Hey there! I am now 7 weeks and 1 day....yay!!! Today I went down to Kaiser to do a Gluten Tolerance test. I have been dreading it all week because 1. It was at 7 in the morning 2. I have had morning sickness all week and 3. Anything sweet makes me puke! SO having to get up at 6 to go drink a big cup of this gross sugary juice and sit for two hours was not high on my wish list.
Anyway...Josh (boyfriend aka baby daddy) went with me cuz he is a sweety. The drink was not as bad as I thought. It was a small bottle full and tasted like flat orange soda with lots of sugar. I had 5 min to drink it and had to come back in an hour to have blood drawn..and then once more an hour after that. Glad its over! Hopefully the results will be good...but no matter what I have to repeat the test at 24 weeks :(
Now on to my symptoms!! So when I first found out I was pregnant until about 6 weeks I was TIRED! I would sleep for ten hours and still need a nap. Working until 2am didn't help either! But then right when I hit 6 weeks I felt like I had slightly more energy and at the same time my nausea got switched up to hyperdrive! I tossed my cookies for the first time this week...not fun...at least I hadn't eaten yet. I found if I eat something as soon as the nausea starts it does not get that bad. Too bad the baby only lets me eat Lays potato chips, toast and noodles haha. Lastly is my bathroom trips....which are growing in frequency dramatically. I have to keep two glasses of water by my bed because I get so thirsty and don't want to go all the way to the kitchen to get a refill halfway thru the night. I drink water like a freakin camel. They drink alot don;t they??
ooooooo...one more thing! My. Boobs. Hurt. Like....really hurt....god forbid Josh try to cop a feel...haha...or give me too tight a hug...I'm always swatting him away if he dares to get within a foot of my chest. I swear they are already getting huge! but that's all for now...another update in a week or two!
