I’ve hit a wall. The wall of tired. It hadn’t hit before and silly me thought that meant I might be getting off easy on the whole exhaustion thing. Ha! Guess again. I am barely able to hold my eyes open and fell asleep sitting in the recliner. Of course, Quayd crawled up to me and woke me up in about 18 seconds but the nap was great while it lasted.
The nausea has intensified and is now a constant companion. Even when I wake up in the night to pee or nurse Quayd, it’s there. Constant snacking and sipping on orange flavored drinks helps a smidge. I bought some b6 which I’m taking now too. I haven’t started on doxylamine succinate yet because I don’t really want to use it while I’m breastfeeding since it could (theoretically) make Quayd drowsy and possibly dry up my milk. But I may have to give in and use it soon. I’m at the point where I feel so thirsty and have dry, cotton mouth but water tastes so gross. Iced is better. I need to try some iced tea… That sounds good.
Other than those symptoms and running to pee 20 times a day/night, I also have noticed since the end of 5 weeks that the area of my c section scar is already rounding out. Like it’s not flat anymore. I realize that you do show earlier every time but like… Dude. I don’t think I’d be able to hide this much longer. Granted it’s probably mostly bloat from my digestion being slowed and whacky but there’s only so much sucking in that I can do before people start to look suspiciously. 😂 Hopefully we can make it a few more weeks without telling. I’m definitely just not ready to tell yet and have everyone worrying and fretting. Everyone has enough on their minds with DH getting ready to start radiation etc. Ideally we’d really like to wait till we know the gender and have a name possibly. Which I think we would like to try the sneak peek gender test this time and get the results after 8 weeks. Hardly any time left to wait! It’s incredible that you can find out that early now!
