With the expanding waist line  comes the spreading of the news and the expanded number of people aware of your pregnancy.  While I had wanted to shout this pregnancy from the roof tops when we found out, I decided that a more cautious approach might be best with my history of perinatal loss.  I know of cases where people did share early and then suffered a miscarriage which can be hard when everyone asks how things are going. I am glad that  I had shared with a few close friends before we had our miscarriage, they became my support group afterwards.
Now that we are in a safer time, I have decided on a more subtle method and that is telling my friends and family as I see them.  All I can say is the reactions of some when they see me is priceless. I was at a family event recently and one or two people were ready to burst trying not to ask and then asking anyways. More to write later, time to get ready for work.

It is 6 AM And I am awake and out of bed. Not the kind of awake where you feel refreshed but the kind where you wish you could go back to sleep but wonder if you will be more tired if you do? What will my day be like if I go back to sleep or stay up?
I am finding this time that I am having more nights of bad sleep mostly from having trouble finding a comfortable sleep position and the rest from having to get up to peee all the time....TMI? as I said in a past post, get over it.  A person shares more than just their bathroom routine with their doctor, the residents, the nurses and ultrasound or lab techs, so might as well get used to sharing everything.
As I am reading this I can see how the lack of sleep is making me witchy as I call it. I know that I have had to consciously make a few word choices to keep this post polite and yet still open and honest. Like no coffee, lack of sleep makes this girl irritable, grouchy, low on patience and down right witchy.

While nausea was a fun symptom to deal with I found the medicine I was given for it really helped. Have stopped the medicine I am finding that the nausea has all but stopped as well. My new friend is now heartburn.
Heartburn for me feels like my chest is on fire and trying to burn a whole through my chest. It makes me feel sick and kinda like puking. I know, TMI. (See past post) I have a feeling that GAVISCON is going to be my friend again this pregnancy, I am amazed how early it has started to wreak havoc with my life. Well time for another GAVISCON.

June 15 th - I have found my new favourite cure for heartburn, or at least a good helper to keep it at bay. GUM. Thats right, gum has been helping me deal with the fun of heartburn. They say it is something to do with the creation of saliva and such. What ever the reason I am a fan of gum and the affect it has on my heartburn problems.
