11 Weeks
Today I'm 11 weeks (still estimated, as I haven't been to the doctor's. - I go Monday to have them confirm a due date and have a better idea of exactly how far along I am.)
I think that's probably right on within maybe a day though. I'm having most of the pregnant lady symptoms and have had a pretty rough time so far. Espectially earlier this week. I think I might've also had a stomach flu on top of the regular morning sickness??? Haha, nasty combination. So far the worst aspect for me has been the gas. I did NOT expect that. Everyone tells you of the nausea, so that's expected; but what usually has me doubled over in pain is the gas, starting late in the afternoon and continuing on until I go to bed every day. It's unbearable, and there's really no remedy as most of them contain charcoal in some form which is an absolute no during pregnancy. I hope this stage passes soon. I only have one more week to go of my first trimester and by the start of the 2nd, a lot of the worst symptoms should be easing.
Aside from that.. Sean had an interview for a visa at the American Embassy in London about a week back, spent the entire day driving to and from and waiting for hours on end to be seen for 15 minutes only to be told he didn't have the right visa application. So.... they told him his employer had to be the ones to apply on his behalf. It's been handed over to the company's legal team and hopefully they can sort something out. It's fuckin irritating that it's THIS difficult for someone who actually has a proper talent and reason to be here and has had ties with the U.S. going back now a decade to get into the country.
I'm depending on him being here to help out both financially and with the baby. I can't and don't want to do this on my own, having to work full-time as well. I don't know what I'll do if he's denied a visa.
If he IS able to come here, he and I will probably wind up moving into my mom's house and she'll take this apartment. We need the space and it makes more sense than paying almost nearly as much for a tiny shit apartment. And.. my mom's work is literally downstairs from my apartment. She'd be able to more easily afford this and commute time would be less than a minute walking distance. I need him here though to help get her house sorted out.
Alright, done and feel like I just typed a bunch of stupid crap.
