Two great bloggers have given me the Liebster award. :) Thank you to both Rebecca at Pink lipgloss and prenatals and NewYearMum!
I am terribly ignorant about blogging, I just type and publish. So it's going to take me some work and time to figure out how to publish the award, and to list the blogs I want to award in return. I just want you guys to know that I really appreciate the award, and I appreciate you :) Tutorials are GREATLY appreciated, btw...just be easy on me because I'm old and slow ;)
Tomorrow is a big day. The boys turn 6, and I am going in for my first ultrasound. Tuesday I had bloodwork and the nurse informed me that all was well, and that they would see me for my ultrasound and "Then off to the OB." What chipper confidence! It is taking some doing, but I am determined to feel positive about this pregnancy until I'm given a reason NOT to.
Today I am 6 weeks 3 days pregnant. (isn't it nice doing IVF? we are able to know how old our embryos are practically to the hour.) I feel like crap most days. I may be shaky and nauseous in the morning, but perfectly fine in the afternoon...or I'm fine until it suddenly hits me that I haven't eaten within the last few hours and I immediately feel like crap. I do better when I eat and drink regularly in small intervals, but nothing sounds appetizing. Believe me when I tell you that I am not complaining about these symptoms. It is a bit of a catch 22. I am trying very hard to eat, drink, and rest regularly to keep the shaky/nauseous feelings away, but when it works and I feel good panic creeps in. It is so complicated being pregnant in a post infertility world.
On a lighter note... You may have noticed that I am making baby hats for one of my readers. I don't want to leave anyone out, but I also don't want to *jinx* anyone by offering hats early on in a pregnancy. Soooo..... if and when any of you reach a point in your pregnancy when you feel ready, drop me a comment and I'll put you on the hat list :)
*why yes, I am extremely superstitious.
I want a hat! Do you charge for them?? : )
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you. And your positive attitude is inspirational!
ReplyDeleteLulu, NO...totally free of charge for the asking :) I will put you on the list! I will get people's addresses for shipping closer to due date arrival.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to be making hats! If only I had a reason to ask for one. Maybe next year I will. I hope your pregnancy continues to go well and that you'll have a happy and healthy baby.
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day to your boys and can't wait to hear about your U/S! Glad you are keeping such a positive attitude. :) And sorry you are feeling sick...it is reassuring but it also sucks.
ReplyDeleteGL with your u/s! So excited!! Hope we get to see pics!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day tomorrow! =0)
