We are 9 weeks pregnant today.
I can’t believe how fast it’s going. Today is the last day I have to give myself a hormone injection in the ass with a giant needle. That’s a celebration all in itself.
But today, I am finally feeling pregnant.
I slept last night for 10 hours! I passed out on the couch around 8pm and didn’t wake up until 6am. You would think I would be feeling pretty good, huh? Nope. I am still SO tired and have been very “barfy” all day. I have never had traditional “morning sickness.” Instead, I just get waves of nausea that comes and goes, usually in the afternoons (go figure). But I woke up this morning and have been sick all day. It sucks! I just want to curl up and go back to bed with my pitcher of peppermint tea.
We had our last appointment on Wednesday where little baby Burnsie was measuring 2 days ahead (8 weeks and 8 days) with a heart rate of 171. He was beautiful! You’ll have to pardon me for calling it a “he” but we ended up giving it the nickname “baby Burnsie” and well…it sounds a little masculine doesn’t it? My IP’s have a girl already, so maybe it’s a sign of boys to come. hehe.
So now I’ll be under the care of my OB/Gyn. It’s bittersweet because I just love Dr. Acacio and the staff at the fertility clinic, but it’s good to be moving along.
I guess that’s about it on the surrogacy front. So far so good!
Awww….sorry about the sickness! That’s no fun!
You are giving the bestest gift ever!! Take care!
OH – I am sorry about the sickness as well. Mine sounds exactly like your’s and it always started at 9 weeks. That must be when those hormones start kicking in!
Try to rest this weekend!
Aww, sorry you aren’t feeling well! I would have to guess a boy with the heartbeat! But they also say you have more morning sickness with girls.
And wow to 9 weeks, is seems to be going fast. I hope your morning sickness passes soon and you can get more rest! Can’t wait for the next update !
I am sorry that you are feeling sick and that you are so tired! I still cannot believe that we are nine weeks. I hope that you start feeling better! I will be thinking about you.
YAY! Shannon left me a comment.
Shannon is this baby’s mommy. She’s the BEST!
I hope you feel better! I remember those days
I hope you are feeling better soon. I got morning sickness with my boy and he was my third pregnancy. I didn’t remember getting the morning sickness like I did with him. Oh, and the heartburn!
9 weeks already. Darn time is flying…………..
Congrats to you and everyone involved. This is so exciting!! Well, exciting except for the morning sickness feeling. I never got sick with Jake but felt sick every morning. Yuck!
Congratulations and try Ginger Ale (room temperature I found was best) and saltine crackers. Nibble and Sip. I pray that your nausea goes away and that you will be up and about real soon! Give Bob a hug and the boys too! Rhea, you are giving such a blessing, it is AWESOME and my family and I will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers!
Smiles Forever,

Thanks Kim. I found that iced peppermint tea works really well for me so I’ve just been drinking that. Thanks for the prayers! I appreciate it.
