5 weeks
Hi again. So it's been 6 days since I found out. I'm getting used to the idea of the fact.
I did tell B on Tuesday. Not how I wanted it to happen, but I did tell him. And his response to it absolutely blew me away. He is HAPPY. He was never really scared, never upset, doesn't blame me for anything. It's crazy. He is being totally supportive of everything, he wants this, wants me, and wants it to work. I know he is going to be a good dad, I never had a doubt about that. I do feel so relieved about that.
I told my mom last night as well. I thought she was going to seriously have a heart attack. She didn't say much of anything (read: she only asked me if I was sure. Um, yeah, I wouldnt tell you if I wasn't!!!), and now she's ignoring the fact that I said anything at all. Told my sister too, she is annoyingly happy about it.
So..how am I feeling? I feel like I haven't slept in about 4 days, when in reality I'm sleeping about 10 hours a day (including a daily nap). If anything it's getting worse this week. I'm also having horrible "morning" sickness. That means I'm usually sick every 2 hours all day long. I even woke up at 1:30 this morning so I could puke. I thought you couldn't be sick in your sleep?! Guess that's wrong! Mornings are usually worse though. I have crackers on my headboard and I try to eat some before I even sit up in the morning, but it's not helping at all.
Tonight is going to be long. I'm babysitting my godson (who is 15 months) all weekend. So I'm not getting a break at all, I'm constantly picking him up which is KILLING my sore back, AND I have to go to my other job and work all night in an hour. I work at a restaurant, so it's not like I can just sit on my butt all night, no it's going to be constant walking and moving and lifting and...just shoot me now :(
Oh, I was also mistaken on how far I am. According to any doctor, I am technically 5 weeks today, even though that is physically impossible...(more like 3 weeks)

sounds like some things are looking up for you. i think i'm about 7 weeks along w/ #2, but have yet to see a doctor, because our insurance took awhile to change my primary care physician, and we just moved. we actually haven't announced it to anyone yet, so not even our family knows. we were trying to announce it after seeing the doctor, but that's taking awhile. anyhow, just saw that maybe we can take this journey "together".
i'm confused by the weeks too, but they calculate the gestational age of the fetus by the first day of your last period...so 2 weeks before you conceive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_age
if you plan to read any books, i highly recommend "your pregnancy week by week". http://books.google.com/books?id=DcluZruAmH8C
sorry you have a bad case of morning sickness.
i just do the gagging thing, and that's no fun either.
They are always screwy with how far along you are because they calculate it from your last period even if you know the exact date you conceived....weirdos. LOL But then again 40 weeks doesn't exactly calculate out to nine months.
I never really had the morning sickness but I do know that they have medications they can give you for the nausea to help keep you from becoming too dehydrated if it comes to that.
Well GOOD! Lets hope things continue along this path and like I said...you two can be great parents no matter what!
@sassi95@xanga - @mamajoyjoy - Thanks for the comments! I'm having to take 1/2 a phenegran constantly to keep from throwing up, but that makes me sleepy and on top of already being drained..I'm not a happy camper at work HAHA :)
I'm reading "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" right now, I think it's a great book for first-time moms. It's a Hilarious book and she tells you like it is. My best friend gave me her baby books and my mom bought me 2 also this weekend, so I think I'm pretty stocked up for the next few decades... ;)
I'll try to read your blogs tonight, I think I actually have a night off for once!
@beautifulsurprise - I got The Girlfriend's Guide off of freecycle, and I'm reading it right now too. Yeah, it's funny. There are things in there that they don't tell you in the other books.
