Last of the flashback posts! I hope these were somewhat entertaining or useful to someone, but if not, oh well, they're over now :) This one was written just a day before the big announcement post.

at the Minnesota Zoo
Weight Gain: didn't weigh myself at all this week
Symptoms: Much, much better thanks to the blessed drug unisom. Seriously I feel like a whole different person. I am still feeling a LITTLE gaggy, but didn't throw up at all, am sleeping a lot better, and can eat almost normally. I get very very bloated by the end of the day and seriously feel like I look 5-6 months pregnant then.
What's different this time: Gave in to the drugs and it feels so good.
Cravings: Ate at 2 food trucks this week and actually pretty much enjoyed the experience!
Aversions: Taking my pills makes me really gaggy. Especially the uncoated B6 tablets.
Sleep: Much better with the unisom but I'm still not really sleeping through the night at all - I definitely lay awake for large portions of the night but I feel okay during the day. Still getting up once a night to pee, usually when Ben comes upstairs to bed - since I go to bed around 9, he comes up around 11 or 12, I pee and then I'm fine til morning.
I am loving: That we have now told almost all good friends and family - so I can be open about my life to pretty much everyone I talk to!
I miss: Not much this week since I'm feeling pretty good. I guess I miss eating deli meat completely guilt free, but, uh, yeah I've eaten a lot this pregnancy so I can't really say that I've been MISSING it, Bob.
I am looking forward to: Midwife appointment TOMORROW....
I'm spazzing about: ... which is definitely turning me into a spaz. Trying to keep calm today, and remind myself that "chances are good that everything will be fine" and if not, we'll deal with it.
Best thing about this week: Telling my high school friends, sister, and the rest of Ben's family - lots of happy reactions there which was awesome!
Milestones: Nothing really, I don't think.
Movement: There were a few times that I had a particularly active gas bubble that felt like movement but I KNOW it's still far too early to feel anything... right...?? right??? I think yes - too early. Who knows what I was feeling, but it wasn't consistent enough for me to label it as movement just yet.
It's a...: ?
Exercise: Walked a lot this weekend - went to the zoo, and walked with Laura and Nathan a ton last night, so I feel good about exercise. Might start looking into prenatal yoga pretty soon.
Diet: A lot better - ate veggies and ate pretty normal meals thanks to the drugs!
