Well everything is going good so far, no nausea... YET, just some fatigue which I can live through! I `ve been fighting through a cold which is NO fun when your pregnant!! I `m a bit scared of a miscarriage because I `ve had one before although my OB trys to keep me at ease about everything, It `ll be in the back of my head until my 12th week (the end of March I `m counting down!). Our first ultra sound is March 10th, HEARTBEAT!! I `m so excited, I think thats when it will really sink in for my husband and I! Although he is already talking to my belly haha I keep telling him they cant hear you yet... but.. hes very persistent lol... daddys =)
