Nine weeks and miserable!

Chris and I have chosen a midwifery practice for prenatal care and are planning a water birth. I have not had my first pre-natal appointment, outside of the consultation. My goal for the day today is to schedule the first appointment. The midwifery group typically only orders a 20-22 week ultrasound, but I asked if I could have a first trimester to see the baby. We will see if they will order it.

This week I have felt completely miserable. Thursday was the first time I was able to keep breakfast down. I decided yesterday that I was going to drink a lot of fluid the first few hours that I am awake and then eat something small 3-4 hours later. So far, yesterday and today it worked. I am not really interested in eating and being in the kitchen itself makes me super nauseous. We bought a bunch of soup, chicken broth, crackers, and granola bars which is what my diet has consisted of. I can't wait until I'm done feeling sick all the time.

Last night, I accidentally fell asleep at 6pm and woke up at 8:30pm. I went back to bed at 9:30pm and slept until 7am this morning. It was wonderful! So far, I'm adjusting well to being in school, but the long days on Tuesdays and late nights has been very hard the past two weeks.

I'll keep you all updated with our doctor appointment.
