I'm exactly two weeks away from my u/s. I wish I could go in for b/w to make sure everything is still going fine....but I can't. I'm pretty sure things are okay. I'm getting a little more nauseas every day...I'm much more tired in the evenings than I used to be...and I have aversions to sweet potatoes (which was my favourite food until just recently). I can't even stand to say the word, or to see one in front of me. I'm also having really hard times at dinner deciding what to eat. Hopefully these are all good signs...and my boobs continue to hurt.
But I have too much going on now...my place is my place - I have cable and phone and internet, and most of my furniture is there...but I can't get the strength to finish moving in and actually live there...so I continue to live with mommy and daddy - which will have to stop soon, b/c I've moved a lot of my stuff over there already.
Plus, the amount of school work I have to do, and report cards, and gearing up for moving classrooms....I can't take it!
Today I told my first person about my pregnancy - my dental hygienist...and she was terrific. She teared up and hugged me....it was really nice....considering NO ONE AT ALL KNOWS I'M TTC, this went really well. She's also an outside source who only sees me 3 times a year, but still :)
I'm hoping I don't shock any of my friends too badly, or that I don't lose any friends in this process - you never know if people take things personally that I didn't confide in them. The way I see it, I'm single and I didn't want anyone's outside opinion on this.
Can't write more now.
I hope telling your friends goes well...I found that I got some surprising reactions. If you're prepared for the positive as well as the negative, you'll do fine...
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about telling people. Tiara has some great advice that I will take as well. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard telling people but once you get comfortable with it, it will get easier, now I have to deal with explaining to people that my son really doesn't have a daddy, he has a donor, but not really a daddy- thats a weird one- it was a little weird explaining it to my pastor when I wanted to get him baptized-but it was fine, because I am comfortable with it- I love my son! I have only gotten kind words and encouragement!
