It's 8:19am. I understand this isn't considered super early for some people, but I work 2nd shift and it is REALLY early for me. I feel like my little Witchling is begging me to be up and moving around even though the little darling is also making me EXTREMELY tired.
I'll be just about 6 weeks this Sunday. So far the only huge things I've noticed are my boobs, (they are MUCH bigger and they constantly hurt) how tired I am all the time, and little bits of nausea here and there. The little darling is still so small that I can't imagine he/she making a big fuss just yet, but I am really getting excited about feeling baby grow.
I'm going to have my OB intake the Monday after I hit week 7, and I'm not sure whether or not they are going to do an Ultrasound. I know you can start to hear the heartbeat around week 6, but I have no idea what I'll be doing at the appointment other than having blood work done and going through a full physical. I've got to tell them about Mom's miscarriage. I really hope that's not something I have to go through.
My mom lost the baby at 8 months and had to deliver a stillborn. I knew about it for a long time but never had the guts to ask her about it. Now that I'm pregnant, I had to ask her just so that I have some kind of idea when they ask me at my physical. I can't imagine what that must of been like for her. His name would have been Michael and he would be 31 years old. :/ But enough about sad things. I'm going to do my best to prevent anything like that happening to me or to baby. :]
We've decided to wait until I'm around 12 weeks to tell our boss. We both work at the same hospital, so we have the same floor manager. I figure I can tell her in September, and hopefully by then Tim and I can decide if we can afford for me to go part time after my maternity leave. I wish I could just be a stay at home mom, but with both of us at entry level positions at the hospital I just don't see that happening. But that's okay. We'll manage.
I really want 12 weeks to get here, though. Tim and I (Tim mostly) are nervous about the possibility of miscarriage. Tim mentioned to me yesterday that he doesn't know what he would do if we lost the baby. I told him not to think about it, whatever happens, happens, and one way or the other we will get through it. In the meantime, I am doing everything I can to keep our baby as healthy as possible.
C'mon, witchling. Let's continue this beautiful journey. Mommy loves you so much already. <3
