YUCKY!

Well that thing about the bloating getting better...scratch that. Yesterday I woke up and felt miserable. I tried to make myself feel better by going to the pool but it didn't work. I'm back to feeling absolutely MISERABLE. I most likely will not take my butt off of the couch for the remainder of the day. I woke up this morning and felt like I might actually pass out or throw up, one of the two (and don't read into this, it's much too early for that). So because I didn't want to worry my dear husband, I had him call the doctor's office (on a Saturday...and they returned my call within 15 minutes, that's how fabulous they are)! The nurse called in some Tylenol with Codeine to my pharmacy to hopefully provide me some relief. She also tempted me with an appointment on Monday for my beta test, but I turned that down. Peter already took Thursday off and I want him to be there with me.

I was supposed to go to a graduation party today, but I really don't see that happening. So instead, I'll be here, on the couch running out of DVR programs. And I want to be specific about one point: I'm definitely NOT complaining. I was so worried that something was wrong, especially with me, that might affect the peas success of making it. I think I could handle just about any pain if I knew the little peas were safe and snug. We'll find out soon enough...

7 days down, 7 to go...

Well we've reached the halfway point of the 2 week wait. My bloating is finally starting to decrease a little bit each day. My organs are thankful to reclaim the space that is rightfully theirs and I'm thankful to finally feel some relief. I know what your thinking...any pregnancy symptoms? Nope, feel the same as I did last week minus the huge Violet blueberry feeling (you know the scene from Willy Wonka). I have back pain at night when I sleep and that's it.

I've found a few things to distract me such as: 1. planning my sister's bridal shower; 2. working ahead on my grad school assignments; 3. logging on to Facebook at all hours of the day (BTW- I hate FB today, seriously FB, wtf??); 4. catching up on DVR (my favorite). I'm doing well with my positive thinking but am worried next week will be unbearable. I welcome any and ALL distractions from any idle time I may have to think negatively.
