It's been a very long couple of weeks, but I'm enjoying all the napping. I have the house to myself tonight. Daniel is out with his friend at TGIFridays, and I opted to stay in and watch some much needed romantic comedies. I tried to call my best friend, but she's not answering...so I'm on my own.
Our first appointment went wonderfully! We got to see and hear the heartbeat - very exciting! According to my LMP, I was 6 weeks and 6 days, and the little bean measured 6 weeks and 4 days. The U/S tech said that was great, as long as I'm measuring 7 days before or after. The heart was beating at 122 bpm.
The doctor does want to see me back and do another ultrasound on 8/17 to check my ovaries. She found a large cyst on my right ovary, and she just wants to keep a close eye on it. I'm going to let her worry for me for the time being. I don't need to add that to my list of woes and worries.
My symptoms have been somewhat bearable...I've had my bad days though. I got in a really bad mood today. I smarted off to a sales lady at Lane Bryant, and then yelled at Daniel for absolutely no reason. It's like having PMS, only every day of my life! The morning sickness that I had once bragged only came at night now comes full swing at about noon and lasts until I give up and go to sleep. I've discovered Preggie Pops. They help a little, but once you finish it, the nausea comes back. I pee like crazy...probably because I can't stop drinking water.
All in all, though...I have to admit that this is the most wonderful kind of sick and tired. I still have to remind myself that there's an absolutely amazing reason for all of this, and I'm so thrilled that I get to help create this little life.
