Definitely Feeling it Now...
I woke up at 2:30 this morning and laid there, willing myself not to get sick. Thankfully, as is typical of my pregnancies, the nausea is limited to the morning hours right now (or if I wake up in the middle of the night) and I am able to keep food down all day... I will appreciate that while it lasts. I also still find coffee appealing, which I also know isn't long for this world.
I had another dream last night. In this one I was determined to breastfeed, but people kept moving the baby and I had to keep chasing it around the house with giant wet spots on my shirt. At one point, I found Ben with her (yep, another girl dream), rocking her like a pro. It was actually kind of cute, but in the dream I was ridiculously frustrated with the situation. The baby had brown hair and brown eyes this time. Gotta love weird pregnancy hormone-induced sleep.
The dream gender tally now stands at Girl: 2 Boy:0. Don't read too much into that though. I think girls led early on when I was pregnant with Simon too. It isn't until later in the game that the dreams start to get more clear (and in my experience, more accurate) ;)
I dug out the boxes of maternity clothes last night and sorted them out. I haven't gotten on the scale at ALL, but I can definitely tell I've added a pound or three and I can see it in the mirror. Those comfy pants will be rotated into the wardrobe in the next few weeks. I'm not a huge fan of this stage of pregnancy... but it will be over soon enough. And, as I keep telling myself with each and everything that happens this time.... THIS IS THE LAST TIME!!!!! Sad for some parts of it, notsomuch for others. Woohoo!
I can't find my belly band, which irritates me to no end because I am so meticulous with organizing and storing clothes. It will be necessity though in mere days, I'm thinking. so I'm off to get a new one sometime today. I'm sure the old one will turn up as soon as I shell out the $8 for a new one. Grr...

Still Quiet...
We decided not to tell anyone yesterday. I was having kind of an off day with more lower back pain and some cramping...
I've decided I definitely need some concrete "all is well" evidence before I tell anyone else. All I can really do is wait for something to happen and then on the 13th, I have the doctor's appointment and ultrasound. If I get really desperate, I will take my other doctor up on running another round of bloodwork, but I honestly don't think I can mentally handle waiting around for a phone call for the news one way or the other.
I had a miscarriage dream two nights ago, which, along with all the discomfort yesterday did NOT help me feel any better. (my m/c dreams are notorious for coming true) Although, during the same dream, I was in a room with a woman (who was not me, but in the dream I thought she was.... you know how dreams are) who was talking with these four identical blonde, curly-haired little girls when she realized they were actually her daughters she was pregnant with and she was just getting to talk to them before they were born. I am certain I do not have four babies in there... but I did think the general idea was interesting and I wonder what it means. My pregnancy dreams are almost always relevant in one way or another, so I always make sure do document them. Anyway, I hope the good manages to outweigh the bad in this particular one.
Anyway... back to waiting...
