Well, not all the time anyway. Just once in a while. The nausea is getting old, though. I can't wait for the first trimester to be over with.
Had an ultrasound on October 21st to check on the baby's size and heart rate. The doctor said the Little Bean is right smack-dab where it ought to be as far as growth goes, and it has a good, solid, healthy heart rate of 129 beats per minute (as of that day. It increases as it grows, of course.) It was so cool to watch it wiggle with each beat. Unfortunately my I.F. wasn't able to make it to that appointment, but the IVF doctor has released me into the care of a regular obstetrician with the expectation that this will be a normal, healthy, singleton pregnancy.
So our first OB appointment is going to be November 9th. It's so much fun getting two completely separate people's schedules to coincide enough so we can both make it to the appointment. And the hubs is going to come, too. I wonder if the OB staff will think the two men are gay, since I made it clear that I'm a surrogate? :P Probably not, as hubs is very affectionate (have I mentioned that I LOVE that?) The OB is going to try to squeeze us in for another ultrasound that day, which will be nice for my I.F. since he wasn't able to make it to the seven-week one.
