Anybody still wishing they had symptoms? If I tell you that since Friday afternoon I've felt as though I was going to die, would you change your mind?
I had forgotten how utterly unremitting the nausea of morning sickness can be. I've had about three awake hours since Friday afternoon when I haven't felt constantly nauseous. I haven't vomited once, but sometimes I wish I would as it feels like that might make me feel better.
I have barely eaten since Friday night, and I'm getting hunger tummy pains on top of the nausea. But I can't think of a single thing I want to eat - or at least, I think of it, eat it, and then about ten minutes later it's all I can taste and I wish I hadn't eaten anything. Eggs (only scrambled) and avocados are just about manageable. Oh, and rice pudding. But the obvious things like plain white bread, oven chips, baked potatoes, cheese -- no, no, no!
I am VERY fortunate that my OH and I are both self-employed and work half-time each, alternating the other half of our time with our son. If I had to do childcare every day at the moment, I think I would have given up by now
I had our LO on my own all day on Sunday, and I just don't know how I coped - he got soooo bored, I couldn't face the thought of leaving the house so we just did books and jigsaws and trainset all day. But I'm not sure how many days like that he'll put up with. He is such an outdoor boy, but just walking down our road half kills me at the moment, that there's no way I'd make it to the swings or the shops.
I just can't remember how long my M/S lasted for last time. I have a feeling it went before 12 weeks, so I am praying for that day. I do remember that I LOVED the second trimester and felt amazing, so I am really looking forward to that.
Oh, we told our parents yesterday. OH's parents were pleased, as expected. My mum said "well, well, congratulations" and then pretty much changed the subject. Long story, much "history" and "baggage", but let's just say her response wasn't exactly unexpected.
Made it to week 6 woohoo 
I told her I wasn't telling a lot of people yet because it was so early so if we could please keep this between us I would appriciate that. First thing she does is goes and tells the HR director...UGH. Then she tells her best friend who tells another co worker who tells another coworker who tells me. By this time I was really upset but still able to let it go. This morning some guys come out of a management meeting and tell me congratulations. I ask them for what and they inform me my boss has just announced to EVERYONE in the MANAGEMENT meeting that I'm expecting. I am so upset...sorry I just needed to vent
