Just visiting family and friends for a week and a half in our hometown. We attended a big party yesterday for a few birthdays and going away party, so we told that family about being KU.

Non-pregnancy: Super busy week + weekend with a lot of work stuff on then go and friends in town over the weekend.
Pregnancy related I started spotting saturday night. Not a large amount but was getting brownish spotting a couple times in the evening. Happened again last night and then again this AM. Called my doctors office this AM and they directed me to ER. In the ER waiting to see the doc right now....

7 +5.

Im switching from morning shifts to night shifts at work. We shall see how that goes.
My husband is also switching jobs this week, we are excited becuase it will mean he's home every night but it also means less overtime options to make extra money.
Pregnancy related I basically live to sleep right now. Alllll the naps !

Wah wah. Only 4 which is kinda sad when you work for a airline I have to step up my game for sure.
@scotiagirl I hope that spotting stops and turns out to be nothing

Planning my daughters first birthday party. Lots of napping when she naps. Lots of analyzing my symptoms or lack of symptoms. Spent time at the family cabin. Ultrasound is 11 days away and I'm counting down the days/hours/minutes.
GTKY: How many Canadian provinces/territories have you visited? Hmmm. BC, Alberta, Manitoba. 3. I suck. I go to the States and Europe more then I travel around Canada.
What's going on for you? We are moving so it's been all packing all the time
GTKY: I've been lucky, been to all provinces except Newfoundland, but no territories as of yet
non pregnancy wise there is not a ton going on...just trying to get through the work days and we are avoiding everybody because I am not ready to share the big news yet and not only am I a terrible liar....I look awful and it would take anyone that knows me all of 5mins to figure it out.
pregnancy wise - I think it comes as no suprise based on my posts that I've been pretty damn miserable. staying positive has been incredibly hard and as terrible as it is to admit it - I find myself wishing we could just go back to normal. This pregnancy was very much planned and wanted....I don't know if it's the hormones or what...I just feel pretty low. I keep trying to remind myself that it will be worth it in the end...but the end is so far off that I don't find that overly reassuring.
I've only visited 3 provinces - Ontario, Quebec and BC. We had a roadtrip planned 2 weeks ago to do the maritimes but I was so sick I decided to cancel it
Whats been going on for you over the past week (either pregnancy or nonpreganancy related)? We went to the lake this weekend which was sooooo nice. We are also potty training DS and he only had 1 accident all weekend! Woohoo!
GTKY: How many Canadian provinces/territories have you visited? Hmmm I don't think I've been to any of the territories. I've been to all the provinces except for Newfoundland. Love both the coasts but am particularly fond of Nova Scotia and PEI. Fun fact: My DH and I went to PEI a few years ago. And after a while he said "Okay. I gotta ask. Who is this Anne girl?" Apparently he'd never heard of Anne of Green Gables!!!!!
back good! Hope you don't have to wait long for the US and you get some good news!!
@bb3vj3n, not trying to be negative. But there is such a thing as prenatal depression. It's often overlooked and post partum depression gets all the attention. I experienced this during my second pregnancy and a friend of mine had it for both of hers. It might be worth discussing with your doctor. Or even making a point of finding some things that can help your mood. I found getting exercise (even just going for a walk) cleared my head and helped reduce my anxiety/depression. I know first trimester is so taxing on us. Especially when we are experiencing morning sickness. Just keep remembering why you're going through this! Hugs!
not much going on, just trying to survive daily life with a toddler while feeling like crap.
I grew up in NS, visited PEI, NB, QC, and lived in BC and ON.
And thank you @justkeeptrying. The ultrasound dept at the hospital here is always backed up so it will be interesting to see how long it takes. I don't know what priority my referral was sent in as (ER doc seemed quite relaxed once my Beta came back good) so we will see how long I wait!
thank you. I have my first doctors appointment today and I plan on telling him how I've been feeling. I honestly think it stems down to how awful I'm feeling... if i could get even a little relief from this nausea I think I could get over these characteristics of depression. I just want to lie down....always. I got home at 4 yesterday and went straight to bed and slept through until 8 this morning.
I was put on diclectin last week and it has made it possible for me to atleast get through a work day- but outside of keeping my job I have zero motivation to do anything else. I even bought new cheap clothes this week to wear because I didn't have the energy to do laundry.
I just want this part of pregnancy to be over with. it hasn't at all been what I was expecting. I find myself doubting that if I can't even get through this part... how the heck am I going to parent a real child?
8 weeks 4 days

Last week we had our first ultrasound and it went well! Everything looked good but we didn't get much information. I have another appointment next Friday so I'm hoping my doctor will give more detail about the results. Non-pregnancy related not a whole lot going on, this weekend we're having my family over to celebrate my Mom and Grandmothers birthdays which I'm really looking forward to!

When I was 5 my parents took us on a driving trip across Canada, started in Ontario and ended in Victoria. I don't remember much from that trip so I'm not sure that counts. I have only been Alberta and BC as an adult which is actually pretty sad now that I think about it (and we're going to both provinces next week to visit my family). I would love to go to Montreal so hopefully we can make that happen in the relatively near future!
Weeks: 7 weeks today
WGO? Work, work and more work, but really looking forward to the long weekend. We plan on telling the kids and our neighbours on Saturday. It will be nice to have some other commiserating with my crazy fatigue and nausea.
Travel: 7 provinces (missing all but one of the Maritimes and all of the Territories)
@scotiagirl Good to hear your betas are going up. I hope you get good news at your ultrasound.
@mountain_girl We moved while I was pregnant with our first. It was… unpleasant. 5 years later, we still haven’t fully unpacked. I wish you better.
@bb3vj3n I am so sorry that you are feeling that way. There is so much going on with your hormones that they very well may be playing a part. Please speak to your doctor. There are people to talk to and medications that are safe in pregnancy to help you feel better. Feeling sick or sad during pregnancy does not reflect how you will parent. It is an experience all it’s own. I’ve felt like crap in all of my pregnancies, but parenthood is so worth it. Take it day by day for now. Most feel better as the 1st trimester passes.
@scotiagirl how did the U/S go?
@bb3vj3n looks like we might !
@scotiagirl hope those days go by quick !
