First time. I’m freaking out?! How am I supposed to wait weeks to know if things are okay?

Hello hello. Husband and I decided we wanted kids, and here we are just 2 months into trying and I’m pregnant. Took the test the day after Mother’s Day, and have been taking tests everyday since. The test line was faint at first, and darkened over the past week to the point it is as dark/darker than the control line.

Husband and I are excited, but I feel like I’m almost not letting myself be excited because it’s so early?

We are telling family starting tonight, I should be 5w1d so I know it’s still early - we figured if the worst happens we’d want family to know anyway for support reasons.

My boobs hurt, I’m tried as hell, and I started having little hot flashes today. I also had to set down my falafel sandwich at lunch today because it randomly tasted horrible to me halfway through eating it. But no nausea. Should I be nauseous by now?

Taking prenatals, had been taking them for a month leading up to this.

Made an OB appointment but it isn’t until I’m 11w?!?! HOW TF AM I SUPPOSED TO SIT AROUND WAITING THAT LONG?

I’m a sahw so I’m not working, literally agonizing and worrying my way around the house every day. I’m taking daily walks (with exception of today and yesterday due to weather).

Idek what advice I’m looking for?! I just want to know if baby is okay and I am DREADING the next 5 weeks of waiting around….

Will this make a cohesive dish?

Working with what I’ve got in the fridge/pantry:

Whole grain orzo
Chicken breast
Lemon
Dill
Feta
Cucumber
Plain Greek yogurt
Olive oil

These things sound like they would go well together, but the orzo being whole grain and the yogurt/olive oil I’m not so sure about.

I have a red onion too, would that be good added or should it be left out?

I can afford to grab one or 2 other ingredients maybe, if anyone has any suggestions or substitutions.

I’m trying to add more structure to my days by establishing a routine that incorporates these things, but need some ideas.

What does exercise look like for you? What are your favorite hobbies? What are ways you practice self care daily without it feeling like a task?
