Today I am answering the questions I am asked most commonly (by those that know about our little addition).
How are you feeling?
So far, I am feeling pretty good, actually. Although, the past couple of mornings, I have struggled with slight feelings of queasiness, which usually subside after I eat a little something. To resolve this, I go to bed with something I can eat the following morning (crackers, fruit, dry cereal, etc.). I eat the snack in bed, first thing in the morning (after emptying my bladder of course) and this usually helps me find the strength I need to start the morning routine. The book I am reading says even mild queasiness counts as morning sickness, but I know some of you would completely disagree, as I have suffered no where near as bad as you did! For those of you, I leave you with this thought: I am only 5 weeks along, the morning sickness likely has not kicked in to its fullest yet!
How is the Daddy-to-Be?
Daddy to Be is over the flu and back at work. He is feeling MUCH better and is now able to share in the excitement (and uneasiness) with me! Every night we're reading and discussing all of the many things we are learning and/or preparing for. AND, Daddy to Be is most supportive of Mommy to Be, preparing snacks and/or meals, lending a listening ear during the mood swings and entertaining all of my crazy thoughts! He will also be taking time off work tomorrow to join me at the doctor's appt., which I thought was quite gracious, since he'll likely be at work late into the evening trying to finish things up because of it. With all of that said, I suppose Daddy-to-Be should post one of these days and share his feelings about this experience with all of you (we all know he's playing it "cool" for me--ha!).
Are you taking it easy?
I am taking it VERY easy right now. Considering I am in and out of schools all over the area, the hubby and I have decided it would be best if I stopped working until we get the doctor's recommendation on flu and/or swine flu vaccinations for me (hopefully, I will find somewhere in the area still offering these). Considering the amount of people I am exposed to during a week of work, we thought this would be the best choice. I thought I'd welcome the break, but I am actually starting to go crazy. Again, one of the books I am reading says, ENJOY the peace and quiet, it won't last too much longer. So, I am trying to be thankful for the break, but its not easy to do (especially when you're called every night, asking to fill one position after the other). I even cancelled my hair appt. today, as my hair dresser was sick, but insisted that I "come on in anyways." As much as this gal needs her hair done (and as badly as I wanted it done) I felt it best to reschedule (all the while thinking--there went my plans!). HA!
Well, this Mommy to Be is hungry again (anyone who knows me is NOT shocked by this news, I am always hungry anyways). Doctor's appt. tomorrow! I will update everyone some time then!
