So the good news is I am feeling much better.  I am now at week 12 and am not feeling the same nausea and headaches that I was.  I still sometimes feel gross, but it isn’t for as long or as intense.  I also am still tired all the time.  I think it is time to turn the air conditioner on because it is really too hot to sleep properly.

But the new thing is the mood swings, I was in such a grouchy mood yesterday and ended up in tears last night.  Now it could be related to the fact that I have not had vacation in two years, or the fact that my manager is playing games with me, or the fact that I find my job dull and boring, or the fact that it is just good to cry once in a while.

I haven’t gained any weight yet.  I have been hovering around the same amount.  I weigh myself every Wednesday (sometimes Thursday) morning.   I was on a diet when I got pregnant, but I reduced my efforts there.  It wasn’t an intense diet, just cutting down on portions, and avoiding the foods I know I am not supposed to eat, and exercising more.

I am still playing ultimate frisbee, although I did quit one team because they were just too intense and I am not planning on laying-out(diving to the ground) or running-full-tilt.  My other team is more friendly and I am staying with them.  My doctor said I could play until week 18.  So I can finish the season, but I am going go pass on playoffs because that will be two full days of playing and I don’t think I will be able to handle that in mid-September.

I am meeting my mentor next week so I will ask her what she recommends for  the best way to tell my manager.  I work in a pool of a few hundred resources (consulting), so there is no job that needs to be back-filled, they will just have one less person in their pool for a while.  However I am going to be re-assigned to a new project in September so I will need to tell them that the end date cannot be longer than mid-January.

That is all for now, I am glad some of you are enjoying my blog.  Feel free to leave comments.
