So my Zofran is a game changer! I should have asked for this at my first appointment. Since I have all day MS, I plan to keep it in my system during the day for awhile.
Also STMs+ I need to just maybe vent a bit because I don't feel comfortable talking to DH about this. Although I wanted K to have a sibling, part of me is sad that another baby is on the way. There are certain things I do with DS that is either going to end or get more difficult with a newborn. (i.e. he usually finishes his nap cuddled in my lap, quick walks down the street to the park, etc) I just now feel comfortable with parenting, why am I starting over? I was dragging my feet on TTC because of this and I just, I'm in tears thinking about my special times with DS changing. I know we will adjust but ugh...

jessijean glad the meds are working! And sorry you feel conflicted about the second baby, but I think that's perfectly normal. Things will change and most likely get harder for a bit. It might seem like your first suffers a bit from not having your undivided attention but I think having a sibling is the best gift you could give him. All of the fun he will have with sibling growing up will be so worth it. Plus they will always have each other in life and that's pretty awesome. It's totally fair to be sad in a way, but there are so many reasons it will be better! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm glad you are feeling better jessijean! I am ok. I got my appt moved up to tomorrow because I was loosing my mind with symptoms spotting. At this point I feel likes it is 50-50. DH is leaving for work for the weekend literally during my appointment so either way it is just me and DS this weekend.

I feel awful this morning. So much nausea, no actual getting sick tho.
We've transitioned ds to one nap and it's great but exhausting at the same time LOL

First appointment was boring. Paperwork & labwork. My first real appointment isn't until the end of June, I'll be about 10.5 weeks then. I'm thinking as soon as we get the call back confirming my labwork we will tell our parents. I just don't feel like keeping a secret for another month, especially since my mom & I talk daily & it's been hard to lie about why I've been exhausted or covering up my nausea haha.

Working and I feel like I'm snacking all day to keep MS away.
I just told my boss at my mid-point evaluation because I have 0 back ups right now and I know they are moving people around with the new hire. I'm pretty comfortable with her, so it wasn't a big thing. She was excited and totally agreed we need to start training someone this summer once I tell the rest of my coworkers.

I feel the same way jessijean. Life is so great now, everything seems so awesome with just one. I'm totally scared of messing with perfection, but I agree, a sibling is the best gift we can give them in the long run! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

jessijean I was really really indecisive about ttc. I wanted G to be an only child forever so that I can spoil her and do everything all for her. Then I remember that having a sibling can be so so sweet. Someone on my bmb reminded me that she won't remember being an only child so to her, having a sibling will be normal. That really helped me.

I feel awful. I went to the mall. I finally went to subway to satisfy my craving. They didn't have the bread I wanted so it was sort of disappointing. And now since I ate, I am nauseous again.

Hai! I had a great first OB appointment yesterday. Baby looks great, measuring right at 7 weeks and had a good 135 heartbeat! H was there and I was grinning like crazy the whole time. My next appointment won't be for 4 weeks! Agh. I hate waiting that long.

Good luck to all those with appointments today. Come back and update us.
I went in for beta testing today. I've never done this before but my MW offered it as an added reassurance since my first u/s is in 3 weeks. Im almost more nervous to have something else to judge but I did it. Second testing on Friday and I'll get those results on Monday.
Is burping a symptom? I've had 3 large unexpected belches in client settings today. It was embarrassing! This is new for me.

jessijean I definitely think your concerns are valid and understandable but as the pp said the gift of a sibling will be amazing for your DS in the long run. I am much more selfish and feel anxiety about starting over. The first three months were so hard on me with my first pregnancy - the sleep deprivation, breast feeding woes, the solitude of maternity leave, etc. I hope I'm better equipped to deal with it this go around...and at least I know the end result and that everything is a short phase.

jessijean YAY for the meds and feeling better! I feel like I have opposite feelings about adding another. My son has always been so attached to my DH that I feel super left out all the time. I am really hoping that the second might prefer me. I sound awful for saying that. Also went for beta testing today and it was 1500. Does that sound normal for 5weeks?

I had a second job interview today for a different teaching position in another district. I think it went ok. Got to meet some of the kids and teach them a lesson. Everyone seemed very nice.

I totally get what you're saying....I think it will hit me later in the pregnancy. But you will still have one on one time with your DS and think of the joy having a sibling will bring him!

The end of the school year needs to be here stat. It's been a rough year with a rough group of kids, and I'm just done. There is no patience anymore. Argh.

I've been having super dry eyes (which I've never had before) and low and behold I found out it's common in secondary pregnancies!

jessijean I hear you! I love having just my son. It makes me a little sad thinking about sharing my time with him. I'm obviously excited and will love #2. I just love my relationship with my son. Soooo today was supposed to be my ultrasound. An appointment I made weeks ago. I show up and they supposedly called me on the 23rd bc the ultrasound tech wasn't going to be there today. RAAAAGE. I'm almost out of sick time for the year and I wasted an hour and a half driving there and back to work. Now I have to wait until the 8th. Why didn't they call again? Better yet, the 23rd was the day we went in for my bleeding. Why didn't they say something then??? Now I have to wait another week+!

I was dragging my feet on TTC because of this and I just, I'm in tears thinking about my special times with DS changing. I know we will adjust but ugh... I can't fully explain it, so this is my son meeting his sister on the day she was born (sorry for the creepy edit over my mom's face lol, I couldn't find a cute sticker. Also it's DD's 2nd birthday on Sunday so I've just been feeling nostalgia all around) Everything changes in a second again, just like the first time. I'm not going to lie, having siblings so close in age (they are 23 months apart) is so incredibly frustrating at times. But also watching them grow together and be best friends and knowing we gave them each other is just the greatest feeling. It's completely understandable and ok to fear the unknown and the changes that come with adding a new baby. Know that you have a support group here when things get hard, but when things are good, they are very very good.

Baby grew!! We had a good ultrasound and got to see the heart beat and that they had grow from last week. Still measuring early at around 6w5d so might have to go back in for another dating ultrasound because they don't consider anything before 7 weeks to be accurate. Such a relief to see a heartbeat and growth after all of this spotting. FX it goes away soon and I can continue on feeling blissfully crappy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

tiffrobot that picture made me tear up. DS absolutely loves babies so I can only imagine what it will be like when it's "his" baby. That made me feel better, thank you.
