Well, as to be expected, the nausea is increasing its hold on me. I'm feeling queasy pretty much 24/7 now. It randomly eases off for a bit, but I don't even realize it's done so until it comes raring back and I'm like "oh, crap, I didn't even enjoy that 30 minute span of not being nauseous!" Last week, eating helped, but now it's not helping as much and I've been leaving a lot of my meals half eaten as my stomach starts churning mid-way through. Finding food that looks appetizing has been a challenge too. So far the only things I get excited about are 2 of my daily snacks: string cheese (gotta get that protein & calcium) and watermelon! Everything else I'm just kind of getting down cuz I know I need to, especially focusing on the protein and fruits/veg. Anyway, I haven't yacked yet, so I guess I should be thankful for that!

Doctor's appointment is next Friday. I called today to ask if they'll do an ultrasound, and they said yes. So hopefully Ryoji will be able to join, but probably it'll be a last minute thing if he'll be able to get out of work or not. I'm going to have to ask for half a day off from work, and I'm really debating about what to tell them. I don't want them to think it's something worrisome, but I don't want them to think it's something wasteful that I shouldn't be taking off for. I was thinking maybe say it's a dental issue. Hmmm... suggestions?
