Daniella - yeah, I think it is funny I was so worried about gaining weight at the beginning! I am not worried about not gaining as I have heard of so many women who don't or who lose weight. But at least you were eating balanced meals. What had me worried was that I am eating so poorly due to my 8 million food aversions, heartburn and m/s. Doc said don't worry - it is all about survival in the beginning so just keep eating whatever and whenever I can and don't beat myself up just now. So Alli - don't worry about the weight gain thing either! And I HATE this time of year. EVeryone keeps saying - wow you must be excited that you are almost done and all I keep thinking is yeah, my original plan was to be out on maternity leave by now so I wouldn't have to deal with all the end of the year bs! LOL! This week was tiring, next week should be slightly less tiring, but the week after is from hell. I have an invite to a big bbq that my friend gives every year (and we miss every year!) that I would have finally liked to make it to but it is the Saturday after the week from hell and I know I wil be uselss that day so I had to decline. We have these 8th grade assessments in New York and the social studies one is the 7th and 8th so I am in a mad rush to finish the curriculum and review for the damned assessment, then grade the assessments (an experience i hate because it is long, tiring and the dept head is b^%$# who alwyas manages to treat me like s^%$ each time - not my dept head - I am in Spec Ed which is actually why the b%^$# treats me that way -but this year I have tenure so maybe she won't see me as such an easy target - or maybe I'll just unlease the wrath of my pregnancy hormones and my true Italian-Irish temper now that I have TENURE!). Plus, that week I have to go to the varsity dinner (which starts at 6 and goes on FOREVER- UGH!) and the 8th grade moving up ceremonies (for two wings) and 2 days cheerleading tryouts and I should be ready for the nut house by Saturday. If I am still waking up sick by then, it is going to be hell. I really hope this passes by then and I get all that energy everyone talks about in the second trimester. Allie - did you have your blood drawn and your hcg and progesterone numbers checked yet? It is a good thing to do to rule out needing progesterone. Also, I started around 6-7 weeks feeling mildly nauseous but it really got strong around 7-8 week - puking and what not. When school ends I think I will start a pregnancy journal like Daniella's. I have to start taking belly pics already. I don't need maternity clothes yet, but I have a gut and need bigger pants despite how little I seem to keep down! Tara - think positive! that u/s will be perfect and you will be looking back from the 12 week mark soon! Like you said - it wasn't a hereditary thing, and normaly would have taken care if itself earlier, and lightning doesn't strike twice - the odds are so in your favor. Your little Treya held on so you could know her for a reason - maybe she is the angel guiding this baby just like Daniella's litle boy.
