Welp, we were supposed to have another sonogram and maybe see the heartbeat yesterday (Thursday), but Mother Nature wanted none of that. We couldn't get to the office because of the storm! Even if we technically could have, E decided it was too dangerous to head out in the snowstorm for an appointment the RE told us could take place anytime from yesterday through next Thursday. Obviously my anxiety is through the roof. We have to call in the morning to see if they can squeeze us in, but if not we have to wait till Monday. Bummerrrr.
Here's my next little questionnaire:
How far along: 6 weeks 3 days
Size of baby: Sweet Pea :)
Physical
symptoms: Sore boobs, but less so. Bloating. A little less exhausted (but still reallllly tired). A bit sensitive to smells, general mild nausea (all day) and some bouts of EXTREME nausea. On Wednesday I was freaking out full-blast because I wasn't at all nauseous, but then around dinnertime it hit full-force. I haven't actually vomited but I've spent some time in the bathroom thinking it's gonna happen at any second. I've got buckets in like 3 different rooms. And big-time food aversions.
Weight
gain/loss: I'm up like 4-5lbs but I started eating gluten again so that's our explanation right there. I've kind of only been able to eat carbs bc of the nausea. It's super healthy.
Maternity clothes: No!
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: E has had an upper respiratory infection all week, so sleep has been intermittent. His nose is stuffed and gross so he's been snoring like a bear, so the first night I slept in the guest room so we'd both get some real sleep, the next night I made him sleep in the guest room, and last night we were back to normal but I still didn't sleep much until after he got out of bed. Then I slept till the afternoon (whoops), which explains why I'm still up now.
Best
moment since last week: A friend confided to me that she's also pregnant (she figured out I was bc she knew I had the iui and hadn't texted her swear words 2 weeks later), and she's due right around the same time. So I have a little buddy.
Movement: Nope.
Cravings/Aversions:
The smell of cooking meat still grosses me out. Most things gross me out. I've had a few baked potatoes, and bagels with scallion cream cheese (but I think that craving has passed). I'm usually a huuuuuge sugar fiend but I've found things to be "too sweet" lately (I've never known that feeling in my life, lol)
Gender: I had a dream that it's a dark haired girl... we were teaching her how to walk in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. It was pretty adorbs.
Labor signs: Hopefully not for 8 months!
Belly button: Innie
What I miss: Thinking I was going to miss out on morning sickness/nausea, haha.
What I am looking forward to: Our next RE appt- whenever that is! And as of Tuesday we're 7 weeks and get upgraded to the size of a blueberry. :)
Boo for a cancelled appointment! Yay for a little sweat pea!!
