8 weeks
May 20, 2008 at 7:50 am | In IVF, Life | 1 Commentwell- I am not the most regular blogger in the world…
So I am 8 weeks! Excited, a little nervous, and waiting for some “proof” other than the occasional queasiness (I know… I have been lucky) and the ultrasound pics posted by my desk 
One fun thing is that there are several pregnant friends who are all due within a couple of months of myself- there’s Kat and Rebecca, there’s Laura at work- due Nov 25 and then there’s Erika at church who is due on the SAME FREAKIN’ DAY as I am- what are the odds??
I did have some bleedind during my 6th week- scared the poop outta me (which I wish I could scare outta me now), but it got me another ultrasound- which really reassured me as well as let me get another look at our lil’ peanut. I have been released from the care of my reproductive endocrinologist and am now the sole problem of my OB. I also got to stop getting the shots in my bottom every morning- and my bottom is thankful.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to assimilate my sewing room** into the rest of the house to accommodate the nursery.
**sewing room: place where sewing machine resides- with all the other stuff we can’t figure out what to do with.

Two words: storage building. We started last week with the big cleaning of the garage (our garage is separate from the house, and we also have a two car carport, so the old garage is our storage room). Half of the stuff is gone, we’re getting tubbies for most of the rest, and eBay is being fed.
Next project comes next week — we’re going to empty and floor the sunroom. Then the third week of June we’re hoping to move all of the furniture that’s “staying” in the baby’s room out to the carport for a dose of white paint, painting the room purple (with white and pewter trim), and moving just those items back. Everything else? Storage building. In plastic tubbies.
Hang in there — you’re about to go through what were my worst weeks. I’m just over 12 weeks now, and the morning sickness has eased up enough for me to travel (I’m writing this from Russellville!) and get back to work. Sleep whenever you can — more sleep=less nausea. Drink plenty of fruit juice. And I can’t recommend Sea-Bands and candied ginger enough.
My next appointment is June 10th — and by then we should be able to tell what flavor kid we’re going to have. Our one ultrasound so far looked like a little paisley (and darnit — the machine wasn’t printing!) but it was the moment where Paul stopped saying “if” and started saying “when.” We’re due November 30th.
Are you keeping a baby journal?
