Babies and PG announcements are flying!

My co-worker's daughter has been trying to make a baby for about a year now. My co-worker and I have been sharing the TTC journey together, (yet I still haven't told her I'm PG) as I had been TTC for 8 cycles before I got my BFP.

Her daughter calls into the office today to annouce she just POAS and had two BFPs. She's about 4-5 weeks PG and due mid-April.

While I'm super thrilled for all of them, it was quite a site seeing how happy my co-workers all were for her news. And yet I still reamain silent. Terrified to spill my own beans.

I have an u/s tomorrow. 2nd one to check viability. I keep saying I won't announce until after my NT scan, but I feel so left out of the celebrations, that I'm tempted to announce here sooner.

I know it's hormones, and I know when I do finally announce and everyone calculates my EDD and comes to the realization I've been PG for month's now, they'll be really happy for us and amazed I kept it quiet for so long.

This is a very family friendly office, babies get passed around all the time. So I know in my heart they will all be happy for me. I know if I told them, and something terrible happened, they will all be there for me. So what is it I'm affraid of? Why am I resistant to make my announcement?

Maybe I just want to be the center of attention when it's my turn to tell. So much baby news recently, and I don't want to be lost in the crowd.

Probably is hormones. Going to eat lunch #1 now. :)

When Ulcer's Attack

So I'm having an ulcer attack today. Great. I just checked my bag, no Asacol on hand. I really need to start bringing it again. I hate going to the bathroom and seeing tissue/goo/gunk and now bloody bits in the toilet. It's kind of freaky. It's absolutely the ulcer and not the PG, but I wonder if the PG is triggering the attack. I tell you seeing the bloody bits in the toilet, it's easy to jump to miscarriage, however, the pain in my tummy is more familiar, and there is no blood coming from my vaginal canal.

So I feel gernearlly blah, and my tummy and tush both hurt. Wish I could use a heating pad. I can't so maybe some hot tea instead. :(

Ok, pitty party commence.

***ETA (Update)***

Well my OB called me back. We both agree, probably not a miscarriage but an ulcer attack. Guess I have to step up my ulcer meds for a while. I've been getting away with 8 pills a day, but will be going back up to 12 a day. If that doesn't work I have to go streoid or enema. Yuck to both of those.

The good news is she gave me the ok to use a heating pad when I get home. Said I was still early enough in the PG that that would be ok. If it get's significantly worse, i should head to the ER, but most likely the added pills tonight will tame it.

I'm still on for the u/s on Friday. Hoping we make it!

I wonder if the added zofran is causing an ulcer reation? I'd still rather the ulcer attack over the constant puking. I guess it's the lesser of two evils. Right?

Just ate dinner... still hungry

Sigh. Dinner was great. 2 small chicken breasts. Tons of bread. I'm still hungry. Starving actually.

I better still be PG, otherwise something is very very very wrong with me.

Hard to keep my mouth shut

Overhearing my co-worker talk to other co-workers about getting a "cheap" car seat and where to go about it, etc. Driving me crazy not voicing in. Listenting to the other co-worker tell him about what worked for his family of 2. This is the first co-worker's baby, and he's clueless and panicked. His wife is due in January and since I haven't made my announcement, I can't really voice too much. IF I do, will make the rumor mill go even stronger... 'cause WHY would I know all of this from my PG 4 years ago? And how would my past knowledge be at all helpful today as things change so much. Just with being on PG forums and such, you have access to the latest info and I know how great things went for us the 1st time around and want to share my knowledge. But alas, I need to keep my mouth shut. He did not come to me, so I don't need to give him info. IF he comes to me, that's different. Dang hormone's making it hard to not speak my mind. Oh well, I'm sure they'll figure it all out. Craig and I did as do many many many new parents.

I'm sooooooo tired.

So tired lately. I've basically eating, peeing, sleeping... and repeat. LOL. Craig has a sinus infection and Natalya has been sneezing up a storm, so I think the season change is upon us. Yay. So we're a lot of fun to be around. At least I feel good, well, as good as one can be, right?

The new Seven Dwarfs! Sleepy, Hungry, Thirsty, Cranky, Moody, Weepy, and PeePee

The new Seven Dwarfs! Sleepy, Hungry, Thirsty, Cranky, Moody, Weepy, and PeePee

I've been falling asleep every night just after we get home. Tonight, I was out by 7:30pm again. Wake up around 10 and have to eat dinner #2. I swear I'm eating all day and night long. I guess I'm glad for medical intervention so I can eat, just wish I wasn't hungry ALL the time. It's kind of like having a tape worm inside. The little parasite that's cries FEED me all hours of the day.

I know it'll all be worth it. Just trying to eat as healthy as possible. Lord knows once the "real" cravings kick in, I'm at it's mercy.

Another good day and step forward

I called my pharmacy to see if they had the zofran filled. They did, $1, only 12 pills and you can get this re-filled in 30 days.

I'm supposed to be taking 3 a day. 12 pills will get me through 4 days. Then what?

It's the same deal I ran into with my last PG, when it took nearly a month to get the insurance co. to agree to pay and fill what my Dr. is prescribing.

I called my OB. Talked to Micky. She worked her magic, and now I'm getting 90 pills for 30 days. That should be enough to take 3 a day.

Thank goodness.

Verrified with the pharmacy. Now is going to cost me $2.

(rolling my eyes now)

AND

I have a 1st OB apt officially scheduled. I go in to see Elizabeth Wagener again on the 17th. Woo Hoo. She's the Dr we saw with Alice's pregnancy. She's an excellent Dr. Very medical though, and not terribly friendly, however she is highly recommended, even Sandy Woods suggested giving her another go. So we'll see how it plays out. If we're not happy, they have other OBs in the group, and since you kind of see them ALL through out the 9 months, I'm not that concerned.

Just happy to finally be getting in!!!!! :)
