Re: Friday Ticker Change 6/23
2. How are you feeling? Hungry in the morning, nauseated the rest of the day, then hungry again late at night. I'm eating Club crackers for lunch right now. I feel better for a bit after exercise, but the motivation to do it is hard to find when I feel like crap. My best friend described it perfectly: It's like being slightly hungover all day, every day.
3. Any appointments this week? U/S on Monday (at 6w3d). I asked H if wanted to be there, he said "Why? You don't see anything." I said "You see the heartbeat." He goes "You do?? This soon?" And I thought *I* knew nothing. Then again, he doesn't get the alerts in his email from pregnancy apps like I do.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I can't live without caffeine at work; H's wake up call at 5 am (and 3 or 4 several days this week) knocks me on my ass. So I have to have Diet Coke. But given that it's an appetite suppressant, could the caffeine contribute to my nausea? I'm experimenting tomorrow with no caffeine to see if I still get ill after breakfast.

Everyone I saw on a regular basis knew we were doing IVF, so when it was successful I felt they deserved to know since they had been supportive along the way. So yes, everyone I see regularly knows. I'm not doing a FB announcement because, well, like I said, everyone I see regularly knows, and those I don't see regularly don't need to know. We already found out it's a boy from PGS, and we told people when we announced the IVF worked. "You're getting a grandson!"
As for books, that's tough. I love Gone With the Wind, it's my favorite, but as for "best," Hunger Games really messed me up the first couple times I read it, so it had a huge impact. Sending teenagers to fight to the death?!?! WTH??

2. How are you feeling?
So tired and nauseated. I sleep constantly and feel very queasy all day. I have been off work for a week, starting a new job Monday- starting to give myself pep talks about not napping or puking during my first couple weeks on the job. Oh, what timing !
3. Any appointments this week?
First appt is next week
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Okay- what do I do about this exhaustion? I fall asleep sitting up sometimes, and have to force myself out of bed by 7 ( I'm typically such a light sleeper and early riser). I need tips on making it through the day without passing out on my computer
5. GTKY: Habe you announced/when are you planning to announce?
we Have told both sets of parents but that's it! planning to announce at the end of first trimester. I'm team green but I think dh is hoping blue. Mainly because he has younger sisters and he's wrapped around their fingers/ totally spoils them, so he's afraid if it's a girl he will never be able to tell her no - haha, he's too nice!

Just don't feel like doing anything and it's so hard having a 1-year-old at the same time as being pregnant lol
5. GTKY: Have* you announced/when are you planning to announce? Team Green or finding out?
NPR: what is the best book you have ever read?
We haven't announced to any friends yet but I am thinking after hearing the HB would be a good time. A friend of mine had a miscarriage a week before hitting the 12 week mark and so I'm kind of worried that anything could happen. Definitely finding out and can't wait for that time!
Best book I've ever read is Gone Girl - I could read it over and over (and I have lol)!
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
6 weeks. Baby is the size of a pea or lentil.
2. How are you feeling?
Lots of nausea, and super tired. Luckily no vomiting yet though.
3. Any appointments this week?
Not yet. My first appointment is July 3.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I just want to be able to talk about my pregnancy! Luckily my husband gets home tomorrow, so I can at least tell him!
5. GTKY: Have* you announced/when are you planning to announce? Team Green or finding out?
I think I'll tell some close friends once my husband knows, but I mostly want to wait until 12 weeks. I love a surprise, so I think I'm team green.
NPR: what is the best book you have ever read?
I love a classic, Persuasion by Jane Austen

5. GTKY: Have* you announced/when are you planning to announce? Team Green or finding out?
NPR: what is the best book you have ever read?
Those close to us already know bc my husband and mother can't keep their mouths shut! I'd be fine not telling until 20weeks but that's pointless now since I feel like everyone already knows so we will prolly do the fb announcement at 10/11 weeks. We're team green right now but I have a feeling I'll cave and end up finding out.
Everything Nicolas sparks I read his books in a day because I can put them down.
