I just hit 8 weeks, and am definitely feeling pregnant. For the first couple of weeks I felt pretty normal - maybe some mild fatigue and queasiness, but it was really very manageable. Just a few days ago, however, is when it really started to hit me hard. I'm pretty nauseous in the morning until I get a chance to eat something, and the nausea comes and goes throughout the day, peaking just before mealtime. So far I've only puked once, so that's good. I guess. Also feeling just plain exhausted pretty much all day. I thought it would be great that the worst of it would happen during my summer break, so I wouldn't have to deal with going to work while feeling so crappy - but, as it turns out, chasing around a toddler all day is FAR more difficult a task than going to work. It's been a challenge to entertain Ember and give him my full attention while I've been feeling badly, but hopefully it passes quickly. I'm bummed the last couple weeks of my time at home with him were marred by not feeling well, but that's how the cookie crumbles.
I can't help but try to compare this pregnancy to the last, mostly to speculate possible gender (even though we all know it's all just wive's tales anyway). So far it's pretty similar... I have thrown up significantly less, but my nausea is more consistent throughout the day than it was with E (with him, it was pretty much only in the morning). So... we'll see!
Until next time!
