step kids. They aren't too keen on having a baby in the house either. I can understand why I suppose. I think they will come around. All of my in laws will be ecstatic. Good thing they are the side of the family that is close by!
Anywho, I feel fat and I have no energy to do anything. I hate this, because it's just not me. I want to be active and happily bouncing around the house, but NO!! If I move around too much, I feel barfy.
I will now stop complaining and be grateful and thankful that I am pregnant and so far things seem to be going ok with that.

 | Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Dec. 2, 2013 10:07pm The nausea is murder! I almost barfed on the sidewalk today while grabbing lunch. I think it headed south because had GI probs an hour after eating. I feel much the same...its almost depressing to be this lethargic and I feel guilty and loser-ish! BLEH! |
