6w3d- Stero Heart

This cycle of weekly ultrasounds is going to send me to an early grave.  Every Friday is the same- I wake up with nausea and overwhelming nervousness, too sick to eat breakfast, too sick to think about anything else but having my life ruined with one wave of a magic ultrasound wand.  I get to the RE's office and in two seconds the ultrasound is finished and all is right with the world...until next week.  We are happy for about 3 days then towards mid- week the cycle begins again.  Depression, nervousness, crying...until a heartbeat is re-confirmed and all is good again.  I get to do this at least 6 more times until December- awesome!! But I really can't complain, it is a good problem to have because it means I'm pregnant and things are progressing.

This morning I saw a heartbeat flicker from the little peanut on the ultrasound monitor. We've been here before, but I have to believe that this time is different.  I hope this time is different.

I have been sick in the mornings lately, and at about 10am like clockwork it goes away.  The fatigue at this stage is getting worse, I am so tired and if I'm up past 9pm I slur my words and get glassy eyed like I'm drunk.  My appetite is up and down- I don't know what I want to eat most of the time, but am so hungry.  Nothing really appeals to me and I don't have any cravings..yet.  Those are most of the symptoms so far, and like I said, I can't really complain because I'm just lucky to have them.
