    How far along are you? 8 weeks 6 days

    Upcoming appointments? I have a phone intake appointment with my OB tomorrow afternoon, and then my NT ultrasound is scheduled for May 28th. 

    Cravings/Symptoms? I feel sick 60-80% of the day now. I'm sitting here in my bathrobe, hair unbrushed, face unwashed and I have a zoom work meeting in 20 mins. Trying to decide if I can go pull myself together in time or if my camera is "not working" today. 

    How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? We told our parents, siblings, and best friends this weekend, which was really exciting! My mom has already sent us a package with onsies, hats, and burp cloths she's had for two years now, and my parents had flowers delivered yesterday. 

    Questions? Should I be tracking calories and trying to eat a certain amount already? I've actually lost a few pounds because I've felt so sick that I'm not eating full meals anymore. Dinner is usually just toast.

    How far along are you? 7w2d based on U/S

    Upcoming appointments?  I have ten week appointment in a couple weeks.  

    Cravings/Symptoms?  I have been throwing up a lot over here.  I basically have moved from the bed to the bathroom to the couch for about a week now.  Heartburn has also been crazy bad.  Yesterday the only way I felt comfortable was to stand up, so I paced the house for hours.  My husband was concerned.  Also 4am wake ups starving! 

    How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms?  I got to see the baby this week and the heartbeat.  It makes this so worth it.  I put the picture on the fridge near my pretzels, so I can see it and smile whenever I have to eat pretzels (officially hate them, but they stay down the best!)

    Questions?  Nope

    @feather_heather. We have been having zoom calls for my weekly Bible study and I am always off camera now.  Mostly so I can put my head down on the table and just listen.  They are all super worried about how I have been acting and would love to see me.  

    Also @feather_heather My doctor this week said to just eat whatever you can eat.  Anything that sounds good is better than not eating because it isn't healthy.  Once I start feeling better, we will have to get better with nutrition.  But right now the mode is survival (and hopefully not running to the bathroom).  My husband does encourage strongly that I eat periodically, because I would rather not to at this point.

    @dobiemom11 - Oh man, sorry you've been throwing up so much! Thankfully I haven't actually thrown up, I just feel super nauseous, weak, and a general sick feeling. My husband has worked late the last two nights, so I've had to do my PIO shot myself. I was in the middle of a period of not feeling well when it was time to do my shot last night and it did not go well... I got super dizzy and felt like I was about to pass out, so I had to waddle over the the couch with a giant needle sticking out of my buttcheek and lay down to finish plunging it in.  :s

    I'm glad to hear that's what your doctor recommended! My husband texts me throughout the day to check on me and make sure that I at least tried to eat something at meal times. Now I wish I had some pretzels in my house! lol

    @feather_heather. You are a superwoman!  I am terrified of needles and that would have been impossible for me!  (Sadly I used to draw blood for patients combining needles and blood which I am also not good at).  We are on the countdown for those shots though right?  Keep it up!

    @feather_heather lol I hope you’re camera “wasn’t working” and are taking it easy today! Those PIO shots will be worth the little bubba in December!

    @Dobie_Mama vomiting over here too. I find ginger tea, peppermint tea, Ginger chews and saltine crackers help a lot
