@quartz02 I love Outlander! Which book are you on?
If you like to read them but dont have the time to sit still and focus, you should try the audio books!!! they're so well done!! the lady that does them has won many awards for her performance.
I have read them all this way and all the Lord John books too!!! outlander!!
@ijstarr28 I'm on The Fiery Cross (book 5). I was OBSESSED and read the first 4 books staying up late at night, getting up early, on my lunch break. I'm kind of "eh" on this book. I don't know if it's the story-line that I don't care for or just that I'm reading so infrequently because I'm exhausted. I'm waiting for it to get better.
How are you feeling? Cramping, heartburn & nausea are much better today than they have been which makes me nervous. But I do have a nasty headache and serious fatigue this afternoon so maybe that should be comforting?
Rants/raves or positive vibes: I really am having a hard time waiting until December 9th for my first appointment. I want some sort of reassurance now!
How are you feeling? Blah. Almost all day nausea the past week. I gagged and dry heaved a couple times, and threw up for the first time last night. Hopefully this doesn't last long. I'm nauseous if I do eat, and nauseous if I don't. Plus the late night exhaustion is killer. Keeping the secret with these symptoms is hard.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: I miss craving and loving food.
GTKY: What do you do to de-stress? Watch my shows, take a walk, gym, sleep.
How are you feeling? Really good, surprisingly not tired today.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: Still no major MS, only light queasiness so far.
GTKY: What do you do to de-stress? I like to take walks or workout with my headphones in and just forget the world exists. No particular music as I like a little of everything. Whatever I'm in the mood for.
How are you feeling? I am hungry all the time! And simultaneously nauseous and sleepy, so work has been a little bit of a challenge, especially in terms of motivation and concentration. For all the ladies out there that've been through this before-- does the constant hunger also go away when the morning sickness dies down? The challenge is that I don't feel like eating, but I force myself to so I don't feel sick. I keep a sleeve of saltines with me at all times now.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: I just wanna get to a place where I can tell people about this! But rave: on Wednesday I got to see and hear the heartbeat and that was just awesome, but unreal this thing is inside me!
GTKY: What do you do to de-stress? Simple pleasures: binge-watching Friends on Netflix while cuddling with my two kittens :-)
@quartz02 The Fiery Cross was my least favorite. I think it drags in places, and then one particular storyline makes me mad. I think the next book (A Breath of Snow and Ashes) is a lot better.
I am re-reading the whole series now, and I'm actually stuck on The Fiery Cross again.

@KyCat Totally agree. Fiery Cross was slow. Took me twice as long to get through as the others. Once I got through it, I flew through the rest of them. I was just thinking of re-reading them! I can't take the wait for book 9!

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Taking advantage of no symptoms while I can, just in case a few decide to show up in the next couple weeks.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: Trying to stay in a decent workout routine but my competitive mind won't turn off so I'm struggling to slow myself down.
Also, DH is itching to tell everyone and their brother we're expecting and I'm struggling to reel him in! I don't want to tell too many people too early so I met him halfway with just parents next week at Thanksgiving. But I have a huge fear that my parents won't be able to keep their mouths shut for a few more weeks until we're ready for more people to know. Ugh..
GTKY: What do you do to de-stress? Workout or binge watch on Netflix.
How are you feeling? Very tired and very nauseous + hungry at the same time.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: Fatigue and worsening nausea are really starting to interfere with my work now. It's actually causing me quite a bit of stress because I have several important essays/articles to write in a short timeframe and I just can't get inspired to write when I feel like crap
GTKY: What do you do to de-stress? When stress builds up I get this awful churning feeling in my belly so I go for a long walk. Otherwise I try to do things like shower while playing music I like, or relax and chat in bed with my husband!

Like crap. So tired, food/smell aversions are really kicking in, and I am constantly nauseous.
No matter how much my H and I do I feel like I am never going to catch up on housework, particularly laundry. It's driving me crazy.
Lock myself in my bathroom and take a nice long bath.
