The Waiting is the Hardest Part

Ugh. I feel gross and I want to throw up and sleep at the same time.

This is not like my last pregnancy, during which I really didn't have nausea or any symptoms at all. I knew I was pregnant but there was none of the crappy stuff that I'm feeling now!

For instance, right now, my belt is hurting me. I've undone it, but any pressure on my tummy is just horrid. I guess it's growing a little faster than last time? I have no idea. I would really prefer to keep this all hidden until it's announced though, criminy!

The worst part right now is the waiting. I have to wait a week and a half before I have my scan to see (hopefully) a beating heart, and a normal little baby in there. The waiting is agony!

I spoke to Morgan about her room, since they'll share. We talked about where the bunk beds will go (obviously for when baby is not a baby anymore) and where the dresser will move, the chair, the crib, etc. She's very excited, although less thrilled about losing her Princess tent. But we all make sacrifices!

Honestly this worrying is taking it's toll. I really don't think I was so worried last time. Why am I so worried?? Hopefully I will have positive results really soon.

The Bump: A bit yes, more noticeable now because I'm not eating a lot so there's less bloating. It's weird, my upper abdomen is being shoved outward just a bit, so I look really...weird. Like I had way too many nachos at lunch.

Food Cravings/Aversions: Nothing, food is gross.

Sleep: Still pretty bad, honestly. I'm so tired.
