When I went for an ultrasound last Saturday, I kept insisting to my doctor that I was 8 weeks plus, when she informed me that I was 9 weeks plus. I asked her to recount from my LMP, and I was still not convinced. I came back to the office and prodded an online site to count how pregnant I was, and well it said I was 9w1d. Well, I have swept an entire week somewhere and I am not sure how I did it.
Nausea came back, but without vengeance. If I can rest up a bit and/or try to check if there is something really arising in my throat, it kind of sets it right.
We share our bed with Figzy and I love this arrangement. However, I am now constantly aware and alert for any kicks in my tummy that I receive, and hence try to stick to a particular side position to save my belly.
I also feel very lethargic.

I did not have to bother with hiding and not hiding my pregnancy. I was supposed to be at the helm of an event happening in my office in August. It was planned from last year. I had the brochure done and released in January this year.
However, now the dates are colliding with the exact time frame when I would like to take leave from my office, so I requested my director to permit me to go on backfoot. I am now co-organizer and that has taken away much of the pressure of the event.
Incidentally, my Director announced in a meeting a couple of weeks back that I won't be doing it and so he is looking for another person for the job. I refused to look into the gathering at the table and found much solace in counting bottles of water on the table. The first question that a pokey colleague asked me was if I was expecting again.
I stayed non-committal, and still am the same but that doesn't mean that it isn't the main theory that people have for this voluntary withdrawal by me.

The pokey colleague took her curiosity forward and rubbed my belly one day while we were talking about something. I was unprepared and completely taken aback. She followed it with "Don't let me be the last one to know".
I regained my composure and continued the topic we were discussing. I did not comment. I think I may to have take out some notice in the local newspaper or my colleague might sue me.
I remember the belly kicks from outside, those are not fun... Hope you're energy comes back, even sooner now that you got the misplaced week back. Next time, pay more attention and don't just leave them anywhere, keep them all in one place. :-p
