Just SO excited about this adventure we are just beginning!

February 9Entering 6 weeks today. I am so happy things are going well! No morning sickness, but definitely starting to have a swollen belly. Wouldn `t call it a `bump `...but it is definitely not from eating to much breakfast/lunch/dinner. :-) My husband and I are just thrilled. We do many good things together, but this is the best project yet!

Note to self: Curry is NOT your friend....at least not for the next 7.5 months. Sheesh!

This week has been tough. Hunger makes me feel ill, but food doesn `t seem to agree with me. The things that taste good going in, tend to `fight with my body ` to make their way out! Been having nausea, but no vomitting (I think has been a victory of mind over matter) But I am just so tired and a bit annoyed. On the up side, I told my boss...with whom I don `t typically have the greatest relationship...but she was really supportive. She is a mom to 10 month old twin boys, so I think she feels my pain on this one. Thankfully! I am trying to stay positive. Reading lots of books...and still really excited about this whole thing. Just realize what a long road I have a head of me. The best quote I have seen in one of my books, `Pregnancy is hard work. Plain and simple. ` Ain `t that the truth.

I have a confession:I just took another pregnancy test. I have been feeling so much better the last couple of days that was afraid I was no longer pregnant. As crazy as that may sound, I thought, better to find put my mind at ease than to stress for the next two weeks (My first real doctor `s appt isn `t till March 3!). Anyway, it was positive (surprise, surprise). My mom says I really need to work on my anxiety. I didn `t even tell my husband about this (he would chalk it up to the latest antic of his loveably neurotic wife). I feel better now. Much easier for me to just enjoy the good days. I entered week 7 today. I am psyched. I find this whole thing so unbelieveable! I guess I have wanted it for so long...just can `t believe it is finally happening.

Had a big wake up call today: I rear-ended someone on my way to work. It was stop and go traffic...guess I just zoned out! No damage, but because I just rolled into the person in front of me--i.e. never braked--I banged my head on the steering wheel...and scraped my hand. Again, more annoying than serious, but I am worried about my little one. It occured to me that Imy baby `s life was in danger, and it was totally MY FAULT! So early and already screwing up motherhood. Everything seems to be fine with my pregnancy(i.e. no bleeding or anything) but I just feel bad that I put at risk the one thing I have wanted so badly. God forgive me...and please let my little one be ok.

This week has been pretty comical (despite the fender bender). My smptoms have turned me into an idiot. LOL! My boobs are HUGE. Seriously. And I have been having near violent cravings. I work 30 miles from home and when I left work on Thursday, I was on a MISSION for Mexican food. I plugged in `Chipotle ` into the navigation system and high tailed my self to one at the mid-way point between work and home. AFter I got the food, I had to sit in the parking lot and eat the chips and salsa `to take the edge off ` before I could even make it home. When I did get home, I burst into the house, dropped my coat on the floor, plopped in the couch and ate the WHOLE burrito. That is a serious deal. But then I was so happy. :-)Yesterday, I had a similar episode, but it involved two slices of pepperoni pizza. My family find it highly amusing, but I find it slightly alarming. I hae never been a huge eater. This little one has taken over my body--and my appetite!I guess I have to indulge. LOL!!! Definitely having more symptoms than last week: the boobs, the appetite, the bloating/belly, and the little twinges in my abdomen. Glad to know everything is going well.Makes the week until our doctor `s appointment seem a little less daunting. :-)

My baby wiggled for me! We just returned from our first ultrasound...strong heartbeat and it moved for us. Did a little wiggle dance! :-) My prayer, `just give us a heartbeat ` was answered, I am so happy....so blessed. :-D

11 weeks! Doing great...but wondering...could morning sickness be just starting now? Ugh!

12 Weeks. YEAH! We made it! Ican `t wait to get to my next doctor `s appointment (still feelng anxious that everything is ok)but generally, I think I am just chillin ` in what they call the `pregnancy waiting room `. Lol! I am generally feeling fat right now. I have put on probably only a couple pounds, but since it is my boobs and tummy, nothin is fitting the wait I would like. My hair has changed texture. Usually soft and curly, but now, just kinky! Can `t wait till I can FINALLY get it straightened in two weeks. In the meantime, God bless a FABULOUS stylist who is helping to keep me sane. :-) A friend at work gave me a fabulous book from the Mayo clinic, it gives actual-sized drawings of baby, up to twelve weeks. That is very cool to see. (I don `t know...works better for me than fruit). Anyway, feeling good. No morning sickness and tiredness is easing up. I have a lot to be thankful for. :-)
