Week 9

Daddy thinks I'm feeling sick more often, which I guess I am. Hormones seem to be affecting my eyes a bit, so I've felt squiffy for about 2 days.

I've been reading on the forum, and I think I still have some symptoms - headaches, nauseous feeling, sore boobs, being grumpy.

Guess I'm still worried it's not true....

Not long to go to know for sure :)

Also, everyone thinks you're a girl :)

Week 8

I've mostly been emotional this week! Crying at everything even the Winter Olympics :)

Boobs still ache, and sickness comes & goes, but is mostly gone.

Sleep - or lack of it - seems to be getting worse! 

And my over riding fear that I don't have a raspberry (your current nickname).... I'm very anxious about my scan... 

Week 7

2nd week back in work. It's really difficult. I'm only working with 1 service user, and we're so short staffed I spend most of the time in the office alone.

Everyone in work knows too, so it makes it difficult that we're not talking about it..

The last couple of days I have been tired, with varying times of feeling sick - sometimes in the night, sometimes after lunch, sometimes in the morning....my boobs still hurt too, but not as bad.

I don't think I've been in a terribly good mood, not overly snappy, just not 'happy'. I've had a lot of headaches too.

We bought a new bed this weekend. I have buyers remorse big time! Why are we spending this money when we have a baby on the way?! I know we've never had a new bed, and this one if hopefully for life, and will have lots of room for the baby to snuggle in with us :)

Week 6

So, I'm back at work... It's not going well. They've all worked it out. I've told some people I'm on a 'detox'. 

I also saw the midwife (Alison) this week (wed 5th feb), who basically said 'good luck. We'll see u at the 12 week scan....'. So it feels no more real!

However she did say that the cramping is normal - phew! 

Mood swings are increasing, but I'm mostly in a bad mood, not a good one.... 

And im till not sleeping well.

And it would seem that I can't eat ham stew - yuk!
