Boring title, but I'm lacking in creativity and wit at the moment.
Today, I noticed that my number of followers (while never high, because I haven't been at this for that long) completely dwindled down. Which I completely understand, but still stings a bit... but I'm thankful that anyone is reading and I'm excited to crack the 2000 page views mark after existing for about 2 months. Also excited to have viewers from IComLeaveWe who are looking for stories of hope/success.
The latest in symptoms, same-same as before: some nipple soreness, still a bit fuller than usual, still usually woozy at night, easily/often tired, hungry all the time.
I do have a somewhat humorous story for you though -- my stomach lately has been substantially pooched and rounded. I really didn't think it was baby, I really felt like it was fat/food. Well, after a very prodigious visit to the bathroom, my stomach was flat(ish) again. I almost want to do an ad -- "Feel bloated and fat? Well, consume a bottle of Metamucil and put that bikini back on!!!"
So, can I just complain a bit about how annoying it is to order meds through Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy? Every time I place an order, the quantity is wrong, I get double what I ask for. Thankfully, some of the drugs (Vivelle) I have to take right now are covered by insurance due to my change in status. I've seen forums where people sell their extra drugs and I'm toying with the idea of doing that but also being negative and thinking, "If the sh** hits the fan and this falls through, maybe I will need them again." Which is horrendous... I'm really working hard to forge ahead and feel positive unless I have a reason not to.
I did tell my mom, finally, and she was very happy and excited, so that is always reaffirming and nice. Also, at a friend's party recently, all women, almost all preggo or with a newborn, I couldn't not say anything, so right before I left (because I was starting to chicken out from doing so), I blurted out the news to two of my coworkers (1 preggo, 1 recently had #2). I swore them to secrecy... so we'll see how reliable they are.
Anyhoo... just one more week til my next u/s... until then, Merry Christmachanukkah!
Holy crap! You're at 8 weeks already almost? How did that happen!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're doing well and your newest little hapa is doing his thing!
ReplyDeleteI had a follower drop me yesterday too! I guess it's just especially hard to see pregnancy posts this time of year if you have not reached your goal yet. That's funny about the metamucil - I also had so much constipation while taking prog. suppositories. It gets better when you get off of it. Enjoy the holidays with your family!
ReplyDeleteConstipation is never fun. Can't wait to see the u/s photos. Hope you are going to post them.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same thing happen on my blog. It's sad but I get it (as I'm sure you do). I'm about the same point in my pregnancy as you 7wk1day. Looking forward to following along.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on ur pregnancy and merry christmas. ICLW #19
ReplyDeleteI wrote about this on my blog (infertility's survivor guilt) but you need to know that people do that for self protection when they can't handle baby stories when they are still going through infertility. I am so glad that you are pregnant and congratulations! I'm glad you told your mom and a few people - it helps to make it more real.
ReplyDeleteWanted to give my congratulations and let you know we're still reading!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the drugs. I even have an extra gonal-f pen that I am hanging on to in the fridge. I think it is hard to read someone's blog once they become pregnant but I also think it's nice for those who are looking for success stories or who are currently pregnant to follow your progress.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your pregnancy! Glad everything is well. I've written a memoir that chronicles both my primary and secondary infertility which will be out soon. It is so hard going through it the 2nd time and I feel your giddyness! Hope 2012 brings you an uneventful pregnancy! Happy ICLW! BTW, I have a giveaway you may be interested in...
